[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1622341, member: 56379"] Ok again…good deal.:) The reason why I was asking was…I wanted to be sure none of the 15" models you were looking at had "dedicated graphics" (separate graphics hardware) for better graphics performance. Neither of the 15" models listed have dedicated graphics (both have integrated graphics). So what this basically means is…inside the 15" models are really not too much different than the 13" models…except for the dual vs. quad core part. So if you really like the 15" display…this plus the fact that the 15" models have a quad-core cpu…are two great reasons to get one of the 15" models. Makes sense…I'm the same way. I actually have a 17" MBP that I use this way sometimes.:) If you really like the 15" display (more screen real-estate)…then this is a BIG need. You're always looking at the display. So if you like a bigger display..then the 15" is the way to go. Plus you get the quad-core. Definitely don't go with less than 8gig of ram. And remember the ram cannot be upgraded after purchase. So if you feel better with 16gig of ram…get it. 256gig of flash storage seems like a good place to be. - Nick [/QUOTE]
