sanctified Veteran Posted November 7, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2009 A highly customized MBP should be a beast among the current Apple line. According to Apple Store the best MBP you can get will cost around $4,398.00 and includes: 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm SuperDrive 8x (DVD?R DL/DVD?RW/CD-RW) MacBook Pro 17-inch Hi-Resolution Antiglare Widescreen DisplaApple LED Cinema Display (24? flat panel) Optionally you can forget about the extra display and just use the cash for something else. BTW, can you show me some ti:p? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted November 7, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted November 7, 2009 The best is usually the biggest and most expensive MacBook Pro - BUT... People have their different definition of 'best'. I'd personally never buy the 17 inch one, even if money is no object. There's one to the right of me, and it's just too big and heavy to be used as a laptop. It's always sat on a desk here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one to the right of me, and it's just too big and heavy to be used as a laptop. It's always sat on a desk here. He is right and because of that I did another custom one but now based on the 15 inch model. For $3,299.00 you get: 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm SuperDrive 8x (DVD?R DL/DVD?RW/CD-RWMacBook Pro 15-inch Antiglare Widescreen Displayb> And save another 1000 bucks that can go either to savings, debts or getting a Cinema Display and a SSD drive ($4,798.00 total with these two) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truba11a Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 I think $1000 for ram is a rip off so i think ill get a ssd hdd instead, would blu ray be available ? and the apple time machine device what's that about? how does it work? is it worth it? I really want something for back up i use my iphone as back up right now lol A highly customized MBP should be a beast among the current Apple line.

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted November 7, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted November 7, 2009 Time Machine is a set of system backups. It's like System Restore on Windows. It basically makes snapshots of your system at different times, so if you have a problem, you can 'go back' to an earlier config. It works with any hard drive, so there is no cost involved other than the cost of a hard drive. I'd use it for safety. Blu ray is not available on OS X right now, but it may be in the future. Also, $1000 for a twin set of 4GB sticks of Apple compatible DDR3 memory is actually about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
