the 15" is i5 so it is quite a bit faster,
I have the base 13" with the 4gb ram, it's pretty good for me, my 20" mac is the same specs and it's horribly disorganized after using it for 2 years but it's still fast enough.
unless you game the 13" is enough, the screen is a little small if you do a lot of browsing with 2 windows open like me. Kind of a weird habit i developed having one youtube window while browsing rs lol.
I highly recommend google chrome, until last month I never noticed cos the internet at home was fast enough so I always use safari, but at sfu it's not very good and i found chrome to be way faster. I don't know why exactly (i'm a computer noob too) but it was! hahaha
I heard solid state drives are really good
Battery life is the main selling point because it really is quite good, the other day I forgot to charge my battery and it was DEAD, I charged it while I was getting ready to go to school (approx 20 mins) and it was good enough to last me for the 2 tutorials I had that day. on uber battery saver mode of course lol
I'm really happy that I got the aluminum unibody over a cheap plastic one (either windows or the cheaper mb's) my gf dropped hers during her lecture and it banged really loud onto the ground but upon inspection there was only a minor black mark, I licked my finger and it came right off, good as new hahaha
