- MacBook Pro (early 2011) 2,2 i7, 4 GB RAM, 750 GB HDD, 1 GB ATI 6750M, High-Res AntiGlare Screen
Hi'yall!
I've had my lovely new MBP for a couple of months now with Lion
I upgraded from my 2007 MacBook with SL.
And...
I'm noticing a great performance difference - in the MacBooks favour
What is up with that?
Lemme list the spec difference quickly:
MacBook Pro VS my ancient MacBook
2,2 ghz i7 vs 2,16 C2D
4 GB RAM vs 3 GB RAM
1 GB graphics vs almost non-existing graphics
750 GB HDD vs 120 GB HDD
Im noticing that the MacBook boots and shuts down a lot faster, and for instance opening PDF's and images in preview is almost instant - same with system apps. But on the MBP - opening things in preview - takes forever, and we're talking 3-6 seconds (both being freshly booted - ie nothing in RAM )
How can this be?
When i got the MBP i restored it from the MacBooks time machine - and when I thought that that was a bad thing, I formatted the MBP and transferred everything manually...
Can someone please enlighten me on this?
Its driving me insane that i spent over 18000 DKK on this lovely and sexy machine
