Which 2.4 are you referring to? There's no 2.4 on Apple's website. Are you referring to a refurb? The 15" begins at 2.53Ghz.

Buy the best you can afford. Buyer's remorse sucks.

 

[travis64]

Cal they are the same price.

This is last pro model alu 2.4 with the 9600m retail last mnth for 2g

If you can go either way in terms of the screen size then get the 15". The dedicated GPU is well worth it plus you get the express card slot and for $1100 that's an awesome deal.

 

[travis64]

thanks

anyone else got any input i have till 2mor to decide

 

[mikes70mustang]

Get the 15". Its def the better way to go. I like how there is always that one person that roams around and pops in to say "get the 13" lol

 

[Miraculous]

I'd go for the 15". Faster processor, bigger screen and dedicated graphics win the day!

By the way, I'm a new user here. Greetings to you all!! I'm currently using a Early 2008 2.4GHz MBP - AWESOME MACHINE!

 

[travis64]

thanks guys

mir how long does the 2.4 take to start up?

 

[Jigsawjammer]

If the 2.4 is 15" MBP- I'd get it. BUT I absolutely love my 13" MBP. You get a better graphics card in the 2.4 but I need the battery power- just today I streched 7 hours on a charge on the 13"- incredible. Makes life sooooo nice not feeling like you need to carry your charger everywhere. The only answer to your question will dictate to what you need- graphics and larger screen or awesome battery power. Choose- either way you win

 

[travis64]

7hours is nice
how much do the alu macbook pros get?

does the new 13in have better black levels then the alu pro?thanks

 

[Nocturnal22]

the late 2008 MBP get only about 3-5 hours on integrated graphics and 2-4 on discrete if you want battery life and dont need the dedicated graphix get the 13 inch

 

[tsa1]

i would get the 2.4 15inch macbook pro. Might i ask where you are procuring this piece?

 

[CalMin]

Cal they are the same price.

Then it's personal preference. Get the one which best suits your needs. Both are great machines.

 

[travis64]

Guy on craigs list got the 2.4 and you can get the 13in for 1100 shiped with bing on ebay

guy on craigslist said he will also jailbreak my 3gs and put xp and windows 7 on the pro

i just really want to know which one has better black levels i wish some had pics to compare

 

[MrXiro]

Black levels are the same aren't they? The new MBPs just have a higher Color Gamut...
