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.
