Yeah, it is the model with an expresscard slot and removable battery. But it has apparently got a less bright screen, less battery life, and no SD card slot.
Are you looking at the one going for £1050 on the refurb store? Because I was looking at that one as well, and it does seem like a very good deal -

If it is an older model i will give it a miss.

Dont want old stuff , simple as that , new is best

Haha
If you wait couple of weeks,new ones will make their way to outlet. Also, check eBay,usually you can find quite good deals there!

I bet the older 2.5Ghz 15" MBP will be worth more down the road than the newest.
-
I was planning on ordering the one from the refurb store in a week or two because its much cheaper and the 3-3.5 hr battery life is fine with me. And I can get an expresscard slot card reader that reads more than SD. Is the expresscard slot on the UMBP same as the one on the previous macbook pro? -
-
I thought that was only for the unibody macbooks, not the unibody macbook pros.
-
I think they meant all,cos even new 17" owners report better screens.but I can be wrong,so don't quote me here...
-
that is the Macbook Pro 15" Unibody (late 2008) machine... its barely different than the latest version out, its a very nice machine if you can save a lot on it.. if its gonna cost close to the same as the current ones, I'd buy one of the current ones.

The new 2009 version has nearly 8 hours battery life , compared to the late 2008 versions 4.5hrs , that's one big difference.
-
I dont see an 8 hours improvement is a big deal to me. -

Yes , 15" comes with an 9400m or the more expensive 9600m GT

I don't think much of Kate Beckinsale, but in that avatar, she looks very pretty.
Is this an older macbook pro?
