Here is my issue...
i am a student who currently uses a 2009 Sony Vaio Pentium.... still going strong (minus the 30 min battery life) basically a desktop now.....
so i have finally decided to upgrade... my options were either a Xps 13" or a MBP
i have sucked up to
and decided to go for it....
my options are as follows:

this will be my first Mac.... i will be using it for college and eventually uni as well as day to day usage...
i would like to have Windows running on it as well hence the 16gb ram..i wont be using so much for gaming, just now and then.... and i wont be doing heavy duty rendering/video editing... will be used for films and music. i will need portability (sony weighing 2.4kg) so both weigh less.
A couple questions:
1) is the upgrade for i7 in the 13" worth it , if i went with that ?
2) is the quad core worth the upgrade/extra money?
3) Or should i just wait a little longer and see what the event shall bring ?
btw both of these are roughly at the max of how much i will spend (education store)
