I am trying to get an idea of various types of Macbook available to buy.
From my googling, I did find a few wiki sites that assist in identifying the different between various year/make/model of macbook.
I am trying to find a cost effective macbook to learn how to write iPhone/iPad apps.
I am trying to compare early 2009 2.0ghz macbook vs. a early 2008 2.4 ghz macbook.
I see the difference between the graphics cards 2008 (intel) and 2009 (nvidia) and have read the speed differences.
I suppose Graphics is not a big concern given that I am going to mainly use the macbook to code. Which one would you recommend if the prices were the same.
I am leaning towards the 2009, because it is nearly mint condition (it was a refurb logic board replaced unit) ,and it is newer. The 2008 is certainly faster, but probably more drain to the battery life.
Any opinion on this subject matter will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
