Have a Blackbook (May 2008), getting new MBP (13 or 15 inch)

[CP123]

Hey, I have a Blackbook, a little over a year, but am getting ready to purchase a new MBP. Trying to decide between the 13 inch and 15 inch. There's nothing wrong with the Blackbook, I am keeping it. However, I need a separate laptop for my business. The Blackbook will travel with me, and the other laptop for the most part will stay home. However, when on a business trip, I will take the MBP.

The Blackbook will be used for everything (personal, work, etc.), and the MBP will be used for business purposes (contracts, etc.).

2 quick questions:

1. Can I use the same MobileMe account for both laptops.
2. I am leaning towards the 15 inch. Is portability a big difference than in the 13 inch, or will I not notice the difference?

Thanks.

I say get the 13" if you don't need/want the graphics card. I just like the look and feel of a small, yet fully functional laptop.

I say go for the 15", the extra screen real estate is worth it. You already have a 13, so why not?

Mobile Me will work on both machines...that's the point...to keep everything in snyc.

I'd say check both out at your local apple store but from my experiences the larger screen is definitely a plus and getting the dual GPU will certainly give you some flexibility. With that said, I find myself using the integrated GPU 90% of the time, even on GPU intensive apps like aperture.
