Hi. I fell in love with my friends' macbook and have decided that I simply must have one. I am torn between two models:
I was going to buy 15 inch model next week because of the screen size and the additional 8Gb of memory. Unfortunately, I am a little bit late and the prices just skyrocketed by 30% (!) due to ruble devaluation basically over night. But I managed to request a delivery of 13 inch model for the old price (~1400$). It is a very good price, considering the model costs 1900$ in russian mac store since, well, yesterday or so. (Tell me about it, the apple products are extremely costly in Russia)
So, once again, I need to answer the question: is it really worth it to pay more for 15 inch model? One of the local resellers can deliver it for ~2100$. This is really a lot for me and I was on the fence about buying it even when it would have cost me 300$ less.
