I'm a college student who just recently switched from international business to a graphic design/industrial design program, which, as most would expect, means I switched from an all PC area to an all Mac area. I have always been big on my graphic arts so I made sure I bought a rather strong computer. Right now I have a Samsung Laptop with an i5 processor at 2.67 Ghz w/ 4GB RAM and 500GB Hardrive. Now im looking at the 2012 MacbookPros (non-retina). Would it be better for me to get a 13" with i7 at 2.9 Ghz or the 15" Quadcore i7 at 2.3Ghz, as in since I'm going to be spending so much money, I'd like to see an upgrade in my computers speed and power, especially because I most likely will need to be running AutoCAD on it at some point. I know no matter what I will be upgrading the RAM and most likely the Hard Drive. Anything would be helpful, from personal experience to cold hard facts.
