Hello
I'm currently planning to buy the White MacBook, and i have a couple of questions.
Firstly
What would be the advantages of 4GB RAM, i understand the basics of what RAM allows you to do, run more programs, run parallel OS etc. But I would mainly be using a Mac for: iTunes, Pages, Keynote and Safari and a few other basics apps, nothing to strenuous like Video Editing.
So my question is, would i see any real advantages to my system by upgrading to 4GB RAM instead of the standard 2GB, I intend to keep this computer for 3+ years, so would RAM be a factor in maintaining the computers health and functioning?
Also, if i were to go with the 2GB RAM, would this be sufficient to run OS X Lion when it is released? I know the requirements haven't yet been released for Lion, but do people expect 2GB RAM to be enough to run Lion, and run it well and to its full potential?
Another question i have is whether i should hang on and wait for the White MacBook to be updated with the rest of Notebook line?
Could anyone suggest possible upgrades that would come about from the update? Like with the MacBook Air for example, it has moved to SSD Flash as opposed to an Optical Drive. What can we expect from an updated White MacBook?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tom
