You've done me a great service with this article, Mark!
I'm nearing the time to replace my 13" MacBook Pro and I was leaning unnecessarily toward the purchase of an up-specced MacBook Pro, but based on what you've said and my actual use, doing so would have cost me $100s for no good reason. I can buy a lot of tacos with those saved dollars!
Thank you for saving me from making an expensive mistake.
Onward!
Guy
