Hi guys,
I live in the UK and am torn between spending £1300 on the June 2009 15" 2.53GHz MBP, or getting an Oct 2008 15" 2.4GHz MBP for only £1000?
I will be doing 'some' photoshop work (hobby) and music creation (hobby again) the rest will be for everyday tasks including internet and perhaps the occasional game, but nothing too heavy as have a PS3 for that.
For what im using it for, would I notice the difference with the native GT card in the 2008 model, compared to the intagrated one of the June 09 low end model?
I realise the RAM is only 2GB on the older model and will upgrade that myself straight away - I think this one is DDR3 as well if im not mistaken?
Is there any reason at all anyone can think of why I should get the newer version?
Also, the way I see it, given the fact the slightly older model has a better graphics, can make it the same RAM and has a removable battery, the only real difference is the .13 difference in processor power and im guessing that wont make much difference - if any?
Im sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread that compared these 2 models specifically.
Thanks
Andy
