I thinking of "upgrading" my MBP to the latest MacBook 12" 1.3Ghz with 512 storage.

Can anyone tell me if ill notice any performance 'improvement' in any way. I only use it for browsing, basic documents editing - nothing intensive - but probably stocks and shares day trading if I ever get deep into it. Its probably a waste of money but after 4 years just looking to move on. MacBook is lighter! Battery life still pretty good on MBP but will be more on MB I'm sure.

Anyone tell me if the screen is better?
The ram noticeably faster - 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (MBP) v 8GB 1866MHz LPDDR3 memory?

After selling mbp its probably a £1k cost.

Thanks.
