Oh.. the SSD can be changed later too?
In this  case I will just get the i7 unit
btw whats the Lion (another SSD?)? How much it would cost?
Arrghh...
i5/i7 dont make much difference but how about 2.3 and 2.7GHz?

i5 i7 i5 i7  rclxub.gif

Does itunes, music blah blah cost a lot spaces?

Setting up WINDOE 7 take up how much spaces?

music depends on ur collection obviously.

win7 64-bit + bootcamp drivers is almost 15gb. so maybe just set aside 30gb? unless u want to install a lot of games lah. not sure about 32-bit

Hmm.. Besides boot up?  blush.gif
I'm in dilemma whether to spend the money to go for i7 or SSD  sad.gif
I actually never come across to set up window 7 just feel like other doing that too  doh.gif
even if i play games also i play HoN and SC2 maybe
Also iOS do not support xunlei right?

How much space does the iOS itself need?

in my opinion, yes i7 is faster than the i5, but u dont get to 'see' it a lot unless u always deal with processor-intensive tasks. just because the i5 is the cheapest model doesnt mean it's slow...judging from benchmarks it's just slightlyyy slower than the previous fastest MBP with the older i7. benefits of SSD is more 'appreciable' because anyone would open apps n files all the time

one is quad core one is dual core.. look properly not just the Ghz that matters
Long story short, go for i7, if not tonight you sure cannot sleep hahaha...

Lion is next mac os version 10.7.. now we're at 10.6.7
And yes SSD can be added later, like a hdd upgrade - BUT WAIT tongue.gif you go and check first, the price from apple store to upgrade normal HDD to the 128GB SSD, then you compare buying outside separately.

Then you might change your mind and get the SSD now  brows.gif  brows.gif  brows.gif

means buying outside more expensive?? ohmy.gif

What processor intensive tasks do u mean?
if HDD open may files and apps at the same time will cause freeze or something?

movie editing, 3d rendering, modeling n simulation software, those kind of stuff. that's where the i7 will shine, at other times u probably wont realize the difference compared to the i5. simply bcuz the i5 is pretty fast already

im not saying will freeze la. just have a look at youtube videos see how fast a SSD can boot, launch apps etc compared to a HDD. boot / launch apps are stuff any computer user do, and do it a lot. thats y i say the benefits are more appreciable. not every computer user to processor intensive tasks everyday

maybe it's like buying a merc C-class or an SLS. sure the SLS is faster, but since u drive in a city anyway, the extra speed doesnt really benefit u. what really benefits u everyday is the better fuel economy. just my opinion la of course. if u want to get the i7 anyway nothing wrong with that hehe

Do you want to sleep better at night? brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif go for i7 thumbup.gif

120gb SSD price - buying from outside.. eg.
corsair F120 - 769
mushkin e.c.dlx - 749
ocz vertex 2 - 749

13" i5 model - 320gb -> 128GB Solid State Drive [Add RM 763.00]
13" i7 model - 500gb -> 128GB Solid State Drive [Add RM 610.00]
15" 2.0ghz 500gb -> 128GB Solid State Drive [Add RM 611.00]
15" 2.2ghz 750gb -> 128GB Solid State Drive [Add RM 306.00]

okay ...maybe it doesn't seem so cheap since you're getting the 13" model lol..I'm assuming this since you said you have to choose between i5 and i7...

But yea you can get it later after all it seems tongue.gif (just be wary that when buying SSD make sure you research about enabling TRIM support) - its a long story ...!

So long as u can confirm the warranty is genuine, then it's fine...I got mine here in LYN too, and everything checks out OK...apart from pricing, everything is the same.
