Macbook Pro 2009 Vs Macbook Pro 2010

The dilema starts here. I have a Macbook 13" 2008 model, and a late 2009 Macbook Pro 17. The Macbook 13 goes to my wife and I get a replacement Macbook Pro 15. Do I wait or do I get now. I am not a patient man so I dont have time for all this Apple Crap, dont tell and just release in the middle of the night stuff...what do you think I should do and why

for me, its totally up to you, the latest the better given that you have the budgt to buy the new macbook. Howevr, there isnt much diffrence in performance between the 2009 and 2010 model, just processr, ram, and video ram upgrade.. still, performance wise regardless of whether it is the latest or the previous one..it always does great and buying a mac lasts for more or less 10 yrs before it can be obsolete.

I exchanged mine MacPro after 24 days however they charged me 20% restocking fee. But I got the 15" Core I7 MacBookPro. I ordered it last week and still in Shanghai, China. WTF!

Well atleast the 13' got a small update in processor and better graphics with 10 hour battery. An improvement but i5 would be better. 10 hour battery is cool tho. You can tell apple is just waiting to use the term "round the clock battery"

i hope you waited dude...the new ones are amazing!!!

probably only useful to professionals that render and export HD video, do 3d modeling, etc.

and of corse, the hardcore gamer who uses their PC for nothing but gaming.

i bet by the time SSD's become standard we will be moving on to different and more efficient ways of storing data any way.

[robertmasse]

@corndog5595 well, no moving parts...so not just a bit faster, but fastest (I use to design hard drives in my past life and Solid State Memory is the fastest) removes all mechanical access latency, no drive spinning etc. The access of data you will see the biggest boost, like bootup of the machine, and bootup of apps...then it depends on the app as to how much data access vs computing power is needed (ie, databases vs Cad for example). Still too high prices for my wallet...

@robertmasse

they definitely make eye candy machines, but they are power underneath.

just look at the mac pro.

whats the draw to SSD anyway?

sure, more reliable and a little bit faster but for almost the same price as the machine you are buying?
