I am currently a owner of a dell. I'm very interested in getting a Mac. I am trying to decide between the "new" MacBook Pro 13", or the model before it. After doing some research i found these pros and cons to getting the "new" one.
Pros:
-Display
-Lighter, smaller in size
-HDMI Port
-the keyboard is integrated and seems to feel better and be a bit smoother and easier to type on
Cons:
-Absence of Ethernet and Firewire ports
-No optical drive
-I read on a review that when viewing pictures on any browser but Safari that the pictures can lose quality. Also that the CPU was not strong enough to support the display 100%
I was leaning towards the older one because i can upgrade the CPU from an i5 to i7 for less than the new one with an i5. The keyboard is also holding me back.
Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!
