Second problem is the i7-1280p is actually the top end CPU for the 28W segment, which is 30-40% faster than the i5-1240p. The 1280p is 6+8 cores, so it has 2 more performance cores, the 1240p and 1260p are 4+8.

With the same thermal / power / chassis design, it's going to be a small difference in the vast majority of applications between the i5 and i7. A Core i7 is almost never worth the price premium over a Core i5 in the same series - you're better off saving the money and replacing your laptops slightly more often - in 3 years a Core i3 will blow this Core i7 out of the water.
This is a significant cost cutting measure they did and will effect resume and wake from sleep modes. Comparing the two there is a noticeable delay.
