Hi Guy's,
I just had to join this forum as it's the only one talking about what I want to know.
My question is:
I have a 2.4 Mac Book Pro from last November with a 160gb HDD. I use it for the normal stuff, browsing the web via WiFi and play around with 3d animation (well I plan to someday) but in no way a professional manner. I also encode the odd film.
Having owned it for a year I hate the keyboard, the heat and the battery life is a bit crap.
SO, I plan on buying the new Mac Book Pro, I have decided on the 2.53, 7200rpm 320GB HDD which I will install Windows XP onto to play games like Crysis, I like FPS games.
I want to know if the 2.53 is the right choice over the 2.8 considering I'm after cooler running and better battery life, looking on this forum there are threads saying the 2.8 will run hotter and use the battery more. I like the idea of that extra oomph but will hate it if the battery dies faster and it heats up more.
Thanks guy's. My first thread
