[QUOTE="Stouthearted, post: 1055633, member: 155812"] Alright I'm on the verge of making what I think is going to be a very good decision. In a perfect world money would be no object concerning this purchase, but it is so I don't want to make a mistake. Here are some of my questions about these awesome macbooks: 1. Do I need the faster processer (i5 or i7 in the 15 inch model) or can I get by with the core 2 due in the 13inch? I will be editing HD video (Canon avchd) and doing moderate photo editing in PS. My old HP had a similar processor and it bogged down while editing video. 2. Is the Hi Res and matte display worth the extra money? 3. Is the One to One thingy worth the money. 4. How long will it be before we see those SSDs come down in price? I can't see paying for one now, but I also don't want my MBP to become antiquated a few months after I buy it. Also is this a reasonable DIY upgrade down the road? 5. I'm a teacher so I think I qualify for an education discount. Is this significant and how do I make sure to take advantage of it? 6. Why can't these things be just a little bit less expensive??? [/QUOTE]
