[QUOTE="ThirtySeven, post: 1479932, member: 286935"] Never thought of an external CD Drive, thanks! Space is very limited, although i could store all of my important needed files on the SSD, and keep my media, such as music and games, on an external storage device. The only concern with that is, when i put all of my music into iTunes, then remove the storage device at a later time, all of the music will be "lost" or corrupt, right? And even when i plug it back in, i will have to re-put it all back into iTunes? Other than that, will games work fine stored on an external storage space? Because games take up a lot of memory also. On a side note, 8GB of Ram is plenty for me and i'm happy with that, but... What about the 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor? To be honest i'm not 100% as to how much that slows the mac down compared to the Pro's 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7? I know Ram helps your computer run more applications as well as more complex applications smoothy. But what does the processor do? Does it also just speed up programs, or does it speed up something else? [/QUOTE]
