So what am I looking for?

I’ll be running, frequently, Adobe CS4 Production Premium along with Lightroom and some other programs.

From what I can tell:
- the Studio 15 is so cheap, but seems to have really good… well, everything! Why is it so cheap? Is the studio XPS just expensive because of the design?
- the Studio 16 seems a waste. Admittedly, it does have this ATI thing which seems good, but I’m sure the GeForce upgraded version that I’ve selected for the 13" will be adequate. So, ultimately between the 15 and 13.

Thank you!
