    13" vs 15"

    I know this has probably been a topic a million times. I am new to the forums but am looking to upgrade from my 13" 2.3 i5 to a newer faster computer. I mainly use the computer for video editing and photo editing. I am looking for some advice if just upgrading to a newer 13" would do or should I look into a 15" model.

    I am sure you would see the benefit on having more screen real estate for video editing with a 15" MacBook Pro. I use my 13" MBP for coding when away from home and I find the small screen a bit of a pain some times.

    The 15" one has got a dedicated graphic card and the other does not. It depends on whether you need the graphic card that much as well.

    I went from a '09 Macbook Pro 13" to a 2010 15" i7 MacBook Pro (Had an 11" Air in between). It took some getting used to but I love the 15". I upgraded to 8GB of RAM and a SSD as well.

    If money is not a concern, I would say go for the 15" one.
