I have a 2010 model, 15" core i7 w/ 4GB = RAM and it just chugs with AE CS6, and with all the plug-ins that I need = to keep installed, it's just not cutting it. So, today I'm going to buy a new one. I'm considering getting a 13" 2.9 = GHz dual core i7 with 8GB memory. I wonder if stepping down from a 15" = to a 13" will be a big deal? I used to run a 17"! I didn't notice the = screen size difference much but the weight difference was huge.=20 I'm wondering if any of you are running AE CS6 on one of these or can = recommend a what I should get with it? Does it run pretty smoothly, not = chugging along? Any issues with plugging it into projection systems? = Retina display or no? The retina displays are only 2.5Ghz core i5 on the = 13". A friend of mine says not to get the retina display but I don't = remember why he said not to. Thanks in advance for your help. I am not really a hardware person and I = just don't know what to choose!
