Hi,

I have been considering buying the new Macbook Pro as I will be using it for midi and audio recording on Logic Pro 8 but I am a bit disappointed that Apple have downgraded the L2 cache from 4mb to 3mb:|

Is there any reduction in performance on the new Macbook Pro compared with the old model which had 4mb L2 cache?

I have also considered buying a refurbished Macbook Pro from the Apple store website. I would save £200 doing this rather than buying new. Would anyone recommend this?

Cheers

no the new pro is faster than the old one despite the slight reduction in cache
