I currently own a 2.33 ghz 17" macbook pro, and I am saving up for a new 15". As I'm getting closer to reaching the right amount of money, I'm having trouble deciding what to do. The pro i have now is used extensively, and with money being a factor, I need to decide which 15" to get. Should i buy the 2.53 ghz with a 500 gb 7200 rpm HD, or the 2.66 ghz standard? please help!!!
Got a tip for us?

Thanks for telling us anything about what you use your computer for in order to help you decide. Why do you think you need a new one in the first place?
i use it for school and music recording mainly. i need a new one for many reasons. one, the 0,left,right, and down keys don't work cause of a sibling spilling on it. Also, the hinges on the moniter have snapped, leaving it held together by metal tape, and it would cost 650 to fix. i need a new one
Yikes, sounds like you beat it up pretty well. I'd probably just go for the cheapest model unless your school/music recording demands lots of processor.
