really dont want smalelr than a 15 inch and the newer model is like 2000 USD so i was wondering what the wonside to the older model is other than the HDD instead of SSD

if i can just get the older one for 800 i would be happy with it if the only difference is slower booting time .

Everything about it is faster.

The main question is what will it be used for exactly.

Then its hard to say which one to get.

Someone doing a basic admin course compared to someone doing engineering will need different things.

I have a 13 inch and it does the job just fine man. Just make sure you get a pro and make sure you get the i7 processor. You'll be good to go. I paid 650 for mine barely used and it is like perfect.
