A few months ago I bought a Mac Book Pro off ebay. It came fully upgraded with loads of software, parallels, 2011 Office and bunch of other crap.
Model Specs
13" Model
2.3 i5 dual core
8gb 1333 Ram
500gb SSD
However I saw in the store today a 13" model i7 dual core 2.7 gb, 4gb ram, 500gb 5400rpm
What do you guys think would be faster, mine with more ram and faster hard disk or the i7 with faster process speed but less ram and no SSD and slower disk load. Keep in mine on the 13'' model on both of these the i5 and i7's are dual core not quad core, so the i7 upgrade I think is just a jump in cache and speed. Keep in mine if I bought the new one I would not upgrade it.
This is strictly a work computer no games.
