[QUOTE="zman2408, post: 729807, member: 33377"] Ok I have done a complete since I originally posted, my cheapness has changed my mind haha... I plan on buying the cheapest mbp the 1799 w/ the student discount... Since this is my very first mac I decided I don't need the best most expensive one to learn on... & since I am looking at 8-10 more years of school, my photography & video hobby may be on hold for a while I don't need the extras of the better mbp... I figured out that the 512mb gfx card vs the 256 isn't gonna make a difference to me and the only other reason to pay 500 bucks to upgrade to the middle mbp is for the 6mb of cache 2.5ghz cpu but since I'm not gonna be running any major programs I don't think I'll even know a difference... From what I've read I think the updates in October are going to be mainly cosmetic which i dont care about b/c I <3 how they look now. BUT I do care if on October 14th my 1799 mbp becomes a 1399 mbp so I will talk to the salesmen and figure out what kind of "protection" I have or can get with that... How long do you have to return a mbp to a mac store? Hopefully it's 30 days that gives me until Oct 22 ish ... What do ya'll think ? [/QUOTE]
