My school hands out a Macbook (the basic version), but not the Macbook Pro version. There is no way to customize my Macbook beforehand. Since a Pro would serve me much better (in the future) I plan on selling the MacBook and buy a Pro myself. I'd like to have the simple version of the Pro.
* 2,16-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 15"LCD 1440 x 900
* 1 GB RAM
* 120-GB HDD
* 6x double-layer SuperDrive
* ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 128 MB SDRAM
Now there's plenty I can upgrade in the Apple Store. I wondered if anyone has any recommendations, like more RAM or so.
I will be using it for:
- mobile audio recording (so an external drive is mandatory already) any recommendations there would also be nice. Should I go eSATA?
- making notes during class.
- surfing and mailing.
- some video editing.
A guy in my class works at the Apple Store and told me that the HDD on the Pro is as fast as any 7200rpm desktop HDD. I have a hard time believing that. What do you think of that?
