[QUOTE="Cryki, post: 1143030, member: 179730"] Hello, this week i am going to get a MacBook Pro, i am stuck on what version to purchase, i was looking at getting the 15 inch 2.53 ghz but i dont wether to pay extra for the 2.66ghz. I mainly will be using it for music mixing, editing and the general day to day email/internet use. Here is the Choice of configs i was looking at: Config 1: # 2.53GHz Intel Core i5 # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB # 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ [COLOR="Red"]7200 rpm[/COLOR] # SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) # MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display # None # Backlit Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English) Config 2: # 2.53GHz Intel Core i5 # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB # 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ [COLOR="Red"]5400 rpm[/COLOR] # SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) # MacBook Pro 15-inch [COLOR="Red"]Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display[/COLOR] # None # Backlit Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English) Config 3: # 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB # 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ [COLOR="Red"]5400 rpm[/COLOR] # SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) # MacBook Pro 15-inch [COLOR="Red"]Glossy Widescreen Display[/COLOR] # None # Backlit Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English) Config 4: # 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB # 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ [COLOR="Red"]7200 rpm[/COLOR] # SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) # MacBook Pro 15-inch [COLOR="Red"]Glossy Widescreen Display[/COLOR] # None # Backlit Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English) Config 5: # 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB # 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ [COLOR="Red"]7200 rpm[/COLOR] # SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) # MacBook Pro 15-inch [COLOR="Red"]Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display[/COLOR] # None # Backlit Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English) I know there are alot there but i need to make sure i get value for my money. Is the anti glare screen really worth adding....? I only use it outside occasionely but my room does get alot of sunlight. Also is the added RPM improve the perfomance. Would be very gratefull to all your views and advice. Thanks in advance. :) [/QUOTE]
