Hey guys, i'm a 18 yr old student who has stopped gaming for a long time now since my crappy PC has aged. I am about to gift myself a MBP for christmas, and I don't know what to choose, depending on my needs. I live in Brazil, where the cheapest MBP is the equivalent to US$2000, so I'll ask a friend to bring me the MBP from the US. I am not exactly overflowing with money, and my budget is kind of strict, as I don't want to ask my parents any extra cash.
I have around $1500, but my budget can be a little more elastic, in the matter of $150.
I want a MBP 13", but I don't know which of the i5 or the i7 processors are best for me, and if I should buy 4Gb or 8Gb RAM. Remember, RAM is also expensive as ******* here in Brazil, so if I'll have to upgrade it, it should better be now.
TL;DR: i5 or i7, 4Gb or 8Gb RAM - don't game but want to someday - not very intensively - budget: $1500+-$150
