hi,
i want to buy one of the latest mac book pros, but confused how to choose one!
i use apple aperture alot and also love to play the upcoming diablo 3, and rest downloading movies and watching them, surfin internet and other stuff, so please tell me which macbook pro should i choose??? macbook pro 13 inch i7 or macbook pro 15"?

The 15" MBP will do much better due to the dedicated GPU, which is absent from the 13" MBP. But I don't know the specs of Diablo 3, if it ever comes out, but the higher GPU (AMD Radeon HD 6750M) might be better suited for that.
But Aperture can live with the 13" MBP's GPU.

Maybe a more descriptive thread title could also help finding more responses, as yours is quite "broad".

It would run fine on the 13" however as stated above, the best choice is the 15" with the dedicated GPU.

That depends on the size of your images and if they are in RAW format or something smaller. But I prefer Lightroom, as Aperture was very slow for my 12MP RAW images anyway.
And a dedicated GPU will help your performance, but the 13" could suffice for the Aperture usage you do.

thanks, it really helps,
i susually edit in jpegs and hardly use raw, i thought about moving to lightroom but for ameture like me, i thought the interface of aperture was way user friendly:
