If it were me, I would go with the 12" 1.5 hands down. Faster machine, bigger harddrive, waayyy more RAM...yadayada. Unless you need the bigger screen as a matter of taste or practicality for what you'll be doing with it its an easy decision.

Yea, the 12" sounds like the better deal, unless you need the screen space. What will you be using it for?

stuffing feathers up your b*tt doesn't make you a chicken.

If you need the screen size, you can always an external display down the line. I would go with the 12".

I went with the 12"; for screen space I can use my external lcd.
Should get it tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who confirmed my initial thoughts.

i agree.
but the speed difference seems quite significant as well. so it relaly depends on what your priorities are. can you deal with feeling cramped?

12in. Its super portable.
Unless you need the extra screen space, go with the 12in. You'll enjoy it.
