So while the refurb MBP is on the apple site of 1699, I have a decision to make. I'm kinda on a tight budget, but with the new macs out today, I'm not sure what to do! I don't game at all, but I like to do photoshop work and light audio/video editing and do HD viewing.
new MB vs refurb MBP?
BLACKBOOK ($1399)
2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory
160GB hard drive
Double-layer SuperDrive
Intel X3100
MBP (1699)
2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB memory
120GB hard drive
8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 128MB of GDDR3 memory
Differences are 1gb RAM vs 2gb RAM. X3100 vs 8600M GT. 160gb hd vs 120. 13.3" vs 15" and 300 dollars.
So is the 2gb ram, 8600M GT, 15" and less hd space worth 300 extra dollars?
