MacBook Pro Price Drop [again?]

Let's take the middle-range model MacBook Pro [the higher-end 15.4"]


Before: SGD 4267.00



Now:


"MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.5GHz 250GB HDD - S$3,889.00"


What you gain...
  • 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo [65nm Santa Rosa]--> 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo [45nm Penryn]

  • 160GB HDD --> 250GB HDD

  • NEW: Screen Cleaning Cloth

  • +256MB to GPU

  • Updated: Multi-touch

  • 6MB L2 Cache: Up from 4MB

  • SSE4 on the Intel


  • What you lose [yes, you lose some things, some of which would have been cool...]
  • Apple Remote: now an option for S$30

  • S$400 off all MacBook Pro models [this is cool.]


  • I say: buy those MacBook Pros!

    [unless you're waiting for Blu-ray, Nehalem, the return of the inclusion of Apple Remotes, New keyboard / larger trackpad, thinner case, more durable MagSafe connector, cooler bottom, or DDR3. Oh, did I stop you from buying a new MacBook Pro?]
