Which would be better with the current line up a 250GB 5400rpm HD or a 200GB 7200rpm HD?

Well, wiht 50GB being the determining factor. I would say that would put maybe 7% of that in the high speed sectors closer to the center, so density wouldn't give you that much of a boost on the 5400 drive.

Figure, if you spring for one of the 200G 7200 Hitachi 16m disks, you will be better off.

Definitely buy one yourself. Apple is a ripoff for ram and HDD upgrades.
 
Dutch store is down too.

This seems to be a big deal. Usually not all the stores go down at the same time, and usually the store goes down an hour and a half later than now. I think this is going to be a big update of the website, for sure.

I think from a design point of view the MacBook is going to be replaced with a silver-and-black one. Just like the new iMac and MBA. And, of course, the rounded edges of the new iPods and iPhone. Black is the new Apple-colour. Maybe the displays will see a design update too today.
 
with not only the U.S. store down, but all international stores down something big is coming.

I just had a freakish nightmare!! When the stores come back up, Bill Gates' picture will be there with the quote ...

"If you can't beat them, buy the company!"

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! :D

Yeah I was leaning toward the faster drive but wanted to ask? Really I knew Apple was a bad choice for ram but HD too?? Wouldn't it be an advantage to buy it with them and have it all setup and good to go out of the box?
 
UK store is down too. Just in case you were wondering...

A silver Macbook would be great. I'd be all over that.

Well yes for convienience. But being both cheap and poor I would rather keep the extra money for myself. Their HDD prices aren't "too" bad, but to install 4G of ram in the current MBP models, they are making about $600 pure profit for something that takes about 5 minutes and a screw driver.

Got it I was going to get 4GB of RAM from Crucial but I think for the HD I'll just get it through Apple ;]

Thanks for responding

Beatles Reunion

You know what it would take to have a Beatles reunion? Two traffic accidents.

That is funny. I just figured, with all of the time they spent around studying Eastern religions that there might have been a backup plan they worked on. I know if Paul had his way...
