Hi folks,
I've tried to find this answer all over but keep getting confused.
I bought my daughter an 18 month old Macbook Aluminum (MB466) nine months ago. My other daughter has a 2007 release Macbook Pro 15".
The display on the 2007 15" is much brighter and forgiving of viewing angle than the 2008 release Macbook Aluminum.
It bothers me so much I have advised my daughter to sell the Macbook Aluminum and I will buy her a 2009 Macbook Pro to replace it... I know the 2009 Macbook Pro (MB 990 LL) is basically the same maching with a little better memory, and some additional Pro-like ports. The problem is, I cannot find out if the display on the MB 990 LL is the same as the display I don't like on the MB 466 LL.
Can anyone clarify this for me? All websites seem to indicate they're (and newer) backlit LED displays. Some include the phrase TFT Active Matrix, while others do not include that phrase.
Oh, the laptop is used strictly for internet browsing, song storage, and video chatting with her friends. She has no power hogging applications and no graphics intensive applications.
Oh, also, am I correct in assuming there are no regular Macbooks (non-Pro) that have the aluminum outside casing? I had thought about maybe a new or 1 year old Macbook but they just don't have the same look.
Thanks.
