Suggestion on Purchasing the New MacBook Pro
Hello-
I am wondering where I would be best to go if I wanted to purchase a new MBP. I understand the 15" MBP has recently been updated, but that the retina display is not available in this size yet. If I am wrong with this onformation would you please correct me and let me know when the MPB was last updated. I am also wanting to configure several hardware items like adding more RAM (I do not feel comfortable adding it myslef, even if it does not void the warranty), add the SS hard drive (I heard that the Apple Stores do not carry this drive), and hopefully I wil be allowed to add iLife, and if the MPB does not already have a dedicated graphics card/drive, I am curious to know if it is possible to make this change when configuring the MBP. Is the website the best place to go? I am in grad school, so I understand that I can put in the name of the school I go to and some machines will come up, but I am not even sure if the discount will apply to a configured machine.
Any feedback on the current MacBook Pro and even the current operating system & version would be appreciated.
