Hello, I believe the general specs of the 13 inch version are just capped lower
then the 15 inch. My current laptop is a 15 inch so I do not mind getting
another one.
Greetings, Anouk,

If the screen is unused, would there be any disadvantage to the 13" MacBook
other than maxing out at a 2.53GHz Duo core? Shaves off a bit on the cost,
about $200.

I agree,
The only way I would consider a 17 inch is if it had a built in numpad.
My hp Vista laptop has one and I like it.

Hello, still since I am blind and would use the macbook pro only for myself
17 inch would be overkill, even for me especially since I have to haul this
laptop to school a few times a day and walk with it on my back for an hour.

Hi,
I was just on the apple site last night and they said the 13 and 15 inch
mbps last for 7 hours on a battery and the 17 inch lasts 8.

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
