Default Re: Buying a Macbook? Pro or no?

Yeah I'm not much into the building the computer thing. I've never built a computer but I am booksmart about it.

Anyway back on topic, I need someone to compare the % difference between the following. Meaning I want to know how much difference it would make. The price from $1800 to a $2300 ($500 jump) is this:

p.s. what is glossy vs nonglossy laptop?

Please note that I'm just a college student working at $8 an hour so yeah, is it worth the $500 jump? If i were to buy those parts separately, will it add up to that $500 mark?
