[QUOTE="juice_one, post: 1340824, member: 228581"] [b]hi there[/b] Hi there. I'm in the same kinda boat as you. I have the same sort of needs. i've decided on the 13 inch macbook pro because although the extra screen is nice, I need to be very mobile, back and forth to work everyday, upstairs in the home office, down on the sofa, out on the patio. It would never sit in one place so the size is going to be a major factor for me so maybe thats something you should consider. That 15 inch might be nicer if you're gonna wanna play a few games on the thing. 3 years from now you'll no longer have the latest greatest as we all know but my current intel rig, core 2 duo and 3 Gb RAM from a few years ago is still gettin the job done for me so the quad core is really not a big deal for your needs IMO. and definitely shop around for the extra RAM. I've also seen an 8 Gb kit online for maybe 45 bucks now. the extra 200 bucks is just ridiculous. enjoy your purchase... [/QUOTE]
