13" or 15"

Hi,


I am in grade seven andgoing to high school next year and I am saving up for a new laptop and a friend told me about the MacBook Pro but I don't know whether to get the 13" or the 15".

I will be using it for gaming and school work and I would like the cheapest one possible, but I want it to be fast and accurate so it doesn't freeze like my current windows 7 pc.


Thank.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

I may even be able to get a discount for the k-12 program

And even if that's the case, I'm sure that there will be an Apple drive, just as there are third-party drives, that will fit the bill.


I only use my optical drive when I'm plugged in, anyway. I do use it a lot, but not on battery power. If I had to use one as an 'indoor' drive only, I'd probably buy an LG Blu-Ray reader/writer anyway (which I might do at some point as I use my drive principally for backups.


I like to watch movies on airline flights. It makes the time go by much faster. I could do what I see MacBook Air users do.


Duct tape an external optical drive to the bottom of my computer.
