I'm about to go for the new MacBook Pro.

I've already decided to upgrade to 4GB of RAM.

The basic comes with:

160GB HD @ 5400rpm

options are:

160GB @7200 for $150
250GB @4200 for $150

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Don

use $150 to buy a large external drive. Live with the standard one.

If you must upgrade then go for the fast 160. The 250 is just too slow

Use a FireWire 800 external drive. I can't give any specific recommendation but look at Mac specific websites (macintouch.com, xlr8yourmac.com etc).
