[QUOTE="nicolesmithweb, post: 1257572, member: 205685"] I ended up going to the Apple store and have decided on the 13" MacBook Pro 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 with 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive. For $200 more, I could upgrade to 8 GB of RAM. It was between this model or the 13" 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with 8 GB RAM and 500 GB hard drive. The reason I chose the i7 with 4 GB over the i5 with 8 GB of RAM is because the consultant at Apple told me the faster processor would allow me to have more programs open while the RAM is the speed of which programs open and close. In the end, I do a lot of multitasking with a lot of programs open, so he recommended the faster processor. But again, if I want to spend $200 more, I can get the 8 GB of RAM [i]and[/i] the Intel Core i7 dual-core processor. [/QUOTE]
