Max out the RAM when you buy it because you cannot upgrade it after-the-fact because it is soldered to the motherboard (unlike the MacBook Pro, or most other laptops). I had a choice between an Intel i5 or i7 when I bought mine, but I feel the i7 was a waste because the laptop overheats when doing anything CPU-intensive like encoding video, so the extra CPU grunt is not worth it in my opinion. But then again, you can't upgrade after-the-fact, so if you can afford the optional extra, go for it. Put it this way: I don't regret spending the extra money on the i7 even though I don't need it. But I do massively regret not spending the extra money on the RAM because now it is too late. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
