Re: MacBook pro - OT

wow this topic raised SO many good opinions and advices.. Im definetly going
for a mac.. :-)

So, do you guys think is worth adding an extra 1200 USD for getting the
500GB SSD ? My friend told me its just AWESOME.. I think I`ll get a 15inch
i7 8gb with that 500gb SSD.. is gonna be a little bit expensive but such a
nice machine..

thanks everyone for jumping in :) fun times!!
