[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 366701, member: 29446"] Not really but they make deciding on a computer really difficult. I want a 15" MBP with atleast 2gb of ram and a 256mb video card. Keep in mind I'm buying refurbed. The price of one of those is the same price as a 17" MBP with 2gb of ram, a very very slightly slower processor, a large hard drive, a faster dvd burner, and I think that's it....I really don't want a 17" but I can't see spending the same price on a laptop that's smaller and only has an advantage of a 2.33ghz chip over a 2.16, but also has the disadvantage of drive space and chip size....the only way to get the cheaper laptop is a 15" with 128mb video card. And even if I went with the base MBP, I'd still have to spend the money on memory which would make it cost nearly as much. I'm going to be using it primarily for logic and in studio recording / at home editing. I want the beefier graphics card for a few games that I'm going to make work though (come on, need something to do on those slow nights) and I could possibly be using it for other things... [/QUOTE]
