Whats your thoughts [17-inch 2.3GHz 512GB SSD]

Why on earth would anyone buy a Mac and then change the internal hardware with another company's products. .. seriously? Because you know better than Jobs and his engineer's at Apple? Seriously?

What on earth are you talking about? They are looking for cost-effective parts, not the ones that are the best on the market. Apple aren't nearly the masterminds of hardware that you make them out to be.

If the MBP is so bad, maybe you should take your incite to HP or Dell. ..I am sure they would love to know how to beat Apple. . . they don't seem to have the firm grasp on Apple's deficiencies as you clearly do.

Have you ever heard of the Elitebook line? Also, popular =/= better, otherwise, the Toyota Camry would be the best car ever made and Nickelback would be a great rock band. Neither are true.

Just one more point, if you don't know why someone would choose the anti-glare option, you can't be helped. I am amaze that you clowns continue to come on these boards if the products are so horrible. Just amazing. . . .sort of feel sorry for your ignorance. ...not really, but it is funny all the same.

I love AG, no argument here.

And just one more question. . Would you recommend someone with a S class Mercedes replace its engine with a better one? . . . please keep posting, I need to laugh. . .its good for the soul.

I guess that you haven't ever heard of Brabus or AMG then?

There's no reason why you need to spend $4500 on this laptop if you are planning on doing those things. A Windows rig with dual HDDs and an optical drive will serve you much better for much less money for what you want to do.
