I’d like a site that let me spec out multiple Mac configurations (ie from the Apple Store) and compare them, price and feature-wise. Anyone?

Apple store: Need a “save this mac” option on the main config screen, not just on the compare screen.

Speccing out my first actual new Mac since 2006, a work laptop/dual screen setup. Thinking 13” MBP + 27” LED Cinema display. Thoughts?

new MacBookPro: HDD, SSD, or BIG SSD? /cc @mattgemmell @ethank

Steve Ivy

@ethank @mattgemmell I wondered if it was possible to replace Opt with HDD, but did not see that option on the MTO screens.

Steve Ivy

@ethank @mattgemmell or, the BTO screen. :-/

Steve Ivy

@ethank @mattgemmell Ethan, guessing you mean third-party optical-hdd-replacement?

~ # 22:32 ~

Steve Ivy

@ethank @mattgemmell thanks! I think i’m going to go 256 SSD for now, and replace the optical drive with an OWC kit later.
