I would like to install some sort of virtual machine on the 13 inch model. Would there be a significant difference between the two 13″ models for having some sort of firmware running XP? Does the 9% speed difference also apply to the virtual machine situation?

Thanks for the clear and well-laid out article. It helped me decide on the 2.2Ghz Sandy Bridge i7 with the hi-res, anti-glare screen. Amazon and B&H(to customers outside NY state) offer many configuration options tax-free. I bought mine through B&H Photo and saved almost $300 in sales tax that I applied to an OCZ Vertex III SSD.

You talk about processors for the 15″, but don’t go into detail about the 2.3 Ghz, does the 3.4% turbo boost and 8MB L3 Cache mean anything?
