Hi,
I am looking at seriously buying a MBP, just torn on a few items...
1. I do ALOT of MetaCAM(Water-Jet programming/operations) and Google Sketch-up Pro work. Along with pretty much everything else in the Microsoft Office Program. So I need a MBP that can keep up with internet browsing with multi tabs open, watching my email, running a few programs like AutoCAD and MetaCAM(Which will be kind of rare to have all running, but I don't want my comp to freeze)
2. Price is not that big of a deal, But I would like to keep it under $2500. Under $2000 would be even better.
3. Now the million dollar question.
13" Core 2 Duo or the 15" i5(beast)
I would love the Anti-Glare Hi-Res glass as well. But It only comes on the 15". As you know. But it isn't that big of a deal really if I can get by with a 13"...
So, which one do I get?
(Also, I am not going to upgrade the RAM or Hard Drive through Apple, waaaay to expensive, I can get all the same stuff for about half or more less then what they charge)
Would a 13" do me fine? Or do I have no choice and get a 15"?
Thanks for all your help.
