Thanks! Yeah, I most likely wouldn't be doing much in AE but I presumed that since it doesn't have a dedicated video card that the heavy stuff would slow it down.
Did you put 8gb or 16gb RAM in yours?
I have 8gb. Kind of my one regret really, 16gb would have been a good idea ;)
Can it power a 4k (3840 x 2160) external display at 60 fps?

Have feedback?
While I cannot comment on the 2015 model I can say that the previous version—without the Force Touch trackpad—has performed flawlessly for me. That said, I can only assume that the new model would be even better.
The only time I've had a hiccup of any sort has been when working in QC/Origami (my CPU goes insane, they're aware), or sometimes a bit sluggish when exporting videos from AE. Though it seems like those won't be problems for you.
Hope this helps, just wanted to pass on general 13" MacBook experience.
