I'm guessing you want to purchase one? The new chipsets offer much better performance than the outgoing models. 90% of the population would be able to get by and more on an i5. What will you be using it for? how long do you plan on keeping this new computer? 15" or 17"?

is there a specific function you want when making CDs, because iTunes and OSX itself both have disc burning utilities. Roxio Toast is a good alternative as well. For custom icons and docks, Candybar and/or Dockulicious work well.

cheaper isnt always better, but Patriot and Crucial have good builds that typically run under market price. Check newegg and Fry's

MacTheRipper should give you the option to split the disc into its chapters and it can burn episodes individually. You can use Handbrake to convert them into .avi, or whatever output format you might prefer.

i'm looking in to doing HD video editing (final cut pro), photoshop, photography (ap3) type of work. And usual surfing, excel, word stuff.

15"
either i7 or i5
*hi-res anit-glare
*upgrade to 512gb hhd 7200 or 128gb ssd (not big enough, and $$ for more gb) ssd upgrade might not be worth it right now
everything else stock

student discount or Sweetwater 3 day payment plan

the i5 could handle that and not even flex. i'd opt for the 7200 RPM drive though. It's only a $50 difference. Or, buy your own hard drive and max it out to 640GB internal with 7200 RPMs.
 
Has anyone else had issues with using their Macbook's isight camera for tinychat? For some reason it won't work but for every other videocam application.

if you have an Airport Express, you can use a built in utility called Airtunes. Or, try Airfoil.
