I'm new to mac and just out of a whim bought a 15" rMBP (base model: i7, 2.0ghz, 8g ram, 256gb ssd, iris pro graphics). But I'm not sure if I would need this and I'm now contemplating on going with the 13" i5, 2.6ghz, 8g ram, 512g ssd.
I've been wanting to switch from windows for a while and now i've done it. I would mainly use the macbook for web browsing, email, office applications (pages, keynote, etc) and watch movies. I would also use it to convert all my .avi/.mkv movies and tv shows to .mp4. I plan to start using my nikon d90 and upload some photos and maybe use aperture (when i learn how to use it), and that's it.
Portability is a plus but not so much since 4lbs is nothing compared to carrying a pc gaming laptop around. The hard drive space on 13" (512gb) is also nice too, and maybe play app games but not serious gaming since I already have a high end gaming laptop.
I bought the 15" rMBP (brand new) for $270 less than it's $1999 price which equates to the 13" macbook's price. I just want to know if it's worth exchanging it to the 13" and what recommendations anyone has to give me.
Thanks!!
