[QUOTE="geoff15, post: 748056, member: 72099"] [b]Mbp[/b] This is exactly the decision I'm having trouble making. I can find the early-2008 MBP for only a couple hundred dollars more than the 2Ghz new MB. The new Macbooks seem like a huge rip-off to me; Apple raised the price of the entry-level and the only substantial performance improvement is in an integrated Nvidia chipset. The old MBP has a better video card, bigger, matte screen, faster processor, etc. It is the better machine, [I]but it's not the newest design.[/I] Even if you don't use firewire and don't care about glossy screens, the new MB is still not as powerful as the old MBP. Please disagree with me; it may be better but $1500 is still a lot of cash. [/QUOTE]
