It all depends on what you're going to do with it. The base model 13" has a faster processor but weaker graphics and less screen real estate.

Yeah. Faster proc, faster bus speed, faster drive interface.. It's all about what you need.

Go to an apple store and try out the 15 and the 13. Its hard for anyone but you to make that call.

 

[adnoh]

go with the 2011 13"

Well, only the quad core 15-incher will be on display to try out...which may skew his decision.

and than wait til the new macbook pro comes out.

+1. Weight is all subjective. People say the 15" is not as "portable" as the 13". Do these people carry their laptop like a book? I carry mine in a backpack, lol. People say the same thing about camera bodies. I have no problems hiking with my 1 series Canon, but some people don't like carrying 3LB+ bodies around.
