Buying a Macbook Pro soon and need some help!

[mattmitchell]

Hi! First post! Yay, haha!

I'm planning on buying a 15 inch 2.2GHz Core i7 Macbook Pro. And i was wandering which upgrade i should get or which would be better...The High Res Glossy Screen or the 750GB (7200rpm) HD. I was also wandering since i will be buying it in Feb/March should i wait till the next release?

Thanks

The HDD can be upgraded for less by yourself, the screen can't. If your eyes are okay, go with the High Res screen.

Welcome to Macrumors.
"Which Upgrade is better" Is subjective.
I would probably get the display as it is not user replaceable. .
Know one knows when the Macbook Pro's will be upgraded, but they just were.

Ah, I wondered why there was just a question mark now, but I left it alone. Maybe a bored child.

+1.... That said some children are helpful.

Some, but only the ones not near me. I am one of those unregistered pedophobes, as the city I currently reside has so many fantastic parents with so many fantastic children, that Christmas is a blessing, due to them shipping off to the south.

But I get what you are saying. It could also be a twentysomething or fiftysomething. It could even be a pet. You know, one of those cats, that love out loud.

I know how you feel. Cats that post on the internet really are starting to tick me off.

Buy now...if you wait till April 2012 in 280 days from then it will always be an upgrade from Apple

I wouldn't wait for the update coming in 2012 it may be irrelevant for your needs, so buy it in Feb/March if you need it then . And i'd go for High-res screen since the HDDs are user-replaceable can be done quite easily.
