So I'm getting a Macbook Pro for architecture school. I think I'll primerily run adobe programs like illustator and photoshop. I also take a lot of pictures and have a lot of music. So I was thinking I'd get a Macbook Pro. I want to spend as little as I need to but money isn't as big of a concern as getting a computer I'll be able to use for a long time. So I want a 15 inch, I know that, and I know that I want at least the 2.66GHz. If I get the 2.66 I get 256mb of ram on the graphics card if I get the 2.8GHz processor I'll get 512 mb of ram on the graphics card. I'm also deciding between a 320 gb 5400rpm hard drive and a 500 gb 5400rpm hard drive and a 500 gb 7200 rpm hard drive. Finally the type of display.
Question 1: Is 2.8 GHz a lot faster than 2.66? Is 2.66 enough?
Question 2: Is 512mb of graphics ram a lot better than 256? Is 256 enough?
Question 3: Whats the difference between a 5400rpm drive and a 7200rpm drive? Is 5400 enough? Is 320gb enough? Is 500 too much?
Question 4: Glossy screen or anti glare?
Question 5: Anything I've over looked?
Question 6: Should I wait? Anything exciting on the horizon?
Thanks for the help guys!!
