Ah well, the MBP I got last month is now obsolete 🙂 ---

the new graphics upgrades are nice but the rest is hardly anything to cry over. think of it like this. Your “obsolete” MBP has better battery life with a slower cpu and gpu under the hood ---

> [@lethal\_pizzle](#): > > Ah well, the MBP I got last month is now obsolete 🙂 You know, im at the point now where i dont care about specs anymore. My next Mac will definitely be the lowest spec 13" cus its just for work DJing (high street clubs etc). Ill stick a bigger HDD in and that will be it. I simply do not need an all singing all dancing MBP for Traktor. I used to stress about getting the fastest, high spec MBP. Done it twice now and im over it. The new 13" will rip the shit out of my current 2.53/8GB MBP 15". I dont use laptops for production or anything other than Traktor. ---

Tongue was in cheek. A quad-core will do me fine. Especially as Maschine doesn’t yet have multi-core. If anything, limitations promote good song-building in production (committing to audio etc). ---

So, the 13" got a 100MHz processor upgrade and better graphics…totally see why they didn’t really shout about it…it barely qualifies as trivial. But, that’s okay because the bottom-end 13" is still good enough for just about anything any reasonable person could want to do on a laptop. I’m way over buying high-end Apples…they’re all high-end afaic. ---

How big of a difference is there in performance between the Macbook pro 2.4 ghz Duo Core and the 2.8 Ghz i7 13" models? I’m looking to upgrade as my macbook pro is acting a little choppy, especially with maschine and traktor running at the same time or ableton and traktor. Also are the i7 13" models capable of hyper threading, so a dual core would act as a virtual quad? ---

I need the dedicated graphics card you get with the 15" and up otherwise I’d probably just get an air 🙂 ---

I still can’t justify upgrading my 09 13" mbp, and i do use it for production as well. Only thing lacking a bit on mine it’s the graphics (upgraded disc and ram and don’t feel I need much more than a C2D), but i can live with it. We’ll see what next year brings us. ---

Bought a base model 13" a week ago. Not even worth the effort to swap it over for the new one IMO ---

Very happy with my 15" 2.0 i7. It does everything I want it to and more. Recently bought some extra RAM, just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Gonna bump it up to 8GB for some extra umph. 🙂 ---

When I was working in design my first apple was a 7600ppc, it stunk, but was better than nearly every thing else for running adobe. I had to streamline it and fight with ram issues. It was middle of the line and there was really only one model better at an extra $2k or so. I’ve stuck to the middle end of the products when running a serious workstation, video, graphic design, etc. and never worried about the bumps in processor until they came out with second generation of the new processor. Now I’m running a consumer level white MacBook that is going on four years old, it works fine for 90% of what I need a computer to do. I bought this one on the same principle and went middle of the road on processor spec, haven’t added ram or upgraded the hd, both of which I want to do now. The point is most of the time the specs don’t matter anymore. The 5% or less performance isn’t as obvious as it used to be, as it performs great. All that said I would really like to upgrade and pass this computer on to the wife and kids this year, the air looks great, ultra portable and speedy enough. ---

I would rather they upgrade the hard drives to 7200rpm than upgrade the size. I already have 3tb worth of external storage. ---

Really good do with an upgrade from my old macbook, but they are still so expensive 😞 ---

I jus want a free 5TB Thunderbolt external hard drive. It’s all I want.
