Hey all,
So I've been in the market for a macbook pro for a little while now and my plan has been to sell my iMac and buy a macbook pro.
Then I found a guy with a macbook who needed an iMac and we started talking and now we think we might just do a swap straight up.
I think the machines are pretty similar and it's a good deal but I figured I'd run it by some people on here who have much greater understanding of these awesome machines then myself.
My iMac (bought in summer of 2009)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.66 24-Inch (Early 2009) Specs (Early 2009, MB418LL/A, iMac9,1, A1225, 2267) @ EveryMac.com
His macbook pro (bought 10 months ago)
MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" Mid-2010 Specs (Mid-2010 13", MC374LL/A, MacBookPro7,1, A1278, 2351*) @ EveryMac.com
Do you guys think this is a good fair trade?
The only real difference I can see is bit or processing power and L2 cache (not sure what that is) as well as the different video cards.
I would like to do a little video editing on the macbook pro as well, I have FCP would it run smoothly on this machine?
Thanks so much for any advice and help.
I want to make this swap but don't want to shoot myself in the foot.
