Just wondering who is running the latest and greatest from Mr. Jobs and who is staying with the classics.

I got a 2009 13", if you guys want you can throw down a benchmark or specs below.

Mr. Jobs asked me to tell you to get the newest MBP 2011 ASAP! :D
 
2009 13" MBP here... specs as per my sig below. I got the higher version not the base model, and I upgraded the hd to the 320 GB one and upgraded RAM to 8 GB vice 4 GB. Still going strong and looks like it did on day 1... and the 2.53 GHz C2D is still more than enough processor (and I run Adobe CS5 routinely!)

Ya, Final Cut Studio is surprisingly smooth whenever I use it on mine
 
Still on the first unibody MacBook pro in my signature.

Trying to upgrade everytime but thinking mine still does everything i want to do.
 
2010

Very happy with my MBP 2010..

I may pull the trigger on the new Thunderbolt display even if I cant use TB at the moment..
 
2010 2.8GHz i7

I originally had a 2.2, but it was replaced with the 2.8 after multiple screen failures.
 
late 2008 unibody. Come to think of it, it is actually a unibody MacBook, no firewire, no SD card slot, no Pro :(

Same here - I run the full Final Cut Studio suite on my 2009 13" machine - does great! Upgrading to 8GB of RAM made all the difference.

But I may be moving up to the 2011 base model 15" simply because my wife's 2007 black macbook needs an upgrade. So she'll get my computer and I'll get the new one:)
 
I own a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 CPU, 4 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB hard disk (upgraded from the stock 320 GB hard disk).

It's an excellent machine and I don't plan on replacing it with a new unit for quite some time, probably at least 4 years.
 
Late 2008 MacBook Pro (first Unibody, I think)

2.53 GHz Processor (Intel Core 2 Duo)
4GB DDR3 RAM
512MB Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT
15 inch 1400x900

Had it since Feb 13th of 2009 =D Bummer for me not waiting because Apple updated them a few months later. If only I knew about the mac rumors buyers guide back then :p
