Deal or No Deal?: MBP 17in 2.5 $1600

[the_nole]

A friend of mine is selling brand new MBP, anti glare screen, not unibody.

Deal?

depends on what you need it for

photoshop 90%, maybe video editing down the line

Well its not brand new but its a good deal. A new model just came out 2 months ago and thats the old one he's selling.

Old:

New:

He's probably selling it because he's realised he bought the old one by accident and now wants the new one.

fwiw
you can get the
17" Hi-Resolution
2.6ghz Core2Duo
8800GT (512mb)
250gb HDD (7200rpm)
for $1999

I hear the screen is wonderful
not sure if the screen + CPU bump + extra VRAM is worth the extra bones though ...... this computer was $3000 or so a few months ago
