![]() The one less pound of the 13" model means I can also bring my personal iPad Pro fully loaded with my fun & games & music & browser tuned to AppleInsider with me on business trips and still be under 5 lbs including power adapters. I concur about size and weight, especially if you travel with it. In other words, the base 13" price is to get you into the store and then you will likely "need" to upgrade the memory and SSD to be less confining than getting a MacBook Pro and strangling it because you really could not afford it in the first place. The gap looks wider just because the config starts with lower level options at base config. With that $300 gap from the 13" to the 15" you gain the GPU 560X and the option to go to 32GB on order. Basically common config example would be 16GB memory, 512GB SSD. 13” Macbook Pro is for those who cannot afford the 15” models, which is okay! But for another $800 more you can get the 15” model which has more features and is a lot more powerful too! I think the choice between the 13" and the 15" has more to do with preference on bulk and weight and less to do with overall cost - in that once you homogenize the choices between the top end of the 13" and 15" - the gap is not that wide and easily justifiable based on options included and options that open up.
