Macbook Pro 13 2011 Early vs. Late

To help in your decision, you can use these to compare the specifications of any Macs you choose:
Apart from a slight bump in processor speeds for the base and higher configuration models, there isn't anything different.
I would get whatever suits your needs at the price you can justify. If you can get the base Early 2011 model for a good price and that will fulfill your needs, then that's the one you should buy.
If you need the fastest 13" MacBook Pro available, then buy the Late 2011 model.
Whatever you choose, remember you always save money when you upgrade the RAM and SSD/HDD yourself.

Thanks guys - I looked at the comparisons and could not really see a huge difference - very slight bump on processor and hard drive - but video card appears to be the same. Posted this in case I am missing something.
Yeah Amazon messed up my order so now there are hooking me up - It will cost me about 64 dollars more to get the late 2011 - So i think I will go for it!
