Im buying my first Macbook pro, Im going to go for the 17 inch.

I stand before the option of getting a used early 2009 model or going for the current 2010 model at a greater price ofcoarse. I know the specs in general are better with the newer model, but what else is there....battery life alot better? - I also read issues about graphic driver problems when running windows? Is that happening on both models?

Anyway, any info would be useful - I think both computers will do the job fine....just dont want to get any nasty surprise after my purchase..

Is it worth the extra buck?
 
How much are you getting the older model for?

Because the newer model is a lot faster.
