Regardless Windows or Apple I wouldn't spend that much on any laptop. Price isn't really a big issue to me. I will pay to be happy with my laptop and not have headaches because of it.

don't do any upgrades you can avoid with Apple. If you want more RAM or bigger HDD, do it yourself.... will save a lot of money. Not too many other options you should need.

If you want portable, the 13'' is a nice size, 15" starts to get a little big to be taking around and fitting on a desk in classes (at least for me it was)

Just thought I'd throw that out there as I too had concerns about 13" being too small, but its really a nice size actually.

I always chuckle a little when people have their big ass 17" older-gen MBPs that barely fit on a desk

13" works fine for me.
If it was up to my wife, she would rather go smaller.
