Macbook Pro 13" worth the $1300

The most POWERFUL MacBook 13' to date NEW features NOT available on previous MacBooks

Apple's new 13-inch MacBook Pro received the biggest upgrade of the lot. The advantages are numerous. You get much better CPU performance over the previous generation. In fact, the new 13 can outperform last year's 15 thanks to Sandy Bridge. The new 13 is quite possibly the best balance of portability and performance. It's the single largest upgrade you'll find in the lineup. If you own a previous generation 13-inch MBP, the upgrade is 100% worth it  -AnandTech 
No two ways about this: the new MacBook Pro is the fastest laptop we've ever tested, hands-down.
