Well, mostly for school stuff. I'm applying to a PA program that wants you to come in with a Mac laptop, plus we already have so many Macs in the family, it means I have easy access to software etc.
So mostly, it's schoolwork, DVDs (programs and entertainment), some music stuff, etc... I'm going for the upper end of things because I want it to last me a loooooong time. I won't be able to buy any kind of new computer for at least 5 years after this. So I figure the faster the processor and the bigger/better RAM will last me longer.
No?
And Charlatan - yeah, they really are Very Pretty. Plus, if you're really using them for their full range of graphics and editing type stuff in the entertainment world, it's the only way to go.
