My friend is planning to buy a mac next week, and these are the two options he has.
1) 2008 Aluminum MacBook
2.4ghz
250gb hard drive
comes with illuminated keyboard, etc...
4 hour battery, removable
$1,149
2) 2009 Aluminum MacBook Pro
2.26ghz
160gb hard drive
comes with illuminated keyboard, etc...
7 hour battery, not removable
sd card slot, firewire
$1,155
I told him to go with option A since he doesn't use firewire & the sd card slot. He's going to be using it for basic student word processing, etc. One thing he needs for one of his classes is to run windows for a specific program so he's going to be using vm ware or parallels.
What do you guys think?
