- 2010 MBP 13" <3
Hi,
I've had a 13" MacBook pro for three months now and I really like it, although the new MBP has just come out and I'm already thinking of taking the newer version! I cant make up my mind, so I thought I'd drop a quick post on here with the pros and cons so you lot could make my mind up for me, here are the key deciding points:
2011
i5 CPU (awesome!)
Intel 3000 graphics (not really an upgrade)
PC1333 RAM (minor upgrade)
ThunderBolt (not sure if I would use it or not)
320GB HDD (70 more than I have now, wouldn't use it)
3 hours LESS battery life (sucks)
So I could go out and buy the new one, and lose out on at least £200 of value on my current one, or I could go out and get some new RAM and an SSD for my current one... decisions decisions!
Also has anyone seen any benchmarks online for the Intel 3000 HD graphics chip? I'd like to know how it performs against the 320m
cheers!
Matt
