[QUOTE="ckuta, post: 1133106, member: 177361"] hello folks, i decided i want to play around with osx and the best way to do that is to buy one. i have entertained building a pc and installing snow leopard on it but i havent ruled out just getting a mac. ive been examining these macbook pros and they are pretty much identical, for the configuration i would get. the only difference being the screens and one has an additional usb port(very handy) while the other has a sd slot(also handy). i will be getting the same hdd, same processor and same gpu, hopefully anyway. i read that the memory used in the gpu can vary. thats another matter however. do you folks think theres much advantage in the 17 inch over the 15? the smaller screens give the "appearance" of a sharper image and im thinking 17, 15 isnt that big a difference. still the 15 inch cant match the resolution of the 17 inch. cant think of why that resolution would matter tho.
