Class 2 Apple Educational Store MacBook Pro Configuration

The Second Configuration of the MacBook Pro which I Considered  upgraded the CPU to a 2.2 GHz I 7 and doubled the memory to 8 GB.  The hard Drive options on this model were to increase the size by 50 % to 750 GB or the drive speed from 5400 rpm to 7200 rpm.  I chose the increased drive speed.  The graphics Card on this model is upgraded to 1 GB of memory. I will leverage the availability of MS Office 2010 through Boston College. This system also includes an upgraded multifunction printer.  The price of this configuration is $2915 before a friends and family discount and $100 printer rebate.  In addition I will receive a $100 credit toward either I-tunes or apps from the Apple Store.  Overall I believe this computer with be the best deal and provide the ability to run intensive applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Arc GIS in a dual boot environment running both Windows 7 and Mac OS.
