I have a friend/family Apple discount that only applies to last previous generation of Macbooks. I am looking to buy a new machine and trying to decide if the discount is as good as I had hoped for. The discount on the last generation makes the price of the old MBP and the new Macbook Aluminum about the same. I can buy a MBP 15" 2.4 GHZ for $1299 + tax ($1406) or I can buy a new Macbook unibody 2.0 GHZ for the same amount. I would appreciate some input for the users of both here. I am not a power user but I will be using the notebook for consulting overseas so image is important as is portability etc. Thanks all.
