Hello, I have made the decision to buy a macbook pro. I wanted to go for the 15
inch model (because the 17 inch only has a better screen and would drain the
battery more), i want to get the glossy display because I dont want to spend
more on the matte version. It is still a lot of money for me though so I would
like to save where I can. I have heard that it is possible to get applecare
after the purchase date, that would save quite a bit. Is it difficult to apply
for it later instead of date of purchase and is it more expensive?
The other options that I can select now and which I am not sure about are clock
speed and internal memory. I know i will get the 500gb 7200rpm harddrive.
The 3.0ghz processor version is a lot mroe expensive, about 270 euro I think
but I guess it is not possible to install a new processor later and I want to
use this laptop for at least 3 years and I want it to work well with the new
snow leopard so I guess it is worth it.
I guess I could save a bit on the harddrive but I have no wish to update it
soon after getting my laptop and having to reinstall mac os x when I can
already get it with a good hd for not much extra.
What I am not sure about though is the internal memory. It comes standard with
4gb and I would like to upgrade it with an extra 4gb for use with the new
operating system in a few months. this would be VERY expensive though, about
900 euro. I wodner, is it possible to upgrade this later? Is it possible to use
memory with a higher clock speed then the standard memory that has been
included for example 1366mhz? I am not sure why this memory is so expensive, i
think i bought some ddr3 memory about 2 years ago that was a lot less
expensive then the price apple is asking and it had a higher clock speed. Or do
laptops use special memory that desktops cannot use?
Thanks in advance for your help everyone,
Greetings, Anouk
