MacBooks and MacBook Pros updated today: The bumps are minor, but getting the best tech for the same price is always good, right?

Minor bumps? 200GB drive rather than 120GB, Penryn processor, multi-touch trackpad, twice the video memory, all for the same price. Wait.

I bought mine used almost a year ago and it was completely worth the $500 I spent on it. If you haven't used mac before I would check one out at a store first. The one I got was in perfect condition with everything. This particular model is really nice. Very similar to the modern MacBook Pro. Looks basically identical but has the last gen of processors. I bought the upgrade to mountain lion and now mavericks and it runs them just fine. The only downside to these older models is that you cannot run mirror through your Apple TV. Otherwise it handles just about anything you could need.

I have two Acer and one has been okay for the most part. The newer one has already crashed and burned. I decided that it is worth the money to buy a Macbook Pro. Problem Solved

It was just like the pic... And I needed to download osx with my money at mac store! I mean it wasn't bad condition, but It wasn't that healthy too... Well now I am trying to sell this laptop again. This is my response of the macbook, enough?

If you are willing to spend that much money on a Mac Pro, you should be able to build it to your specifications. They are VERY dependable computers.

Apple will probably announce a new MacBook Pro at Macword in mid-January, but the new model will probably not be any cheaper. I also doubt that prices on the current model will drop much once it goes on closeout.

Everything is exactly like if you bought in the Apple Store. I have bought a Mac in both places. Everything is original and untouched and perfect.

The laptops on Apple's website are the newer ones...they are Intel Core 2 Duo with slightly different specifications.

In the context of future upgrading, yes. For such a negligible price difference, you gain much potential.

I got my cover for the website of the Mac, everything from there is more trustfull. Get the more expensive, because they are the best.

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

I have this macbook since 2008 and I'm still using it. It works just fine, the only thing that broke was the power adapter, but I bought a new one and it is ok.

if you can't wait without having the computer i would definitely wait....who knows what Macworld is going to bring us. I have been waiting since August to buy a MBP or MB (first, it was leopard and now i have been fine living without one so I might as well see what's new.)

I have this MacBook Pro for about a month and I am very happy with it so far. I am still in the process of learning and using all the applications because they are a little different from my very old Apple desk top computer. Just be aware that Maverick does not allow you certain apps like Google Earth due to incompatibility. It appears very tedious to work around this.

I have an older 2008 MacBook and so far, it's working just fine for me! &lt;3

"Work well" is a subjective concept when it comes to sound. They will work to their fullest potential with a MacBook Pro, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the sound quality for $25 speakers.

Yes it is! I love my macbook. it works great. No issues... Bluetooth software is an older version so We can't AirDrop from our iphones but that is it...not a big deal
