Do you guys think the 13 in. MBP is even worth it at this time? Considering that it has a C2D processor at this time, I am not sure if it is worth it. Do you guys think any kind of change will happen to the 13 in MBP soon 😕
I'm asking because I am deciding whether to get a free 21.5 in iMac or 13 in MBP from this one site (Lockerz). You guys could also say which is better between those two 😛
 
Isn't the 21.5 in iMac kind of underpowered at the moment because of its GPU, which is behind the 13 in MBP's?

That depends on the use of the GPU. Not everyone who buys computers will use the GPU to its fullest potential, not even to a tenth of its potential.

But spec wise, the 9400M is "inferior" to the 320M.

Use MRoogle to find dozens of dozens of threads about comparison and decision threads.

Btw, I have the 9400M and 9600M in my MBP, and the 9400M is quite sufficient for most tasks, like video editing in Avid or working in Photoshop on the road. Compositing demands the 9600M though.
