[QUOTE="tvith, post: 719439, member: 66194"] Wow, i've also been thinking about getting a MBP (projected buy date is January) and all these q'stions asked here were the same I have/had. I also use design softwares that are being mentioned in this topic, and was thinking of doing the same thing, going with a 4gb ram and 7200rpm. Not completely my fault, my last 3 have been windows Desktops and when buying windows you def go with 7200 and 4gb (although u can upgrade the ram via third party). So naturally when customizing the MacBook Pro, my thought process was "more is better" lol. Ooo the bad influence of Windows. Some additions... I actually have been checking out both the 15" and the 17" at the store and I love the size and mobility of the 15" but since I always have multiple apps running and eventually will want to get 3D programs running on MBP (once I save up the money to get it..aiming for sometimes in January... yea I do research way ahead of time lol) I decided I would need all the real estate (as I have/am used to a 22" widescreen with my Windows) so I will end up going with a 17".... If only they come out a MBP with a fold-out screen on the 15" that would extend out to say 19" or something lol. The smaller laptops are so much easier to carry around. To [B]Simplysae[/B] I would say go to the store and pick up the laptops, see how it feels, see which one u like... I would say for you, the 15" should b fine, no point in spending extra for a 17" if the 15" could do the same. [/QUOTE]
