Hi All,



I'm new to this forum and gonna be new to mac as well I'm planing to switch to a mac from pc, currently I'm in the mist of blur I'm planing to buy a macbook pro the most basic version, and I proceeded to a store in town and I realized that the macbook pro has released a updated version.



My question is the previous macbook and the new macbook is there a big different because the store that which I want to buy the macbook giving me a rebate of $ 550.00 for the previous version.



Is it worth investing on a older version or just buy the updated version....... your advice is much appreciated.



Thank you so much and have a nice day....

    While $550.00 is a nice rebate I think getting the updated MacBook Pro is a better choice. You will get twice the Video RAM (256MB vs. 128MB), 66% more hard drive space (200GB vs. 120GB) , the Penryn processor (more energy efficient, new SSE4 instructions set), and it has a Multi-Touch trackpad like the MacBook Air.

    yeah that is a pretty nice rebate, but i would go with the new ones. The more powerful computer you have the less problems you are likely to have. And your computer will be pretty dang fast
