i got my old version of macbook pro for 600 bucks less original price plus free upgrade to 4gb ram.
if you ask me, that's a real bargain and its powerful enough for any photog work already...
No FireWire 400, on both the MB and MBP. Something important to note for those currently using FW 400 drives...I'm one of them, so I'm sticking to my aluminium I guess.
