    I was using a 15" Pro Retina with an external display since November last year, up until last week. Just left my job so I had to give it up :(

    Anyway, the computer was a beast. I maxed out the ram at 16GB of course. Great machine. Only downside was the battery life, in particular when playing video. The new Intel chip should improve battery life by a lot though.

    Now I'm wondering if the new 13" will be powerful enough if I max out the processor and the ram? Only reason I'm looking at the 13" now is for portability. I'm planning to sell my 2009 iMac and buy a second-hand 30" display to use as an external.
