Please Help me choose! Black MacBook loaded or older 15inch MBP

[Stephen Dowling]

Hey everyone! I need help deciding between two macs! Here are the machines specs:


Black MacBook $899:
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1 GB DDR2 667 RAM (I'm upgrading)
60GB OCZ Agility SSD
750GB Seagate External
Intel GMA 950

MacBook Pro (Pre-unibody) $879:
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB DDR2 667 RAM
320GB HDD
Radeon x1600 w/ 128MB GDDR3 RAM


Both are in excellent condition, but what do you recommend? I"m a fairly light user with the occasional Runescape or WoW playing.

Thanks,

Stephen.

If you're going to use graphics a lot I'd say the MBP.

Just my opinion though.

yes the pro for the graphics

but for pure style the blackbook is brill plus a ssd.. but really for games ur better with the pro.

i miss my blackbook

you won't have fun with the GMA950.. really, forget it if you want to play WoW.. btw. I think the price is not adequate.. too high!

Alright, what about a 2.4GHz Black MacBook with the GMA x3100?

Almost as bad. I recommend just getting the pro.

I say get a new unibody white Macbook from Amazon for $850. Its better than any two of those machines IMO.

not entirely. i find the x1600 to be about the same performance as the 9400m.
