It is just that the 13" is extremely capable and should handle pretty much anything, the 15" will just get it done faster. There really is almost no task that is impossible to do on the 13" these days, and that is partly due to Intel really producing amazing CPUs.

I must admit, from what I have now seen, the dual cores used in the 13" MBPr's are really powerful. I suppose it is also the all SSD route that is making them feel fast too.

Every dual core i5/i7 CPU has been more than capable since the Core branding was launched in 2009. I still have a 2010 Vaio Z series with a dual core i5 CPU and 3x64GB SSD's in a RAID 0 config that batters most modern machines in the performance stakes.

I'm really struggling to understand the point of this thread.

It was because I only seen the entry level Macbook Pro (with the 4Gb of RAM, and the 128Gb SSD) as Apples 13" Macbook Pro on their site, and I thought that that isn't really a just from the high end (not BTO, just high end) Macbook Air.
