So...
Finally the new Macbook Pro's arrived.
I've waited for this update in months - although I haven't got the money before now.
A few days ago, I would have chosen the $2499 with 2GB of memory, and then upgrade the RAM after a few months. (Even a Macbook is faster than our PC right now - so I don't need 4GB to start with)
The things different for the 2 versions is:
Graphic with 256MB vs 512MB
2GB vs 4GB
2.4GHz vs 2.53GHz
250GB HDD vs 320GB HDD
So it's not a lot.
If I'm taking the cheapest (2.4GHz-version) I'll upgrade the HDD to at least 320GB @ 5400.
So my question is:
Is it worth all the money to just to get 0.13GHz, 256MB and 2GB RAM extra?
I'm also byuing a TimeCapsule...
What I'm gonna do on the Mac:
Working with MAMP and my own site.
Using Photoshop to edit pictures, and making icons.
Maybe playing some more. (Just some WoW and Spore)
Having a lot of things open (6-8 spaces)
Maybe running VMW Fusion with XP/Vista and Ubuntu/Debian.
(I've only tried a Mac a few times, but I've "studied" a lot on the internet)
I think thats that.
