So, I think im going to buy the newest 2011 13" MBP today, but my friend is overing to trade his mid-2009 2.8 C2D MBP for it because he wants a 13".

Do you think the trade is worth it? The extra space would be really nice. Would you do it and which benchmarks faster? Which is better on paper? Thanks!!
 
If he wants to trade, ask for the computer and $250. The new 13" is considerably faster in benchmarks, has a pretty comparable GPU, better battery, etc. I'd just buy what you want and keep it
 
thanks for the input guys!

i currently have the late-2009 unibody white macbook, would it be worth it to buy the new 2011 13" MBP? I'm just trying to see my options
 
No way! Your friend should not be trying to take advantage. Buy the 13 and let him/her get their own. :D
 
would you guys upgrade from the late 2009 whitemacbook?
 
Yes I would upgrade. I had the 13 inch for a week...brought it back for the 15 only because I needed a better graphics card. It is a fast little computer and I much prefered it over the 15 I have now, because of how lightweight it was. Buy somewhere with a good return policy if you aren't sure. Best Buy or some place like that. They gave me two weeks to return it for a refund. Good luck, whatever you decide. Keep us posted. :)
 
Dont buy a core 2 duo in 2011. Thats plain silly!

Get the 2011 MBP
