*********************************************************

Apple "MacBook" Pro 15.4in Notebook

Model MB470B/A

Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4GHz) processor. 2GB DDR2 RAM. 250GB hard drive. 15.4in glossy TFT widescreen display. Slot-loading 8X SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD+RW/CD-RW). nVidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics with dedicated 256MB memory. 802.11 N WiFi. Bluetooth. Built-in iSIGHT camera. MAC OS X v10.5 Leopard and iLIFE 09.

 

Yeah, it is the model with an expresscard slot and removable battery. But it has apparently got a less bright screen, less battery life, and no SD card slot.

Are you looking at the one going for £1050 on the refurb store? Because I was looking at that one as well, and it does seem like a very good deal

 

If it is an older model i will give it a miss.

thanks.

 

Why?Any particular reason?

 

Dont want old stuff , simple as that , new is best

 

Haha If you wait couple of weeks,new ones will make their way to outlet. Also, check eBay,usually you can find quite good deals there!

 

Yup, exactly why I'm going to hold off as well

 

I bet the older 2.5Ghz 15" MBP will be worth more down the road than the newest.

 

I never heard anything about a screen that isn't as bright as the current gen UMBPs. Has anyone else heard of this problem?
I was planning on ordering the one from the refurb store in a week or two because its much cheaper and the 3-3.5 hr battery life is fine with me. And I can get an expresscard slot card reader that reads more than SD. Is the expresscard slot on the UMBP same as the one on the previous macbook pro?

 

They announced 60% more color gamut.

 

I thought that was only for the unibody macbooks, not the unibody macbook pros.

 

I think they meant all,cos even new 17" owners report better screens.but I can be wrong,so don't quote me here...

 

that is the Macbook Pro 15" Unibody (late 2008) machine... its barely different than the latest version out, its a very nice machine if you can save a lot on it.. if its gonna cost close to the same as the current ones, I'd buy one of the current ones.

 

The new 2009 version has nearly 8 hours battery life , compared to the late 2008 versions 4.5hrs , that's one big difference.

 

But will the base new MBP-15inch have 9600m card? ... no. Is it worth it? Somebody may say yes, but somebody need more battery life. Depend on the user.
I dont see an 8 hours improvement is a big deal to me.

 

Yes , 15" comes with an 9400m or the more expensive 9600m GT

I don't think much of Kate Beckinsale, but in that avatar, she looks very pretty.
