Hi

I think I will order....

13" Macbook Pro 2.4GHz with:
4GB memory
128GB solid state hard drive

but I'm only a college student do you guys think i need that SSD hd?
because I want Low 15" with anti glare or regular High 13"...

idk what do you think?
 
If I were you I'd get the 2.4 GHz 13", then bump up the HDD to 500 GB. Trust me, the space will be a lot more useful than the speed.
 
SSDs are up to four times faster when opening files and applications, other than that, there is not much to it.

Better go with a regular HDD and update yourself at a later time when you have the money.
 
I would go for the 15" i5; much faster; and you said you wanted anti-glare so that would mean the high-resolution display as well.

As for an SSD, don't buy the Apple upgrade, go for the Intel X25-M. A much better choice.
