I bought both last year in late 2010 when they came out. I really wanted to keep the 11 but the 13 was just a much better all rounder. I always wished I had kept the 11. But once you sit down at a desk, portability stops being an issue and you appreciate the extra screen size.

1 year later and I sold my 13 to buy the new 11. For some reason I again ordered both the 11 and 13 and now I still can't decide which one to keep. I really really want to keep the 11 but the smaller battery, very slightly slower processor, worse speakers and smaller screen keep putting me off. The price is almost identical (top 11 vs base 13). The extra portability just makes me want to forget about all these drawbacks.

I plugin to an external monitor at home anyway, but what about places where you need the screen size. Anyone done or seen anyone do a hackathon with the 11?

If they just dropped both models and brought out a 12.1" my life would be complete.
