I have a 15" SR MBP 2.2Ghz with 320 gig WD Scorpio Black and 4 gig of RAM. I am really happy with the computer, however, I am concerned about the well documented GPU issues with this model. Since I don't want to have to deal with repairs even if they are covered under Applecare, I've been thinking about getting a new MBP and have some questions that I hope you could answer.
1) Any idea when the next refresh will be released for the MBP?
2) Do you think the Matte screen option will become available for the 15" model during the next refresh?
3) For people who went from matte to the current 15" MBP, what do you think of the glossy screen?
4) If I was to sell my computer any idea how much I could get for it? Specs are above and it has Apple care until July 2010.
5) Which model would you recommend? I'm happy with the performance of my current machine. I see the base model (2.4Ghz) is available for $1850 while the 2.53GHZ is available for $2300. The 2.66Ghz model doesn't seem to be discounted. Is it worth the extra money for the higher speeds?
Thanks.
