I'm a graphic design student and I just got a really great internship..one problem, you have to bring your own laptop (lame, I know). My old macbook can't handle some of the large files I have to work with not to mention the 13" screen is less than convenient so I decided to invest in a macbook pro. I really wanted to get the 17" mbpro with a matte screen but I just can't afford it (being a student and all) so I got a refurbished 15" mbpro (with only the glossy option 
) ..it's on it's way right now and apple only gives you 14 days to return. I've been reading up and all I hear is bad things about the new macbook pros (for creatives) and I'm worried I'm going to regret the purchase down the road... I was torn because I don't want to switch to a pc..I love mac os..it's so easy to browse through files, the design is so unimposing and it runs so smoothly. Plus, my job & every design class I've ever taken has been mac based so it's just much more convenient. And I didn't want to fork out $1,000+ for an older mbpro.. So I was hoping to get some advice...
Should I keep it or does the glossy screen make it unusable for graphic design? (sorry for the long rant!)
