[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1660810, member: 56379"] Believe it or not…you can't bump up the ram. The 16gig that comes with the stock configuration is the max. ram for the 15" MacBook Pro. But you can bump up the CPU speed & amount of internal storage. By the way…the $500 extra for the higher end model is actually not a terribly bad deal. That extra $500 (compared to the lower end model 15" MBP) you get: - a faster CPU (2.5ghz vs. 2.2ghz) - more internal storage (512gig vs. 256gig) - and the dedicated graphics hardware If someone was to theoretically upgrade the lower end 15" MBP to the same specs as the higher end model…it would cost: - 2.5ghz CPU upgrade = $100 - 512gig storage upgrade = $300 Which means that the actual cost of the dedicated graphics is only $100 bucks!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
