Objective Advice Only Please: Buying 2010 15" to Replace 2011 11"

[fruitycups]

Okay, objective opinions only please.

I know the 15" owners will come in and say how great the 15" is and how it beats everything else and i know the 13" owners will come in to play the portability card.

My question is, is it worth selling my 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and add 200 cash for a 2010 15" with high res (glossy though) 2.4?

I don't game or do heavy editing and i do value the portability on the 13". I wouldnt mind the high res screen though. Its just the constant 15">>>>>>everything is starting to make me wonder what the better option is.

You are asking for objective answers to a subjective question. You need decide what is more important for you; the 13" form factor or the high-res screen, and what is the best fit for your budget.

hahha just noticed the objective to subjective.

very good observation.

according to benchmarks the 2011 is better than the 2010. any difference in real world performance?

I would keep the 2011 model over a 2010 model even if it was 15" with high-res display. The hardware otherwise on the 2011 is better ans faster. Thats me though.
