Wow! I thank all responders for their expertise, suggestions, and the story about the IT department. That story helped in pushing harder to stay, for now, with MBP.
I did research regarding custom crafted PC notebooks. Nearly every notebook configuration is less expensive than what I finally ordered. This is what I did order.
$2,099.99 free shipping
17" MacBook Pro quad-core Intel Core i7 2.3GHz, 4GB RAM, 750GB 5400-rpm Hard Drive, Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6750M, Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display (Blowout Model - Installed w/ Mac OS X Lion)
Mftr Part No : MD036LL/A
No longer available from Apple. But available from a few other retailers. This is from MacMall.
Sure, in 2013, Mac may offer the 17 inch display in the MBP. Will Apple bring back the optical drive? And what about all the connection ports I currently use, and are
still available with custom crafted 17 in matte display PC. So? I placed my order to still be able to use my peripherals.
Edmund and others are correct, in my opinion, don't update. Several of us, have had printer issues when working OS's had been updated or even upgraded. You with Macs have already had this issue. Unless you have been using a RIP. I have recently been using Gutenprint, along with the Epson drivers. Gutenprint is my main driver. When LION shows up on this new notebook, I wonder what will happen with the Epson drivers?
In our early years with Windows 3 I got used to the PC and it's file system. Seems like the whole windows wa built like an upside down pyramid, on top of DOS. Don't know if it
still is. Is it? PC's were used for accounting, business issues, etc. My employees, knowledgeable in imaging suggested the Mac. Purchased the blue and white G3 with OS 8.6.
Those G3's are working somewhere, I guess. So are the G4 Audio's. And I still use my G5.
This is being typed on my MBP 4.1, 17 inch matte display. I am keeping it! If LION isn't compatible with my workflow, then Snow Leopard will go on the new MBP.
It's not to late to cancel the new MBP order. I don't know of any reason to.
Again, thank you all!
Cheers
