- Macbook Pro (Early 2008) 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, NVidia 8600 GT 512 MB Video RAM, 250 GB HDD
Amazon has the last generation macbook pro for $1649. Thats around what the new unibody Macbook (2.4Ghz) will cost me.
I'm leaning towards the Early 2008 Macbook Pro right now. Any reasons why I should/shouldn't get it will be appreciated.
Pros:
* Larger screen and resolution. Matte screen.
* Cheaper aftermarket RAM ($21 on crucial.com)
* Discrete Graphics
* DVI output (DVI-VGA cable included)
Cons:
* Unibody design is better (but the old design is really classy too)
* No iLife09 (will probably get this in the new box set format when Snow Leopard comes out)
* DDR2 memory
* Older Processor
