The "WHAT I ordered and WHY thread"

[amac4me]

A few suggestions:

1. List what you ordered
2. Why you ordered a specific configuration over a different configuration

This will likely help others to decide what to order

I'll start this off listing what I ordered today:

1. 15-inch: 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 with the 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm , Hi-Res Antiglare
2. I'm replacing my Penryn 15-inch MBP that I bought in early 2008

I'll be upgrading it to 8GB RAM once I get my hands on it.

I need the extra computing power over my existing unit as I'm running more apps at a given time, run alternate OS's via VMware Fusion, and simply wanted a new machine after 2 years. I like the 15-inch form factor and didn't want to get the larger 17-inch. The 13-inch didn't offer what I was looking for.
