Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a macbook pro to purchase. Originally I was set on this 17 incher. However, I noticed that the processor is a bit less advanced than the more recent models and a ram upgrade (to 4GB) would not be possible. I'm eager to play some games on my laptop when I have the free time, so I'm sure I want a powerful computer.
So, I'm thinking about buying this recent 15 incher. It has only 2.2GHz processor (as opposed to the 2.4 model--which is MUCH more expensive) but can be upgraded to 4GB and is probably more powerful than the old 17".
So I'm thinking that the 15" is a better buy because it is more up-to-date and powerful than the old 17". Is that true? And will I miss the nice big 17" screen?
Thanks!
EDIT: I also need this laptop to last for the next 4 years of college and keep me happy during those!! Should I just go crazy and buy the newest 17" model for 3k?? Or should I settle with something and keep it throughout college or what?? What's the best course of action to take?? I need your advice!!
