schmuckingham Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Since both my wife's and my lap tops got "borrowed" from us we are in need. Not looking for the top of the line but something current and well rounded. She does some photo editing and I just use mine to whack it and surf the web.

schmuckingham Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Would that compare to the HP DV5 or DV6 we were using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Microcenter is where I would go, they normally have some returned/ open box ones at a steal of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acklac7 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Got this one listed for $475, probably would do $400ish though. Got to say that deal on woot was tits, even though it was your typical plastic-junk pc 2007 Macbook pro, 2.2ghz Core 2 Duo Processor, 4gb Ram, 120 GB HD. (NVIDIA 8600MGT GPU W/ L.E.D.

I personally wouldn't trade my Macbook Pro 13 inch for anything. (Except maybe the 15 inch w/ retina display ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't trade my Macbook Pro 13 inch for anything. (Except maybe the 15 inch w/ retina display ) The 15"'s are sex (actually have 2 atm). And personally I don't see how those plastic dual core (especially quad-core) systems last more then two years with the amount of heat they tend to generate. Always pissed me off with my dual-core dell, thing would run smoking hot under heavy load and eventually freeze up and crash. No way to control the fan speed either...BS. With Aluminum Mac's the entire case is basically one giant heatsink, bitches run cool all day long. Plus you can control the fan speed at will. I will never go back, although I do dual-boot with Windows7 64-bit when I need a PC, and to be honest the NVIDIA graphics control under Windows7 is far superior to anything apple has put out.
