Hai. Can Has Advice Plz? Tenx.
Im in school, Yr11 (thats a Sophomore i believe) and im looking at gettang my first laptop - a MacBook pro
Ive already posted a thread similar to this but i cant find it, anyway this is a little diff.
Is the extra 270MHz + 2GB RAM + 90GB HDD worth the extra £200 sterling?
MBP 13 - 2.26 / 2GB / 160GB @ £781 NEW - iQ Apple Reseller
MBP 13 - 2.53 / 4GB / 250GB @ £999 NEW - iQ Apple Reseller
Im adept with desktops so im assuming laptops will be easy too, I will get 4GB RAM either myself or BTO if I go with 2.53, and im likely to pop a 128GB SSD in and EITHER use the 160/250GB HDD as external or OptiBay.
So this is a question of: is the extra 270MHz and 2GB of ram enough to justify the extra £218 pounds?
I will be using the MBP for music, msn, heavy browsing (like 5-15 tabs); as well as Photoshop/Indesign/Dreamweaver CS4 and maybs iMovie or Final Cut for editing skate movies.
Im looking to sell and buy one of the new i5/i7 when theyre released, if they have 200M so thats probly about this time next year. Considering this, it would be better to go with 2.26??
*Also can anyone recommend an SSD.. Im not sure whether or not to OptiBay but Id rather just have 1 datastorage location in the lappy coz im disorganized otherwise :/ Im looking for something over 100GB.. but I cant afford to smash open my piggy bank
