- Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
Hey guys and gals,
I just got the MBP 2.4GHz i5 and I must say it's a rip roarer!
Display
I went for the standard resolution display.
After spending some time comparing side by side, the high resolution Vs the standard resolution, I could see that I would need a magnifying glass to use the high resolution display, and I didn't want to have to sacrifice image quality to enlarge the text and images, or use 3rd party software to tweak it. This would have defeated the purpose of having the high resolution display in my humble opinion.
The display on this baby is nothing short of brilliant.
Crisp, clear, vibrant, and alive
Performance
Have only good things to say about it!
Fast, quiet, great battery life, and running temp is cool.
Rating out of 10
9.5/10
Where it loses .5 is that you can't control the sensitivity of the trackpad tapping, but that may come up in an update
For anyone considering one, I would highly recommend it, and if you are thinking about spending that extra money to get the 15" i7, this is certainly worth a look at.
YouTube - 2.4 GHz Core i5 or Core i7 2.66 GHz MacBook Pro? i5 vs i7 Benchmarks & Which one you should get!
