Hi Guys

Got the XPS in sig a few weeks back and although its a nice bit of kit the build quality and feel isn't up to much imo ... But I have used a firends MBP and its so nice to type with and use in general, should have got the MBP to start with :(

Debating selling it off and going for a MBP (MB470B/A) which I can get with some discount from JL's for £1190 :)

Is there any up and coming price drops expected soon?

Also whats the performance like on the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M 256mb cards for source and alike?

Thanks in advance!
 
Nothing at all.

Apple NEVER drops prices during a products lifetime except for some very rare cases. The MBP won't be one of them and the next update for CPUs is probably mobile nahlem late next year.

So:

BUY BUY BUY

OK well I thought it worth a post just on the off!

Whats the 9600M performance like compared to the 8600GT? Which is what I have now? Can I expect a boost or similar performance?

Cheers!

Hi, who is JL? £1190 sounds a pretty keen price!
 
Damn it, oh well its so cheap for 4gb off of OcUK its by no means a show stopper...

Can't wait to get my hands on the laptop tomorrow.... :D
 
It's good, it's faster. :)

However, OcUK only sell the DDR2 stuff which I don't think works in the current range of MacBooks. May need a second opinion on that though. :)
