So I'm computerless for the time being... and we got a sick new Asus in at work...
I'm so tempted to go back to the Darkside
But I can't
Just debating between the 13.3 inch 2.53 Pro or the 15 Inch for 200 more... I'd like a bigger screen, but hard to justify 200 more just for a slightlylarger screen

Do not do that, unless money is not a problem.
Go on Crucial.com and find your MBP and copy that URL, pull it up on one of Best Buy's computers and have them honor it. I had it done and then I installed the RAM myself, YouTube will help you install and you will need a #00 screwdriver if the 15" MBP is like the 13", because I had to buy a #00 from Amazon. I paid $80 for 2x2gb RAM when I should have paid about $180, I wasso hard when the mangers face looked
, right at me
If so

If soI need to check it out.
Yes...here is my receipt for proof.
http://www.crucial.com/st...mtbpoid=C83117F8A5CA7304
This is the link for my 2.4 GHz 15" MBP that is compatible with the DDR3 RAM.
That is a 2gbX1 so I just got two of those because there are 2 slots in my MBP and I replaced it.
Receipt
It worked for me
As you can see it says 'Match Competitor' and has the Crucial price on there

NT, I have a dilemma. I want to buy a laptop, preferably a macbook but i don't know if it's worth the money.
I've narrowed it down to two options:
1.) 13" Macbook Pro ~ upgraded to 320gb hd ~ $1560 w/ tax + shipping
http://store.apple.com/us_edu_18847/configure/Z0GL
2.) HP Pavilion dv7-2040us NoteBook Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000(2.00GHz) 17.3" 4GB Memory 500GB HD ~ $1200
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834147985
The HP is CLEARLY a better choice in terms of specs and price.
Tell me why I should still get the MBP.

Pretty much the pros have firewire and sd slot. If you don't need firewire and the spec bump isn't a big deal to you then yeah it's worth it.It's the unibody mac book right?
