Great information here. I am soon-to-be a new MacBook Pro user as I am ready to buy it online now. However I had a few last minute questions, mainly about upgrading the RAM from 2GB to 4GB. It seems from the feedback here, the consensus is definitely NOT to upgrade thru Apple and to buy it later from a 3rd party vendor. (The upgrade on Apple's website is $360). If you're curious what I'll mainly be doing with the MacBook Pro - I do a lot of photography and will be working with lots of high resolution images (image sizes are often about 5MB's each). I'm having Aperture 2 pre-installed so that's mainly it - Digital Photography, I'm sure I'll often be playing music with iTunes, and using the Internet (often having them all running at once).
So, reassure me that I should not bother buying the upgrade from Apple and to get it at a later date (if necessary) thru a 3rd party site at 1/3rd the price (I've seen the upgrade for about $90 - which sounds way better than $360) ...AND do I really need it at this point since 2GB might very well be just fine for what I'll be doing???
Thanks for the help. Like I said I'll be a first time Mac owner so coming from the ever-so-frustrating world of PC's, Windows, and Microsoft software, I'm really looking forward to this. Thanks again.
