Old MBP performance

[davisac]

Ok Im stuck between the refurbished MBP 2.4 or 2.5.

Its $150 more to go to the 2.5 and larger hard drive/more video ram. Is it worth that price? Ive looked at the other threads on here and they said its not worth $500 but being as this is refurb it isnt quite so much. Id like to be able to keep it for 4-5yrs if i can. Ill only be doing normal things (web, documents, some sound editing i think). So should i spend the $150? thank

I doubt your workflow will be affected by the higher-speced model, and I also doubt that it will make any difference in five years. I would save the $100 and put it in the bank, or under the mattress.

Agreed. You won't even notice that difference unless you're waiting impatiently for something to render and every second counts. You will however notice the difference in your bank account balance.
