[QUOTE="CrimsonRequiem, post: 973324, member: 62286"] The lower end 15" is pretty much the high end 13" MBP. It just has a larger screen and cost 200 dollars more. If you can't live without the extra 2" then get the low end 15" MBP. I would seriously go to the Apple store or where they sell Macs and do a test run to see what size is comfortable for you. Some things I would keep in mind though. You won't see a difference in CPU speed on everyday computing, such as listening to music, email, and web surfing. You won't even notice it when you do video editing or sound encoding unless you actually have a side by side comparison. Even then the faster processor will only finish a few seconds earlier. As for the video card...well they are all the same on the lower end models and they pull RAM from the system to operate. Just keep in mind that I'm only stating the facts. Only you can decide if so and so is worth the money. Pretty much any of the MBPs can do what you want. [/QUOTE]
