Hey guys,


I have been waiting for this update just like everyone else, but now that its here i dont know what to do!

I am going to buy one of the new MBPs. I am a student, really only using it for notes, internet, watching movies, etc... no gaming, no video editing, no photoshopping. Initially i wanted the 13" for portability, but i think i want to get into one of the new processors. On the one hand, i figure if im spending $2000 on a laptop, i may as well go all out for the i7 15" because of the processor, video card, etc...

However, i will not be needing the bigger video card, and the i7 vs. the i5 wont be a huge difference in speed will it?

What are your thoughts? I know the mid-or even low-end 15" would be plenty, but for the extra couple hundred bucks is it worth it to upgrade to the i7?

thanks
