Macbook Pro i5 vs Old Revision --- Display and Graphics Changes

[Dr. Scientist]

Hey everyone.

I'm almost convinced as far as buying a refurbished 15" Macbook Pro, but I was wondering if there was a chance in the display between the C2D 15" and the i5 15".

I was going to stick with the standard glossy display, but comparing standard to standard, was there any change?

Also, the 9400M vs the 320M. Is it going to make that much of a difference as far as watching a few DVD's and maybe a 1080p video?

And, was there an 'updated' processor of some kind that was put into the 13"? Or is that the same kind that's in the C2D 15"?

Thanks.

The new 15" has a 1680x1050 screen option. But the standard screen is the same.

The 15" has the 330M not the 320M, but for what you claim you are going to do there is no difference.

Processor in the 13" is the family as the old 15".
