I am looking at configuring a new MBP. My first thought is the 15 is the good compromise in size, and it offers the hi-res monitor. Then I noticed the 17 has the hi-res also, but it is non glare? I think I get from reading other threads here that the non-glare is not the screen preferred by most? I use Photoshop a lot.
Regarding RAM; is the 8GB a good enough deal that it is best to just buy it from Apple? It appears to me buying an upgrade parts kit is not saving that much. Am I wrong?
One more question/topic. What is the value derived from the higher speed hard drive?
Last question: I think I read somewhere here about a user buying a Pelican case big enough to fit a mouse along with a 15 inch MBP. Is that right? If a person buys the 17 inch, is there a Pelican for that, also capable of holding a mouse?
Thank you.
