Hi, I'm on a student budget and these are the two most affordable notebooks I can purchase. Are there any differences between the two? I want to use the notebooks for digital drawing/painting in photoshop, photo editing and 3d rendering and gaming with starcraft 2. I can understand maybe the 3d rendering my require more power, which is why I'm considering a pc notebook, but that's not the main priority at the moment.
 
I would look for a used 15" You'll appreciate the increased screen size for doing you artwork. For the $1300us you can get a decent mid level 15" of the first gen unibody. That will do everything you want. You'll probably feel limited by the 13" screen.
