I think you're actually okay for the meantime, cause only the 15 and 17 inch got the new i5/i7 processors and upgraded graphics. The 13inch remains the same.

ehhh not really. OSX does not support blu ray drives. You could buy an external blu ray drive and use it with Windows via boot camp but thats about it. Apple believes downloadable content is the future thus negating blu ray drives.

No it got hardware upgrades...
Old...
2.26GHz
2GB RAM
120GB HD
New...
2.4GHz
4GB RAM
250GB HD
Also the battery life is now 10 hours and I think has updated graphics processor also.
I've already posted the MBP on eBay and it's not even been delivered to me yetl.

What's the point of watching blu ray movies on 13/15/17 inch screens? Even on a TV you need at least a 40" to get the full effect of blu ray pictures.

My guess is that he and other people want a blu-ray drive because that's the format they own. It's possible that they didn't buy a movie that came in both blu-ray and dvd. Other people might want a blu-ray drive so that they don't have to purchase a separate blu-ray player for their HDTV.
Blu-ray can actually be used as a data disc as well as a movie. Blu-ray discs hold around 25gb so video editors are found of them for transporting data. As for viewing on a laptop screen most computers can support resolutions that are required by blu-ray movies. Almost all TV's under 37 inches dont support 1080p which is the blu-ray resolution. My 17" laptop has a resolution of 1920x1200 while a 60" Sony has a resolution of 1920x1080. I can download hi def movies and enjoy the clarity, its just not as large of an image.

If you are referring to RAM to speed up your processes then yes, you need memory. Crucial. If you want more HD space, then you need a larger hard drive.

So I transferred all my music and videos to an external harddrive. I also trashed the applications and documents I didn't need. The memory on my macbook is still being used up and I don't know by what. I had less than 100GB used up a few months ago. Now it's saying that 240GB out of 250GB is being used up. Can anyone help me out?

I had the same problem recently, after some research, this helped resolve my problem. Check your Email app on your dock, see if there is a folder for "Recovering emails," inside you will find multiple copies of large files/photos that you have sent. That is what was taking up so much of my memory. Delete, not the contents of the folder, but the entire folder in general, then check your memory space. Hope this helps.

So I was thinking and have decided to keep the one I'm getting. It's really not that much difference to me. My iBook only had 60gb HD and that was fine so double won't be an issue. I can always use an external if needed. Also I'm going to just upgrade the RAM to 4gb so it will basically be the same and I've save $300 already.

Thanks but I don't even use the email app or mac mail. It's probably going to take me forever to find out what the problem is.

I'm trying to decide what MBP to get. i have a hookup, so the prices are
My first choice was to go with a 17" i7. I made the mistake of getting a mid-low tier option last time around, and this time i want to make sure i get the best i can get so that my computer isnt obsolete 2 years down the line. I really wanted the 17", but i can't get any build-to-order machines (for obvious reasons

If you are referring to RAM to speed up your processes then yes, you need memory. Crucial. If you want more HD space, then you need a larger hard drive.
Do you have a desktop or a laptop?
you need a 3.5" drive for a desktop, or a 2.5" drive for a laptop (also with this, it cant be taller than 9mm)
Desktop drives are cheaper compared to equally sized laptop drives. Also with the height limitations, 640GB is currently the largest you can go in a laptop. I picked up a WD Scorpio Blue 640GB for $110 on Amazon a few months back and it was definitely worth the upgrade from my stock 60GB.
If not there, try Newegg.com

is applecare the best out warranty, someone told me bestbuy (cheaper too) what is your guy's opinions?
Thegoat: Are you also planning to upgrade the Hard drive to 7200rpm? 8gbs ram? which display?
I'm thinking of getting the 15" i-7 - hi res screen anti-glare - 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm - my only hook up would be someone's student discount CA sales tax is no joke..

I'd suggest getting someone to install it for you. Why not getting an portable external? You get good deals on those all over the place.Originally Posted by LilTunechi85

It was on the bottom of the last page, so I doubt people would see it.
Not the exact color scheme, but the right picture.
