2011/2012 MacBook Pro, which is batter?

WTF??? Perhaps you should read what I wrote again. Then learn some humour, and read it a second time. "Lower power" in said context obviously means lower power draw.

Please, don't pursue a career in comedy.

This is "batter":

As for which one is "better"... the 2012 will obviously be better. Question is whether the wait will be worth it. Just buy a MBP once you need one.

Generally speaking，every MacBook Pro which is after redesigned might has some bugs, I really don't want bugs （^_^）

Aw man! Steve just showed me the 2014 MBP. Dayam!

U better wait for that. LOLZ @ ne1 that buys a 2011.

One argument against waiting is that Apple seems to be trending toward making it harder to replace internal components of its systems -- no replaceable RAM in the new Airs, hard to replace hard drive in the new iMacs, only Apple SSDs get trim support in the new MBPs without some effort, etc.

No one outside Apple knows if the 2012 models will continue that trend.

The 2012 MBP models could have two thunderbolt ports (no other ports, just some dongles), no optical bay, 8GB non-replaceable RAM, and a choice of 256 or 512GB SSD sticks from Apple. Or not.

Buy 2011 MBP, if you absolutely need to have the new 2012 when it comes out, sell your '11 at a loss and get the '12.

This may have worked well the last 4 years, but I'll put money down that as soon as the MBP is redesigned, the secondhand market for Unibody's will drop like an absolute rock.

People may not know the difference when the processors/graphics get upgraded, but as soon as ALL the MBP lineup get's revamped to a slimmer, better looking, brand new design, no one is going to want the older one.

Again, assuming they are redesigned around March '12, which I believe they will.
