Have a first-generation MBP - Just ordered the latest one - Difference?

I don't want to get my hopes up that this new one will be perfect but I'm guessing it'll be a lot better. C2D, LED hi-res screen, 2.6GHz instead of 2.16, 200 gigs of storage, 4gb of RAM instead of 2. Has anyone here upgraded in the same fashion and how different, realistically, was it?

You'll notice some speed but thats 'bout it. Sweet machine though!

You're notice the better battery life as well.

You'll notice that it will be a bit cooler too.

AND you will have to fend off the ladies with a stick....

Does the stick come with it? I can't see it in the Apple store.

please share your experience once you get your new one.
I currently have the first generation MBP, and thinking of the same upgrade.

There's a HUGE difference in:

1) *Speed*
2) *Heat*
3) *Screen quality* (led screen)

Minor difference in:
1) Battery life (maybe 45 min to 1hr and 20 min more battery life).
2) Multitouch trackpad 3 finger swipe is awesome!

You're also be really pissed the next time someone bumps or hits your computer a teeny bit.
