[QUOTE="Corbri, post: 640537, member: 52815"] I would just honestly go pro, and my reasoning for that is, you want speed, and you don't ever want it to be an issue. If you go pro, your going to have the graphics card, and more speed. Now maybe you won't use it, but if you decide you want to for any reason at any time I figure you probably won't be so happy with the MB. Not that the MB isn't a good notebook, but you seem to be a lot like me, and that being said I just say go Pro. If money really isn't an object and you are going to keep it for 3+ years (like myself) then aim high, and then in 3 years it will still be good. Not to mention by the time you fully upgrade the MB you are reaching the price of around a MBP anyway, and you'll have the school discount to help you too. And the MBP from APPLE you can't get the 7200 rpm harddrive which many have told me is very important when you are looking for speed. Now I'm not sure if you could buy an aftermarket one for MB and install it but I'm about easy and getting what I want. So get MBP upgrade the harddrive to 7200 rpm, and I'd buy the memory after market because it's a heck of a lot cheaper and super easy to install. You said you want the best thing possible too, which automatically says go Pro... because its the best. And like I said, you "may" not use the graphics card but I really wouldn't underestimate curiosity. I mean you're going to be in school you might get bored one day and say hey I wanna play World of Warcraft or some kind of a game, or do some video editting for a presentation for WOW factor and if you do try and do that on a MB you might just get irritated because it's not going to do it perfectly. The way computers get updated so fast too, I just always get the best because it lasts you longer. Now I think mac is better about that then pc but still, I always rather be safe then sorry and if you get the best now, it's going to be better then the other in the future. About the screen size I'd agree 15 is good. I agree that 17 is just blah to big for a portable notebook, it feels weird. [/QUOTE]
