[QUOTE="mac57, post: 584879, member: 17052"] I just went through this myself and finally selected the lowest end MacBook Pro vs. a fully loaded MacBook. For me, a fully loaded MacBook would cost $1450.00. That is simply taking the stock 13" white model (didn't want the lowest end MacBook due to the lack of Superdrive) and upping it to 2 GB of RAM. For another $550, I could get the lowest end stock 15" MacBook Pro. So what does the extra $550 get you? Well: 1/ Bigger screen 2/ Better screen - glossy! 3/ nVidia graphics vs. onboard shared memory graphics 4/ Much nicer keyboard (IMHO) 5/ Illuminated keyboard 6/ Firewire 800 7/ More attractive look To me, looked at this way, it was a "no brainer". It was worth the $550. That's my two cents (well actually I suppose, my $550! :D) p.s.> I have had my MacBook Pro for five days now and I can honestly report that I am [B][COLOR="Blue"]delighted[/COLOR][/B] with it. It is a wonderful machine. [/QUOTE]
