Hello,
I am not a typical graphic designer but I own a graphic design studio and have all the work running on Illustrator, Photoshop. I need a laptop which can of course handle all the files, but mainly help me share new designs with a client. Am extremely confused on whether to go for a 13" or a 15".
Thanks

If you can spare the extra cash, go with the 15 inch model, the GPU that the 15 inch has is a much better option than the default intel HD graphics found in the 13" model.

That's my point - he probably uses a Mac every day in his studio...

Get the 15 inch, non-retina, with 1680x1050 anti-glare screen. Add RAM and an SSD yourself (with the retina this is impossible). It's amazing hardware, and with a Samsung 830 or Vertex 4 SSD and 16GB RAM, you'll be really happy.

Would pick the 15" but thought the 13" is more portable. Thanks everyone for the input and Naf for the extra bit. Cheers
