[QUOTE="chrisrudes, post: 1339787, member: 225918"] Good Morning, I'm looking for some advice on what machine I should purchase - I'm currently upgrading from an early 2009 13 inch machine and I'm unsure which new pro would best suit my needs. I don't mind spending some extra cash if I will truly notice a difference when handling my workload. I will be using the machine as a main computer (surfing, media etc) but also for some pretty intensive audio (Live, Reaper) and video (imovie, final cut) work as well. The portability of the 13 inch machine was a benefit of the past as I do alot of recording out in the field but I'm just wondering about the 15 inch because it's a quad core. It appears that the new 13 inch i5 or i7 processors have a faster clocking speed than the 15 inch model. Will the quad core make up for that difference? My understanding is that the quad core will be better for multitasking, am I correct? All in all, will I get better value out of the 15 inch machine and is it worth the extra money? Thanks in advance for any advice! [/QUOTE]
