How much of a difference are we talking here in these 2 models??

I really want the maxxed out big boy... The 17" 2.33 w/ 3 gigs of ram. But we know this goes for $3000

On the other hand I can get a 15" 2.16 w/2 gigs of ram... But it's the regular core duo. It also has applecare already. My friend will sell it to me for $1750...

So now we are talking almost double the price.

What do you guys think? Is the difference in these 2 models HUGE?

Is the difference worth $1250 for me.

I tend to think not, but of course I am a gearslut, so i think with my slutty mind.

Let me know what you guys think
