Hello!
I ordered the 2.0 MB a few days ago, but I started thinking of the 2.4 is worth the more money
. I live in Sweden so they charged me an amount equal to $1460 for the 2.0 + a be.ez case. If i were to call them and ask for the 2.4 instead they would add another $350 on that (the entry level MBP is $2210) this is all with a 10% student discount.
What I am really worried about is that the 2.0 will be worse then my late 07 whitebook I had before with the 2.2 Ghz santa rosa. I'd feel bad paying almost $1500 for the 2.0 and it being worse off CPU wise then my old computer.
What im mainly worried about is during some games and such, I do rarely do CPU intensive stuff otherwise. I compile a few scripts now and then for my programming things (which I do not care if it goes quicker though since when I compile many I just put it on before im eating and it takes 5 minutes max).
Although I do unrar alot I wouldn't think it's worth paying more to knock off a few seconds on this
What's important to me is that I do not like the computer being slow and such. And the game issue I allready stated.
PS The backlit keyboard is only a "cool factor" for me (pretty big one though), I wouldn't have any real use of it because my eyes get strained if im in a dark room at a computer, so I always keep my lamps on.
So, would I notice a big differences while playing games? Or should I rather upgrade to 4 Gb of memory later (costs $170) on the aftermarket. My experience tells me the memory will make a bigger difference, but what do you guys think? Any 2.0 owners who can game decent without problem.
What I think about here is that the Nvidia GPU takes a bit of load from the CPU in the old one, resulting in more CPU power availiable, am I wrong?
I watched the Gizmodo test of Spore and the MBP beat the MB even with the 9400m on, was this due to the MB being 2.4 and the MBP 2.53 or because the MB had 2 GB memory and the MBP 4 GB?
Please give me some more info
