a week ago, I got the go ahead from work to split the cost of a MBP as I needed a machine for work ASAP. I walked into the apple store in town and found that the high res screen which I lusted after was only available on the highest end machine, and that they were out of stock at the moment, and that I couldn't get the high res on an i5 machine unless I ordered online. Seeing as I needed something for work the next day, I picked up a standard 15" guy and went about my day. The other day I found that the store had the ag high res mbp in stock, and they said they wouldn't charge me a restocking fee if I exchanged my computer. Now I really don't think i need the i7 proc, but I do want the screen, the question is, would I be better off saving the 350 and putting it towards an external monitor and maybe an ssd down the road? or should I just go ahead and upgrade the notebook as I'll probably have it for years, it'll play games better, and more real-estate for working with images and the like.
thanks
