My girlfriend is going to be buying a MacBook Pro 13 inch, and she is going to use it for school work and regular daily web browsing. Should she spend another $300 on the 2.7?

The baseline i5 would be more then sufficient for her needs. Her money is better spent on RAM and SSD upgrades.
 
Yeah, baseline model should be more than enough for that.

Have her put the extra cash into a sleeve, case and like the others have said... RAM and SSD (depending if she wants that). If not the SSD, then an external monitor should be perfect for the homework at home.
 
i advise not to get SSD. money is important. get the base i5.

got to micro center and they have to for $999. or go to best buy and do the price match.

upgrades advise to be the corsair 8gb @ amazon for $39
and momentus XT @ $99
 
I'll suggest taking whatever money she might have spent on the processor upgrade and buy an external monitor. 8GB is nice, but unnecessary given her intended uses.
