[QUOTE="bentharbour, post: 1240715, member: 193210"] It really comes down to your personal choice based on what you do with your Mac. $400 will get you +0.2 Ghz clock speed, + 250 GB 5400RPM HDD, + ~750 MB Dedicated VRAM. My suggestion would be get the best Mac you can for what you can afford. You may not be into games or REALLY heavy video editing now, but you may be in a few months or a couple years. It cannot hurt (besides the bank account) to load up on specs. To sum it all up, you have to ask yourself: is the upgrade between models worth my hard earned $400? note: if you get the Education Discount, the difference is only $300. additional note: You can always upgrade the Hard Drive and Ram, but you cannot upgrade the processor or video card (or at least it is extremely difficult) [/QUOTE]
