Hi there,



so in about a weeks time i shall finally have enough money for a new mbp .. i've found three solutions which potentially fit me but would like to ask the people here with more knowledge than myself for a few tips ...



so my three options are:



1. The most expensive stock 15" mbp but with a 256gb ssd and keeping the 2.66ghz i7 and 4gb ram



2. Again the most expensive stock 15" mbp but with the 2.8ghz i7, 8gb ram and the 500gb 7200rpm hdd



3. The most expensive stock 15" with the 2.66ghz i7, 8gb ram and a 128gb ssd



I will mostly use the laptop for itunes/iphoto but will also want to use bootcamp and windows 7 for some light gaming thus the 128gb ssd is not ideal.



So i would like to know which option people think would be best for me? One small addition is that i would not like to have to make any changes to the hardware myself so adding some third party cheaper ram etc is kinda out the picture.



Many Thanks for any help provided

    I'd wait to see wat this apple data center does

    iTunes movies and iPhoto takes up lots of space

    I had to upgrade my mb hd to a new 500g from owc to handle

    my growing movie library since apple tv won't stream from a

    Hard drive

    If the data center allows you to stream iTunes that would

    Save your hd space
