[QUOTE="PatM, post: 1273189, member: 206085"] I have a need for speed but want a REAL difference. Is there really that big of a performance difference between the 13" MBP with the 2.7 Ghz I7 processor, 8 Gb ram and the 15" MBP with the 2.2 Ghz Quad core I7 processor with the 7200 rpm 500 Gb drive and 1 Gb Radeon 6750 Graphics? Is there a performance rating somewhere that I can refer to? What do you experts in the field see? I know there is a significant difference in the price but is the difference really worth it? My guess is that in graphics intensive applications the difference would be real. But would the difference show up in everyday computing with say lots of multitasking? Would there be a real difference in the "seat of the pants horsepower" if you will? I am contemplating purchasing a notebook for my wife but I may give her mine and possibly look at the speedier model for me. Regards, Pat [/QUOTE]
