I manage to sell my 2 year old dell studio xps 13, and I am ready for a macbook pro, my first. After reading all the thread about 13" vs 15" vs iMac, I've decided that 13" is the one for me. Now, I am at my final decision, I hope I can get some advice here...I will be using it for web design (using artisteer, gimp, flash), learning apps development (objective c...etc), watching movies, casual gaming, day trading (running thinkorswim), vmware.
the questions in my mind are like this, will i regret later for not getting the dual core i7? is the integrated graphic processor good enough for the above ussage? if not, what if I max out the ram to 8GB, will it help?
well, upgrading to 8gb and SSD drive is what I plan to do later, or should I just get the apple 128SSD? is it true that the SSD comes with Apple configuration is of lower quality compare to other brands (btw, what brand does apple uses for SSD).
