Where to buy an Apple Macbook Pro?

I want a 17". I don't know the difference between Glossy or Matte, could someone explain. These laptops sparked my interest when I went into my school's Apple computer lab. I love the Mac instead of the Vista. Oh, and another question, what does the RAM have to do with the performance? Thanks!
