:apple: Ok so Im thinking about getting a MBP and I was wondering if I should get the 200 gig or the 160 gig harddrive. i want storage but I also want performance.

Does anyone have either one and could tell me if you can see a difference in either one? like performance wise. or should I wait till they have a faster 200 gig?

I wana get the 2.33 with 2 gigs of ram and a glossy screen. :) Iv got a powerbook and its way to freekin slow.

Do you need the extra 40GB, or could you get an external hard drive to keep some of the data on? If you have to have all of it on the MBP and it's over 160GB, then go with the 200GB one, but if you can use a 160GB and keep some of the data on an external hard drive, get the 160GB.
