What is the difference between the New and Old versions?

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

The older version is great, loved it!! Battery life was phenomenal.. lasted months! I upgraded to the new version only because my old one broke. That said, the newer version is also great, extra buttons are very useful esp. if you use it for 3D modelling, but the battery life is not as good as the older version. Stock up on AA batteries, especially if you never turn the mouse off. Using the mouse daily, you may get a few weeks of battery life. Switching the mouse off at night will extend the life a bit tho.

the two main buttons on top (left and right click) of the old version have a matte finish that feels very high quality, almost metallic like a media-blasted aluminum. The new ones are shiny plastic and feel MUCH cheaper. Yes they may both function the same, and are both incredibly durable (I travel with mine and drop them constantly), but I'd pay double for the old version over the new. It just FEELS so much nicer to me.

I've heard that it varies. Mine did not ship with the most up to date version.

The old version has a Intel Core 2 Dual processor 3.6 GHZ and the new version has a Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and the old version has a 500 GB ( 7200 RPM ) Hard dive and the new version has 1 TB ( 5400-RPM ) Hard drive which has twice the storages hat the old version has.

The only difference is like you said. It's newer. They all provide the amount of online time as displayed. You should have no problems what so ever.

The one I got in Dec 2013 is 1.0 :-(, but it was on sale so maybe they cleared out the old ones, not sure how much a difference it makes as the 1.0 one ROCKS!

I did not have the older version, but my friend who is also a professional photographer says there is a world of difference between the sharpness in the newer version and the older one. I actually purchased the new based on his recommendation.

I so not know if there is a different, newer version. I bought this as a gift for my mom. She loves it! Sorry I can't be of more help.

there is no difference on versions. whatever you get you will use only the S/N. you have to download the current version (year) of the version you purchase. After that only thing to do is to activate. Enjoy it

the new version is nice because you can keep the net very tight. It is also a lot easier to fasten the net. I hope this helps. My family loves this game!!!

The version I got after buying is 3.8. Dunno why the picture is different. Maybe the seller ran out of 3.8 cause I believe I got one of the last ones.

can't tell---the button to open the top is red as opposed to blue on an older one. don't know if that means it's updated.

There is no New or Old version, you need to activate the software, and at that point you will be asked to update the software .Every week the software will ask you if you want to update to the latest ver.

No! Only the old version. I had to return the one I bought for this very same reason p

Don't really know if there is any difference. I tried to replace the old one with exactly the same and it worked perfectly.

The newer version. But it would not be to hard to make it work with the old version either

one big difference is visibility. Microsoft made the new version look more compatible with windows 8. flatter. cleaner. only 3 themes. all are gray and white. middle aged client complained that view ability was poor. I agree. installation leaves the old outlook in a crippled state. new outlook icon is vastly different. users don't recognize it.
