15" Non Retina dGPU Question?

[d3m0nz3y3]

I am trying to decide between the 13" and the 15" models and was wondering what tasks would kick in the dGPU for the 15". I plan on using it for light gaming (SC2), photo editing through photoshop/aperture, some light iMovie work and app development along with all the other day to day usage. I will also be installing windows as some of the tool i use are only available on it (design engineering schematic capture and pwb layout). Can the 4000 on the 13" handle all these without any issues?
Thanks for your feedback!!

HD4000 will choke on SC2, unless you enjoy minimum settings. And I mean BARE MINIMUM - it will look worse than SC1. And it will still run at 25 FPS.

It's a rather HUGE difference.

Outside of gaming, you'll be fine.

Yes i checked notebookcheck.net and looks like 4000 was bad on SC2, but didnt expect that bad. Thanks for your help
