[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1187039, member: 92466"] You'll probably get more bang for your buck out of an iMac. To save a few more bucks, you can look in the refurbished section of Apple's online store. The move to 7200RPM drive with larger storage (thus allowing more free disk space) may be slightly noticeable. Depends on the machine and the tasks you're performing. I went from a 200GB 5400 to a 500GB 7200 and definitely noticed the difference on my MBP. FWIW, This isn't a "Law" or anything, but [I]generally speaking,[/I] reinstalling your Mac OS is not necessary unless you encounter a specific problem that requires you to do so. [/QUOTE]
