Hi KKW,
if ur budget is around RM7k..
then I suggest u go buy a high-end spec MBP 15"
since the core i7 perform very smooth..
I tried with my customer before >.<
it's really nice..

MBP 15" hav i7 but MBP 17" doesn't hav..
but if u wan 17" with i7 u need to upgrade with additional RM653
anf of coz.. 17" resolution is much better than 15"
but u must think about the weight..
for normally use for travel 15" shld b better..
17" hm...... quite heavy @@

Maybe you can go to the apple retailers shop there and get a feel and look at the real thing before deciding either 15" or 17" that way you can make better judgement =D

Since weight is not a problem then go ahead for 17" and upgrade it to core i7... You will love the screen =D

the tablet is 4 x 6 inch.. how u resize also is 4 x 6 inch but u can assign to use the tablet only on certain part of the screen if not mistaken..
can upgrade..
go for 17inch then
correct..

if money is not a problem and u do a lot of graphic processing and multitasking.. i believe go for 8GB will be better

u can add it later.. as long as before ur first year warranty ends.. but u so rich.. add now and add later no diff    

Not necessary to add the 8GB now unless you use alot of those memory hungry applications while doing alot of multitasking.. If multitasking on those lower memory consumption 4GB is more than enough...

Yea should add the ACPP later.. But do put a reminder at the almost end of the year to buy it.. Most ppl ended up forgotten and thus have to pay whole load of cash for servicing etc... =D

If im not mistaken yea.. they do support windows 64bit.. Im planning to do a dual boot with my windows 7 64 bit OS =D

RAM upgrades are very expensive... So if you dont think you will utilize it all, dont upgrade them =D

haha.. Nvm take your time... =D Have to make a right choice as this is an expensive decision.. =D

i dunno can or not.. i read somewhere that if install tru parallel.. then 64 bit cannot.. i dunno true or not.. wait for ppl to clarify..
after u try.. pls let me know.. if not mistaken.. bootcamp can support 64 bit.. but parallel i think cannot..

yea.. RAM expensive.. but if upgrade by our self then cheaper..

Parallel software and VMWare that you can use to open Mac Os together with Windows OS together.... You can check further detail from the link below

Oh no... Dont do that.. haha.. I remember a few days back someone did install a fresh new windows OS and formated the Mac OS and couldn revert back or something like that... So dont do it.. =P

lol.. i tot u really wanna do that.. if u want to have full windows feel..  i think boot camp is the best option for u..

Windows thru bootcamp = can x64
Windows thru Parallels/VMware = can't. Only x32 (tried myself with Parallels with Windows 7)
