[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1198219, member: 184879"] loving the analogy. spot on. when i say magnetic hard drive, i mean just a regular hard drive: hard drives read data by the magnetic charge from the platter. SSDs store data differently, in a more reliable way. an SSD would be a the best performance increase for these machines. you'd see a very noticeable performance increase. just because the CPU clock speed (GHz) is lower it doesn't mean it is slower, because it has more cores. these little cores are all a little cpu, and they work together. more cores = better performance. just one major noticeable difference in the two laptops: the 13" has a little bit of a crummy graphics processor. if you want to do any gaming, i would go for the 15". however by your interest in Rob Swire, im guessing you want to get into some music production? if so, these machines will both have more than enough power for even the most demanding of DAWs.
