[QUOTE="simplysae, post: 715571, member: 65480"] Yes, I am referring to 3G (USD$3,000) as the budget. I wanted to max out my specs b/c I'll be dealing with graphics intensive softwares. 4GBs of RAM is required to install and run the software. How and where can I get the RAM upgrade and can I do this myself, considering I am in USA? $3G is my max budget for the laptop, which doesn't include the software I need. Also maxed out is the storage space. At 200GB, I'm compromising that with the 7200rpm, as I don't have much time to wait for files to transfer. I only want the 17" because of the resolution, but I will be carrying it around so 15" is better suited for my small build. TimeCapsule is ideal because I need to backup my data often, as design files take up tons of storage space. I'm planning to still use this laptop after I finish my schooling. Doesn't MBP come with wireless? I already have internet network through Linksys at home but can I connect to that using the mac? Is it true that there Macs don't get a lot of viruses? I'm so ready to switch to Macs for this reason too. I could just get a Dell XPS but I really don't like Vista. I want the best hardware for my money. [/QUOTE]
