I'm 14, and I need a 15" for:
Graphics editing (Photoshop)
Light gaming
Movies (iMovie)
Huge iTunes library (50GB and growing)
Video encoding (Handbrake)
Music editing (GarageBand, Audacity, Cubase)
The screen (13" is too small IMO)
The list goes on and on...point is, don't underestimate people's computer usage by age.
Just got my 13" i5 and love it. Been using a core duo Blackbook for almost 6 years. I came across some disposable income and made the best decision. Looking forward to using this i5 for another 6 years with it being capable of using 16GB ram and 1TB HDD.
I think 2011 MBP are over rated just because they come out doesnt mean you have to run out and buy it this goes out for people who buy a new macbook every year it comes out i think thats a waste of money i bought my macbook one month before the 2011 macbooks came out and im still fine with it yes i see the benchmarks are larger and stuff but how fast can you get arnt our machines fast enough already? If you really want speeds dont change your machine, just get a SSD and put more ram in your MBP but if you have anything with a i5 CPU and higher i think you should be fine but to just go and buy a new mbp just for the GHZ and the cpu alone or that thunder bolt they are talking about is just a waste of money if you dont need it.
Everything here can be done on a 13" or a desktop, if you really need the screen estate then get a 24" external. Two screens and it's still cheaper than a 15".
OP, if you have bad grades then it's much wiser to spend your time studying instead of working 3x a week for 10 weeks! Education is really important nowadays, if you get a good job you can buy as many MBPs as you want.
I know... I laughed when i saw this, and not lol, like literally, wholly laughed.

Good for you man! It ain't easy out there to make a dollar, but you sound like you got a square head on yah!
You don't need to insult anyone. At my high school, whenever someone sees my iMac, iPad, or iPhone, they get jealous. It's a status thing when your a teen. The more Apple products you own, the cooler you are.
Ladies and gentlemen, the youth of America. Listen kid (real talk), in the real world, you won't be cool unless you have the income to match the gear. I hope you're on a good path to college and a good job, because mom and dad ain't gonna be around all yer life to spoil you.
And I don't know what's more impressive - the fact that your parents spent all that money on the loot or the fact that you actually convinced them to sequester those supplies for you. Not trollin'. Genuinely impressed. +1
As for OP, if you got the money and you're OK with spending it. TBH, you should put that $200 in a savings account. You see how it is nowadays, right?
Kids say the darnest things, ya know!
EDIT: To the 14 year-old who needs the 15" - I call BS. I have friends in the industry with doing what you're doing on lower specs. It's not that we don't think you guys are very functional. We're just amazed that you guys are capable of such activity at a ripe age. KEEP DAT UP! ::thumbsup::
how old are you?
I dont think anyone who is 14 (like the guy further up the post) needs a brand new mbp 15" for a "50gb" iTunes library.... and also I doubt they need the absolute fastest PC for whatever weekend editing they do...
but the OP seems to be more switched on, I hope you get better results in school
