I've read all the reviews for the new MacBook but one thing that is not stated that well is if there is a major difference from the previous model to the current? Would I notice it or is it just minimal? I don't game that much and when I do it is on a console, the only game I would play would be sims 3 or hearts of iron 3. So is there a huge difference?

The main change in the updated MacBook is specifications. The processor was bumped to a faster speed and the graphics card was improved.

For you, it probably wouldn't be a huge difference.

This would be perfect for you, OP.

I just got the new macbook as a replacement from my old one that had an unfortunate incident with a lorry (don't ask), I use it almost exclusively for web browsing / email / on the go work so noticed almost no difference.

I am tempted to up the ram to 4gb then poke Portal on it though xD
