Hey guys.wazzup.
I'm buying a new mbp. Help me choosing between these 15 inchers -

Mb134zp/a (97k)
Or
Mb470zp/a (1.09 lac)

Which one is better,ignoring the graphics chip coz i don't need it.only processor power matters.i gotta use logic 8 n related stuff...
Also , is it agere firewire chipset on these?

And how much would a firewire 400 to 800 cable cost?

 

[SunnyChahal]

First of all nice to see you Nishant! After a long time!

I suggest you to get the second one but mind you it ain't that cheap. I myself got my Unibody top model MacBook for 95K so how could you get a MacBooK Pro for 97K?

 

[nish_higher]

^ hey..Congrats on ur purchase.how is the new trackpad?
Yeah its been long.i've been cut off from the net since october due to college.

Even i just read the specs of the 97k mbp and its pretty similar to the one i already own-old mbp17.so yeah i m gonna go with the other one.
n tell me abt firewire 400 to 800 cable.the sound card i have (apogee duet) works with the newer mbps only thru it and i got no idea about its availability and price.

 

[SunnyChahal]

Trackpad? One word...awesome!!

No idea about the FireWire Cable Sorry.

 

[pickster]

seriously. after using the trackpad on my macbook, any other just feels... inadequate.
this is the best trackpad to ever come on a notebook. period.

 

[SunnyChahal]

^^
Absolutely man!
I can't even imagine of any other trackpad after using this multi-touch baby
MacBook pwns!

I might soon turn into a Mac user it seems
How much the new unibody Macbook 2.0 GHz without any extra additions will cost me?

Well the site says it starts @1299 dollars but how much it will be in INR lets say if i go to Nehru Place Delhi to buy one? [i live in a remote town]

 

[SunnyChahal]

^^
Don't go to Nehru Place. It's very unlikely you would get it there. I suggest you to buy it from Imagine Corner,Shoppers Stop,Rajouri garden. The 2.0 Ghz Unibody MacBook is Rs.72000/- inclusive of all taxes. But man it's completely worth it! The trackpad is very unique to the MacBook. You won't find such a trackpad in any of that Sony,Compaq crap. The notebook looks damn sexy.....and then the Mac OS X

 

[nish_higher]

yeah the new macbooks rock n i can't wait to try the new trackpad.but no dealer here in chandigarh is gonna provide me one in less than a week's time.

and i found a firewire 800 to 400 adaptor.its by sonnet.

@nish_higher. Hello, you haven't been active for a while now I believe?

BTW where (the hell) do you get a MBP for 97k? Or did I miss out on something?

Yup...not been online at all on any forum for around 6 months.

And the mbp was listed on my dealer's website hence the confusion.but i checked the specs later....

^ Hmm. The older MBPs are a good option I must say. Going through the website. Its better to get the older MBP than the new MB for a similar price IMO. If you need to do pro stuff and are limited by budget, that is.

 

[nish_higher]

^ but i already own old mbp 17 so it would be stupid gettin that one..n i m gettin student discount too so i'd go with the new 15" 2.4ghz n upgrade to 4gb ram..hw much would that upgrade cost?

 

[SunnyChahal]

Just get any compatible 2GB DDR3 laptop memory stick and you can easily install on your own. A how-to is there in the guide. I suggest getting Kingston or Transcend as Apple simpy loots when it comes to RAM.

How much is the PROFIT ?

 

[nish_higher]

4gb laptop ddr 3 costs around 55$ on newegg.mushkins.

i don't know how much apple sells them for.but i'm sure its gonna b high

 

[IronManForever]

^ You have a macBook 17", you are gonna buy another 15" w/o selling? That would be redundant, isnt it?
