Getting ready for cMBP 13"

[troyhouse]

I will be getting cMBP 13" very soon, in next couple of weeks. I have ipad/iphones but first time getting Mac laptop. I have gone through all the threads and very excited about owning mbp.

I have already got the LR4, as I have D3100 and really looking forward to play with pics.

I am looking for some pointers on must have accessories, and software for getting started:

Hardware:
-Mighty Mouse
-RAM 16gb upgrade
-SSD (still not sure about Samsung 830 or 840)

Software:
-Parallels/Fusion

Accessories:
-minimalistic screen and body protectors.

Please add your recommendations on must haves.

thanks, thanks in advance.

Why screen cover?

Why screen cover?

i have seen people using microfiber cloth to protect screen when lid is closed.

ok - that makes sense. Thought you were going to cover it with a permanent screen protector.

I've had my 13" MBP for more than 3 years and I never used a screen protector. I don't think they're necessary.

Forget the mouse. The trackpad on the MBP is awesome. I've never used a screen protector since 07 and I've never scratched the screen.

As for body protection, I like hard shell cases like Speck.

which is better speck clear or kuzy.

i have seen many with speck but not sure about kuzy, any opinions on it?
