[QUOTE="larry_, post: 615644, member: 50965"] [b]Thanks everyone, a few more questions[/b] Thanks to all for your answers and advice. Switch 101 has been very helpful. Thank you The Vindicat3d. I am looking at the 15'' MacBook Pro with 2.4GHz, 2GB 200GB 8600MGT. ($1844) The price for upgrading to a 2.6GHz is over $700. This seems excessive. Is there really a significant performance improvement with just 200MHz? My primary use will be a broad range of business applications but I also use Photoshop 7.0 on my PC and will buy a version for the Mac. Which is more economical: buy a Mac and later upgrade HD, RAM or just buy it fully loaded? How upgradeable are Mac's? It looks like there is a stranglehold on Mac pricing; something I am not used to seeing in the world of PC's. Is there price fixing by Apple or are these machines really holding there own price up?
