    I actually can efford any of MB's + 24"led display, but i want to make the correct decision. At the start of this post i'd say that i will not consider taking MBA as worst (performance wise) and MBP 17" as the biggest because i dont need that big laptop and will be taking it with me.

    Things i will do with my laptop:
    - alot of watching FullHD movies (50% on laptop, 50% with connected 24"Led)
    - Sometimes playing Counter Strike or WarCraft (not WOW)
    - internet, little video editing, office work
    -alot of downloading from internet

    Wont be taking it with me TOO much, but probably 1-2 time a week.

    PS: Do You think there is going to be any great upgrade of MBP next few month? If its not closer then 3 months i dont care, because ill be able to sell this laptop for about the same price for next 5-6 months (i live in Ukraine, but have ways to get it from US, where its ~1.5 times cheaper)

    Thank You

    I'd get the 15", IMO its the screen size that 'just feels right', and the dual cards are nice.

    I second the the 15" with the 9600m gt.

    Since you are already buying the 24" LED, I think the 17" would be redundant.

    Oh man. That is great. I wish I live in Ukraine because I'll not lose any money selling my Macs. :)

    Anyway, back to the topic. Like the previous posters above me, I also suggest that you go for a 15" MBP with the Nvidia 9600 GPU. :)
