I'd be moving from a Core 2 Duo Santa Rosa notebook. I've had 4 GB of RAM and a 320 GB hard drive since 2007.

It sounds like a massive improvement for you though. :D

Ya, this update is not very beneficial for you, but for me it's godly!

A dual core processor?! 4 gigabytes of RAM?!?! MADNESS!!
 
I might switch back to a PC, get fed up, and buy a mac just so I can go through that orgasmic phase all over again.
 
I went to the Apple store today after school and I got my very first Mac, the 2.4 GHz, 250GB HD, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 320m graphics, 10 hour battery, 13" screen Macbook Pro.

I got the Education discount because my friends mom bought it for me (with my money), it is well worth the money. I am loving this computer, I have done HD movie editing, Photo editing, surfed the web, and made a DVD all at once and the battery is still 90% full, (the inertial scrolling is stunning) This computer is my dream computer, i could not see it any other way. The processor is new and fast, Much faster than my grandma's new 2.66 GHz Core i5 HP Windows desktop with 8 Gigs of RAM and WAY the heck faster than my 4 year old Compaq 1.73 Ghz Intel Celeron M in the laptop.

I have been reading the forums and have seen MAJOR criticism on this model of laptop, just due to the processor itself. Like how "it was the same processor in the old 15 inch macbook pro in 2007" Well i would like to tell those people that it is really different! back in 2007 (a long time right?) the 2.4 ghz processor in the Macbook pros cost up around $3000, with older non-snow leopard software.

Well Why so hesitant to buy?
It is a great computer, the unboxing will be in HD on YouTube shortly. while i typed this, i lost maybe 1% of battery...

Any questions on the model?
I would recommend this to anyone its a great piece of machinery!

I AM NOW AN OFFICIAL MAC!

I agree with you completely. Its my first Mac, and I'm more than overwhelmed with it.
 
Same here. Just bought mines yesterday morning from Microcenter. Batter seems a little flustered, maybe I messed up on the calibrating.
 
I almost went for the 13", but I decided to go with a 15 incher. I just needed the bigger screen for graphic/web design.

my friend, it seems that you don't know anything. how new and fast the processor is, how powerful the battery can be, i won't say that's bad. it is just that your level of satisfaction is low.
