I am looking for thoughts and insight to purchase options for a MBP. I have an earlier model of the black MacBook which I love. It is time to upgrade and pass this MB along to one of the younger ones in the house.
I am looking at the 15" MBP and reading about Intel's i5 and i7. I am trying to decide which avenue to go down - 2.4, 2.53, or 2.66 AND 4 or 8GB of RAM and are these options worth the money. Here is what I am doing on my current MB:
E-mail and internet
MobileMe
Online database research
Some photo editing (Adobe Photoshop)
Very little video editing
Presentations (PPT and / or Keynote)
Numbers & Excel
Document formatting (Word & Adobe Pro)
Parrallels (Windows XP home) for 2 specific software apps not made for Macs
IBM notes email client for work e-mail
Cisco VPN to access school servers
Any thoughts?
Thanks
