[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 879783, member: 56379"] My vote is for the older MacBook Pro. You get a larger screen & those discrete graphics cards are nice. Honestly (just my humble opinion), although the 13" laptops Apple sells are very very capable computers...they really are the "low end" of the laptop line-up...meant for your average consumer computer user. When you start bumping up to the 15" & 17" laptop models...not only do you get a bigger screen...but you get more capabilities that a more demanding computer user may want. Not everybody needs the extras or extra computing power...but look at it this way...the more computer you buy today...the longer it will be a useful computer for you. Remember with laptops, except for ram & hard drives...they are usually not very upgradable. So buy as much computer as you can now. Of course if you like the smaller size of the 13", and the extra $200 is hard to afford...then get the newer 13" MacBook Pro. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
