[QUOTE="Imperial109, post: 1174150, member: 188790"] Hi I am new here and need some help with my first purchase of a macbook pro. I def want the 15 inch screen size, but I am really not computer savy with GB's and GHz's.. I saw on the Apple site there are 3 different choices for the 15 in MBP. What I am going to use it for mostly is writing, music, and recording music since I am a musician. I am not a photo guy, my wife does all that. And I am not much of a video guy either aside from recording a song and putting it on youtube. I also do alot of web surfing and updating my sites. My thing is this, I don't want to spend 2 thousand or over and and have a small amount of space to be gobbled up quickly. I know the 2.53 GHz has 500 gb's of memory and the 2.4 GHz has 320. I see that as a big difference. But I don't get the size diff in the GHz's with 2.4, 2.53, and 2.66. Is it that much of a difference? And the Intel core i5 and i7, is there a big difference between the two of those? And one more thing, the mb size, 256mb and 512 I am assuming that is a big difference as well? For what I am using it for which would be the best choice to look further into? Thanks, Matt [/QUOTE]
