Re: MacBook pro - OT

Sorry Carl. I didn't mean to get caught up in the thread. Back to the
original question:

Jeferson,
     If your focus is travel with something lightweight and your main
concern is Visio (Not the latest COD release) then I don't see why you
would want anything larger than the 13.3. You can travel easily and pull
up Visios via whatever VM solution you employ. You can always get a
large external monitor for when you need to sit down and do complex
drawings. Now, if you don't have an office or anything where an external
monitor would be convenient, you might want to consider the larger
laptop for this purpose and sacrifice the weight a little. That is up to
you. Really for what you have mentioned any flavor will operate fine.
