Just got a 15" MBP, 8GB memory, 500GB 7200 RPM disk, with a Thunderbolt display. What a nice setup. I'm upgrading from a 2007 MBP that died, and the new machine is so much faster. I would have preferred a redesign without the optical drive but that's a minor complaint.
- mgkimsal 15y agosimilar here - had a 2008 white mbp. got a 15" refurb this summer that was a early 2011 revamp - came with the bumped up gfx chip (which is now standard) and also came with 8gig, even though the store site said 4gig. :) Would like to get an SSD but don't really want to spring for a 512 gig one, and 256 ones aren't quite enough space for me.

Thankfully there are ways you can install an extra HD drive bay in your MBP replacing the optical drive. But most people believe that the big redesign next year will not only include Ivy Bridge and a new form factor but also the removal of the optical drive.
- andreiursan 15y ago"also the removal of the optical drive" That will make me very, very,...very happy! I hate the idea that I have a thing in my Mac that I don't use and adds extra weight and complexity to the design :|. That will be my main reason to upgrade my 2010 15" hi-res anti-glare Macbook Pro. (I'm sticking with the Pro line because it has a 15" screen, bellow that I don't like).
- icefox 15y agoThere is a kit so you can pull out my optical drive, put it in an external usb enclosure and put in another HD in your macbook pro.
