[QUOTE="techster82, post: 201891, member: 14842"] My rule of thumb with laptops is to always buy as many upgrades as I can afford. When I say upgrades, I also try to stick to things that aren't easily upgradeable by the owner. I would not spend the money on Ram as it is usually much cheaper to buy it from someone other than Apple and you can easily install this yourself. The processor may give you a little faster computer, but is it worth the extra money for 160ghz more? So that throws out those two options as they aren't worth the $270 more. The only thing left to upgrade that "may" be worth the money would be a bigger hard drive. Storage is very valuable on a laptop, especially if you are planning to dual boot. Ultimately the choice is yours but I wouldn't spend the extra money if I were you. [/QUOTE]
