What processor did you pick and why? Personally, looking at the reviews out so far, it seems like the 2.3GHz seems to run pretty hot and battery life with web browsing only is just over 8.5 hours. Wondering if 2.6 would just be even worse.


***Assume 2.7 is 2.6Ghz.

I chose 2.0GHz because it was above and beyond my requirements.

I just wanted the 15" Retina Display tbh!
