Hi Everyone,

I've been Mac User for 6 years now ! My trusty 2010 MBP 13 is ready for upgrade. I'm starting my Masters in Computerscience so would need a competitive machine. I'm panning to max out on the RAM. But my only concern is the screen size. Since I'm not a Gamer and nor do any video editing etc I don't see the need for a dGPU. But I'm keen on having a larger screen for ease of reading etc. But unfortunately Apple doesn't have the non dGPU version of the redesigned MBPr 15. Do you think it's worth shelling out $500 for the 15? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

DR
