Well, if you're uncle is hooking it up, id personally get the 15" i7 version with upgraded ram, maybe if you want 17" do that, but they'll all work great and will work for years.

I would also suggest the i7. I wouldn't recommend a 17 inch if you travel and take it to class. Can sometimes get a little tiresome.

I would also get the 15" with the i7. I have a nice 22" Gateway monitor paired up with my MBP 15" for desktop use and couldn't be happier

15" is the way to go. 17 is nice for movies at home, but bringing it places sucks.

17" is great because it has a 1080p monitor and eSata Xpress slot. If neither of those things are a necessity, then you might as well get a 15" because 17" is obnoxiously large if you're mobile.
