Hi,
I've decided to upgrade my MBP. I currently have a late 2011 MBP 15", 2.2GHz intel core i7, 4GB, 500GB. I major in graphic design at university, and my current laptop is fine, but in the last few months, I've noticed it starting to lag and have a hard time keeping up with tasks in programs, such as Illustrator. I'm deciding between the new 2013 MBPs, but am unsure which one to buy. Is there much difference between the 2.0 and 2.3 GHz? Do I need a lot of RAM? There's a bit of a price gap between the two models, but I am mostly concerned about what will make the computer faster and if there is much difference between them at all.
Thanks.
