Dear Daniel and
Dear Daniel and good WAMUG friends
So:
Aperture Edu 3 -$299.00
2.3 GHz upgrade +$270.00
Aperture 3 from MacStore +$99.99
That means it costs me $70.99 to get the 2.3GHZ upgrade with a MacStore
purchase of Aperture 3.
Interesting Maths. I'm tempted.
Thank goodness for the genii of WAMUG

Thank you all for this.

To put briefly, if browsing, email, a bit of text editing and maybe
spreadsheets is the usage then there is no need for the fastest.
If your work involves multimedia editing, e.g. Aperture, Final Cut Pro,
Photoshop, iMovie, etc. then there is a benefit to be gained from additional

Hi Peta,
I would imagine because of my reply further down in this email.
If you are heavy user in Photoshop and Final Cut Pro, I would suggest the

The 2.3GHz CPU has a larger L3 cache (8MB vs 6MB.) The increase in cache is

If you're going to use Aperture perhaps you should reconsider not going for the
fast processor and the extra cache?

Yes, it makes you wonder why Apple have bothered continuing with the box
products. They still sell them on the Apple store. I think the long term aim
is clear. From a resellers perspective it's another erosion of revenue, but
we all have to adapt. It's all going to be only online someday. What wil
Hi Reg
As much as I hate to not give sales to stores, if you are looking at
Aperture it's actually cheaper to download it from the MacStore if you're
not worried about not getting a disk and little manual.
It's $249 in the shops, $229 on the education store and $99.99 to download

to go for the standard 2.2GHz / 750 Gb HDD with standard glossy display and 8Gb

depend on what you use the MBP for.

But relative to the question...
Antiglare is relative to environments and use. I prefer antiglare but the
glossy has been fine and provides richer colour. I¹m bemused that it costs
extra when glossy¹ used to be a no-cost option, however apparently glossy
are cheaper to make.

Hi all WAMUGgers
Long time since I asked a question. I'm thinking of buying a new MacBook Pro
15".
Is the 2.3GHz i7 option worth the extra dollars over the 2.2?
What are experiences with glossy v anti-glare displays?
Any other tips?
Will buy ed price and plan to salary sacrifice.
