MBP-R / 13" or 15" / Why So Little Price Difference ?

[Jedi]

Hi Guy`s ,

Well to make a long story not so long.

I have looked at the MBP-R 13" and 15"

For around 200 you get i7 plus separate ( dedicated ) GPU.

Am I missing something ?

Seems like a "no brainer" to go with the 15"

Please advise me

Later , Happy Holidays !!

Now the rest of the story:

I thought I would save some coin by buying a Toshiba , so I had the
P855-S5200 > 15" >i7>8Gig`s>HD4000>750GB HDD.

So after many sleepless nights and hours of restoring ( plus trying to learn W-7 , after a 20+ year hiatus ).

The mother board fried ! No BIOS , No Boot Manager , was the last error I got in the BIOS screen.

Tried a new HDD and booting from my W-7 ISO disc , but nada , no BIOS.

So , BB was very understanding of my problem and was only about 2 weeks outside my return window , so I received "store credit" for a busted "Toshi"

I guess someone was [ is ] trying to tell me something , something I already know , but must have had a mental failure !! LOL

U get what U pay 4 !!

Cudos to BB for helping me out of a jam.

I agree. You have to *really* want the smaller size to trade a quad-core i7, NVIDIA GPU, more screen pixels for $200.

I've seen the base model 13" rMBP sell for $1649 and the 256GB upgraded model sell for $1799 at Fry's. At those prices it's a little more reasonable, but I agree at the 13" model is expensive!
