[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 956039, member: 24160"] Mac2Sell for his MBP - $1250-1300 (Mac2Sell does not have the 2.6 as an available selection, only the next version which was a 2.66) Mac2Sell for your MB - $900 You're gaining FW, the 8600M with 512MB and more screen real estate. Doubt you'll notice much of any difference between the 2 systems except for 3D gameplay. I'd verify he's got the 2.6 as that chip was only available as an upgrade option from the 2.5 to the top of the line 15" at a price of $250. If that 320 GB drive you have is the 7200 RPM, your MB will probably have a quicker feel in general use than that MBP with the stock 5400 drive. Personally, would not advise to trade the new MB for the older MBP. While it is still a fine machine, have to agree with walkerj. If you need to do this, sell yours, add the $500 and get a new one complete with new warranty. If you were looking for a gaming machine, then ... maybe ... for $350-400. [/QUOTE]
