I realize you will be running a large monitor with your laptop, but even =
if you were to only occasionally  use your laptop alone, I would highly =
recommend the 15" inch.  The 13" is really small.  Too bad they =
apparently no longer offer the 17" which is the one I have.  It's also a =
big plus to get a quad core.  Bottom line, if you are sure you will be =
happy with a laptop, then get the 15" without question.  I recently went =
back and forth with this very decision for a laptop for my fiance and we =
wound up getting an iMac AND an iPad for just a little more than a 15" =
laptop.  She's thrilled with the choice.   Of course, she won't need to =
be running AE on either.
