Hi y'all

I work on my (edit: 2013) 13" base MBPr a lot for school having many large PDFs open at once along with Powerpoint, Excel, Word, Safari, and Outlook all running. The 13" machine can't keep up without some pretty bad lag and stutter while running these tasks concurrently, even sometimes without display scaling on. How are the newer machines holding up to these tasks?

I can get $800 in trade-in value for my machine. Should I go for the new baseline MBP or go for the 15" 2015 model?

Thanks!
