The one I was looking at was the older model with the all white and the plastic casing, because I saw they were on sale at Microcenter for $850 with tax compared the $999.99 price tag I've seen almost everywhere else. I was also looking at the newer aluminum models but those are a bit more expensive. So I'm wondering which one I should go with, the newer ones look more appealing but is there really much more different in them hardware wise than the older model, or is most of the difference aesthetic? I won't be doing a whole lot with it (School work, some photo editing, music, browsing, etc) so would I even need the extra specs of the new one?And sorry if this post is too vague or this is in the wrong section, I'm pretty new to this. Thanks.</blockquote>
