Hi everyone. I just received my BTO 15" MBP today. I love everything about it, except the speakers. Coming from an early 2011 17", they are so tinny. And I use the speakers a lot, so it is pretty important to me. My BTO option was the hi-res antiglare screen.
Here are the specs:
2.3GHz Intel i7 quad-core processor
512GB SSD
16GB RAM
Hi-res Antiglare display
USB 3.0
Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 384MB RAM
I have a brand new, unopened 17" in my closet and here are its specs:
2.5GHz Intel i7 quad-core processor
512GB SSD
16GB RAM
Hi-res Antiglare display
USB 2.0
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 1GB RAM
AppleCare until 2015
Now, the price difference is no matter to me. I love the portability of the 15", but I do not love the speakers. I have gotten used to carrying around a 17" so that's no issue either.
So, which one would you pick and why? Your help is appreciated!
