I am about to buy a MacBook PRO but I can't decide whether buy a 13" or a 15". I will mostly use it for publishing on webpages, Photoshop, newsletters, etc. But also for smaller film projects and InDesign work. Maybe also bigger project once in a year. I travel a lot so for that 13" would be better, but maybe I'll need 15". What do you think? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

You won't "need" 15". I, myself, will be swapping my 15" for a 13" next year, since the added portability is simply worth more to me than the additional screen real estate. Due to the high resolution screens, you do get the same amount of workspace on a 13" as you previously got on the non-retina 15", and you can go even further - tough that would mean making everything quite small.
Just try both for yourself in a shop, order one with a longer return window (shouldn't be too difficult so short before Christmas) and return it if you're not happy with the size you got.
