    Macbook Pro specs help

    Going to buy a macbook pro when I get the money.

    I'm a web designer / coder, so, I don't play a lot of games. I heard that macbook pro is good for web designing its very comfortable. But i don't really know much about the specs or how much of a difference it makes.

    Getting the 15"

    Specs:

    Processor
    # 2.66GHz Intel Core i7
    # 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 [Add $200.00]

    Memory
    # 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
    # 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB [Add $400.00]

    Hard Drive
    # 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
    # 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm [Add $50.00]
    # 128GB Solid State Drive [Add $200.00]
    # 256GB Solid State Drive [Add $650.00]
    # 512GB Solid State Drive [Add $1,300.00]

    Display
    # MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display
    # MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display [Add $100.00]
    # MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display [Add $150.00]

    For the Hard Drive I heard getting a Solid State Drive is so much better than Serial ATA Drive and it's worth it 100%, so I was gonna get that. 128GB SSD and 512GB SSD doesn't really matter much except right, except how much GB it can hold? Does it affect the speed? Cause paying an extra $1,100 for extra 400GB is absurd.

    Can you guys help me in choose the cheapest price with the best specs and features..

    Thanks

    /if you maximize all the specs pls give a reason Q_Q

    That's what i'd choose. An SSD is useless unless it's being used for CAD or gaming, and since you're not doing either of them, you have no need for one. Additionally, they don't specify which SSD they are going to be using, which is very important.

    Thanks I will definitely consider choosing those options and I researched a lot about the SSD, I heard that they use Samsung SSD, if that helps at all.
