    Don’t think there is an issue. Just make sure that if you need to buy RAM, get some. It made a difference on mine. Increased it fro 4 GB to 8 GB and it was best thing for the laptop. Runs like a champ, especially with HD.

    Thanks for replying – the newer models are so much lighter to haul around – looks like I’ll be investing soon!

    With the Pros you can upgrade to 16GB of RAM if you purchase it 3rd party – and for a rather reasonable rate. This is assuming you don’t get the new high-res version that has the RAM soldered onto the logic board. Look into “16gb Macbook Pro” on Google if interested.

    Do buy a Pro, and not an Air… I’m amazed how fast the new i7 MBP’s are… very fast machines for laptops…
