    What size is this…?

    • quarrymaster on 29/06/2012 - 14:13

      13.3-inch, if that's what you mean.

  • spare13 on 29/06/2012 - 14:52

    Rather odd that it's 2 x 2GB of ram…

      it's a 2010 model, also has 3000 graphics rather than 4000

      • Crownanchor on 29/06/2012 - 17:06

        The 2010 models were Core 2, and Thunderbolt was not around.

    Was $1698 before the updates happened. I'm strongly considering it and upgrading the hdd to ssd myself.. I prefer the 13" to the 15" and I have 2 firewire 800's hdd that would be useless with the new one… Hmmm this deal or the low end macbook pro 13" for $1349

    • Merlict on 29/06/2012 - 15:34

      There should be a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter for $30
      The higher specced 13" never made sense to me, with no discrete graphics.

      I'd get the new 13" at 10% off - $1189.

      CPU is slower, but a newer architecture, GPU is improved, Ram is the same, HDD is going to be replaced anyway.

      • tshep on 29/06/2012 - 15:48

        Did they change the architecture at all? There is no mention of it on the site

        • nyamatongwe on 29/06/2012 - 16:04

          Yes, all Apple laptops were just upgraded from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge. Another benefit with the new model is USB 3.

        • nyamatongwe on 29/06/2012 - 16:04

          Duplicate.

        • tshep on 29/06/2012 - 16:14

          Wow i never noticed the change, kept it under wraps so we all bought retina displays. Thanks mate, will go for the new model with student discount I reckon

      • Noslee on 29/06/2012 - 17:49

        new model has faster RAM to be politically correct.

  • wying17 on 29/06/2012 - 16:06

    How do you know this model is 2010. I thought that i7's were in 2011 model.

    • tshep on 29/06/2012 - 16:12

      It's the previous Mid-2011 model, the above comment is wrong

  • aec on 29/06/2012 - 21:00

    so guys, is it on earth a good deal or not?

    i wish there will be some decent discount for stuff like laptop after 12/7, so i can claim gst on 11/8

    • nyamatongwe on 29/06/2012 - 22:01

      I don't think it is a good deal compared to the current low-end model MD101X/A with the standard 10% discount.

      The difference is 2.8 GHz versus 2.5 (12% faster) with an extra megabyte of L2 cache but Ivy Bridge versus Sandy Bridge is worth something, probably a little less than 10%. So you gain a few percent in speed and a 750GB disk over 500GB. You lose out on faster graphics and USB 3.

  • lucyjane on 05/07/2012 - 13:29

    I am really interested in buying this, however can someone definitely confirm that this is a 2010 or 2011 model?
    The link in which it says what laptop it contains says that the macbook is a MD314X/A which I thought was a 2011 model.
    Anyone who knows it would be a great help :-)

    • Crownanchor on 05/07/2012 - 13:36

      2010 models were core 2 Cpu's.
      2011 models are thunderbolt and i5 and i7 Cpu.

      Thunderbolt did not exist in 2010.

      There is no way there would still be 2010 stock at DSE.

      • lucyjane on 05/07/2012 - 13:42

        Thanks just noticed the comment above saying the 2010 statement was incorrect.
        Guess I may as well buy this one before I do anymore research and get confused again :-)
