Hi Guys


Which one will be better for running windows on bootcamp , the 2017 13" TB or the 15" macbook pro's?

not going to game much , going to use it for other software for my work (SEO tools - nothing too heavy)

from what I understand , the big minus using bootcamp on the 15 is that the dedicated graphic card is always on - that can't be too good for battery life I am sure , is that also going to cause extra fan noise? problems?

any other hits/tips regarding this issue will be highly appreciated

Thanks in advance
 
If you don't need to do anything heavy then definitely the 13".
As you said, the 15" always uses the dGPU which makes for pathetic battery life (4 hours max when I had a 2014 with GT750M).
You won't get the same battery life as in macOS with the 13" but it will be much compared with the 15".
