13 inch vs 15 inch MacBook Pro

I guess 13 may turn out to be the unlucky number when picking between the 13 or 15 in Macbook Pro... though the author adds 13 is fine as is because the cost in getting a fully vamped 15" may not be worth it.
  • The option of faster graphics circuitry The 15 inch can be ordered with a combo of the embedded NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and the discrete NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT, whereas the 13 inch is available with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M only. Apple Aperture becomes more sprightly with a faster graphics card, and when comparing how responsive the program is when layering RAW adjustments such as Highlights & Shadows on a Nikon D3 photo that has also been corrected to straighten a horizon, the GeForce 9600M GT definitely makes Aperture feel snappy and responsive. But, the GeForce 9400M is no slouch in this department; Aperture's interface does drag slightly by comparison, but the difference is less pronounced than we were expecting.

    In addition, the GeForce 9400M can play Canon EOS 5D Mark II 1080p video full screen on an external 1920 x 1200 pixel monitor, without stuttering or hesitation. This camera's unedited video tends to cause lesser video cards to collapse during playback, but is no problem for the MacBook Pro 13 inch.

    Without question, the GeForce 9600M GT is the more powerful graphics option, but the GeForce 9400M is none to shabby and seems more than adequate for various photo and video tasks.

  • The option of a faster processor The 15 inch can be ordered with up to a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, whereas the 13 inch tops out at 2.53GHz.

  • The option of a faster hard drive Only the 15 inch can be ordered from Apple with a 7200rpm drive, the 13 inch is restricted to 5400rpm ones (plus SSDs).

White Macbook vs Macbook Pro(Aluminum unibody)

A grade faster processor, a slice thinner, a hair split .5 pounds lighter, by far stronger aluminum vs polycarbonate the 13" Macbook Pro looks to be a clear winner and big step from the 13" Macbook White.

Previously a review between the Macbook White vs Macbook Pro/Aluminum(all pro's r now aluminum) choosing the best of was a very close call. And the difference was at least $300 that was hard to justify the upgrade.

Now the 13" Macbook Pro has all of the following below that the Macbook white doesn't. And only a $200 difference that's seems to be well worth the upgrade.

  • Multi-Touch Track Pad
  • Illuminated Keyboard
  • Firewire 800 vs Mac White firewire 400
  • SD Card Slot
  • Longer Battery life by 2 hours
  • DDR3 SDRAM
  • LED Backlit Screen
  • and of course the aluminum unibody
If your in the market for a new Macbook, the 13" Macbook Pro seems like a obvious choice. If you already have a Intel Core 2 duo above 2GHz and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Macbook, its better to wait til prices fall. Probably around fourth quarter next year or when they drop Snow Leopard. Your missing but not missing that much.

I bolding predict that they'll remove Macbook White or over haul it and drop the 13" Macbook Pro to $999.

Bottom line:
Bringing in an SD slot and bringing back the FireWire port—while also lowering prices—eliminated Apple's weakest links in the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Add bigger, better battery life

Unparalleled multi-touch gestures. Best-looking chassis in its class. Sturdy. Return of the FireWire port. Bigger, better battery life than its predecessor's. Lower prices. Backlit keyboard. Loaded with green cred. Now with an SD slot.


What are your thoughts? What would you end up buying?
