Additionally, the standard MacBook Pro is just a hair thicker, costs significantly less and is far more future proof (you can easily upgrade the memory and storage, with industry standard parts).Just some food for thought.  Unfortunately, you don't have this option with the 15" model anymore, but if you're good with the 13" screen, I wouldn't even think twice about it.</blockquote>
