Hi = Michele, 

The 15" models (regular or Retina) = seem to be the only MacBook Pros in the current lineup that have a = CUDA-capable Geforce card capable of accelerating AE CS6. The 13" models = use Intel 4000 graphics, and while that may work OK for Premiere, it = won't benefit After Effects much. 

I think you = will see a very nice speedup from the SSD drive, if you didn't already = upgrade your previous MBP.

Brian

Hi = Everyone

I am going to buy a new MacBook Pro today. =  I need something that can run CS6 speedily and CS7 when its out. I = usually keep a laptop 2-3 years. I will mainly be using this to demo = plug-ins at user groups and events and when I'm on the road. 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. 

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!
