Late 2011 17" MBP Quadcore 2.5ghz i7 (Glossy display) specs?

[vpro]

Does this site's specs for this machine make any sense:

http://www.equanet.co.uk/catalogue/...ters/Apple-Laptops/MD311B/A-APPLE033/APPLE033

What do they mean by:

MacBook Pro 17-inch: 2.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
Processor: 2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7

Typo?

Thanks, so ya I am in the market again for a 17" MBP this time a glossy quadcore 2.5ghz i7 for another of my nephews entering university, he wants glossy. So I'm gonna be on this quest for a long time I think.

Let me know if you find a NEW deal on one please?!

That just means the late 2011 model came (base) with a 2.4GHz Quad-core i7, or you could order the higher-end 2.5GHz i7.

One of the best deals I have found is MacMall. They are offering the 2.5GHz but it is the anti-glare widescreen for $2199. They offer the 2.4GHz in glossy at $1999. I would go with that, your nephew will not notice the .1GHz difference and it is worth saving $200. It will be brand new, unopened, with the full 1-year warranty.

Not sure if MacMall ships to Canada - OP profile stats he is from CA

Oh, good point! They don't ship to CA. Sorry about the useless reference OP.

not many girls on the forum?

Curious how many ladies contribute to this here forum............. Is my public profile visible I wonder?

Thanks for the information. My nephew is very - very smart and knows a lot that I why I have to be very specific about my gift choice. I'm a very proud auntie and he deserves my utmost respect.

Well, keep hunting! You'll come across a good deal soon. If I happen to see a place that does ship to Canada I'll post here.

that is really thoughtful i'd appreciate that, sometimes apple store online also has them in their refurb with the glossy 17" 2.5ghz quadcore i7 but they go quick (sigh).
