Well today I went to the Apple Store with the intention of getting the new 15" MBP with the 2.8 CPU. It was a very nice machine but quite large and everythime I picked it up and tilted it forward the screen would close like a clam shell. The price of $2299.00 or $2099.00 with the student discount was great but I am not sure all the money was worth it, so I have decided to do this.
Keep my early 2009 uMB 2.4 with 4GB ram and upgrade the HDD to 500 GB which I just picked up a Seagate 500 7200 rpm, with 16MB cache for $119.00
I thought I was going to get the 15 bc of the Discrete graphics but I am not impressed with the flimsy screen, and size so I am sticking with my Old (well 7 months old) trusty 13 uMB 2.4 it is the size I like adn everything works well even COD 4 on a Windows XP partition, so why spend more $ when I have what I really need
Has anyone decided not to upgrade and are you really happy with your late 2008 or early 2009 uMB and why, just curious bc I really like mine, I only have to purchase Applecare now so after February I will have 2 more years of warranty...
