So im on my 3rd Macbook(pro) and all have been 13''. the first one being bought only about 8 months ago. One of the biggest sellers for me to begin with was the battery life when compared to anything ran off of MS. This battery life has kept me me at the 13'' size through all 3 MP I have purchased. Now being the computer whore I am Im thinking about possibly selling the 13'' for a 15''.
Now I know that this is a completely per user basis questions but I know some of you have been on Macs long enough to give me guidance on this. Im wondering ROUGHLY what the difference should be on the 13'' MBP compared to the 15'' with 3.06 CPU and 9600 GPU of the 15''?
Right now my 13'' has 2.53 C2D, 4gb of DDR3 and an Intel 160GB SSD. with Itunes on and surfing the web I get around 4 hours with the back light at half brightness.
If the battery life is anywhere close, Say within a half hour difference I think im going to sell my late 09 MBP and get the 15". I just wanted to see what you guys think before I go getting the 15" model and get a 2 hour battery life...
BTW, im not up to date with my CPU specs. If Apple goes with the I series chips in the next revision of the MPB are those supposed to be on par with the battery usage of the C2D, better, or worse? I thought I read somewhere that they are very energy efficient but I cant remember where...
Thanks guys.
