Just pondering whether to get the MBPr 15" with or without the Nvidia 750m. Not gaming though, but will be heavily utilized in plenty of video rendering and editing in 4k and beyond.

Any suggestions?

of course get the one with the GPU.. else why not just go for the higher spec 13" with 512GB SSD and upgrade to 16GB ram.. besides the quad core, you dont get significant features with the amount you paid extra for the 15".

Noted.
The quad-core is important, rendering time = productivity = money.

Will get the one with the GPU.

*EDIT*

Is AppleCare worth it to get?

small rendering not that noticeable .. huge ones then quad core yields close to 2X the performance but... you sure you wanna do it on the macbook  ohmy.gif
well since you mentioned rendering, then there's even more reasons to get one with dedicated GPU altho im not sure if OSX have softwares with cuda support.

applecare of course worth to get.. and you dont have to get it on the spot. you can wait maybe almost 1 year then you extend the warranty with applecare

Movie lengths typically 1 hour 20+ mins or so, at 4k and with downsampling after as post-process.
Have to (not that I want to, I'd rather a desktop tbh), because always on the move. Lots of plane flights, moving here and there over various locations.

Thanks for your help though on the applecare. Will wait a while to get it.
