Once I get my bigger HD and bootcamp setup I feel this laptop will last me several years before I feel the need to upgrade to something else.A1286 Left Speaker for MacBook pro 15 inch Late 2008, A1286 Early 2009 trust me, it's not as bad as people say, it's a worthy upgrade from Win 7). I will be upgrading to a bigger hard drive as I'm going to eventually need more than the 250GB drive that it came with, so I plan on going with a 750GB hybrid drive and doing a bootcamp Win 8 setup (which I am also using at work and have become accustomed to. This thing honestly is overkill for what I am using it for. The 2.53ghz dual core is plenty fast and it came with 4GB of memory but I immediately upgraded to 8GB. No longer do I have to crank up my TV five more notches when the laptop is powered on in the same room. It is also whisper-quiet which is really nice compared to that Asus. The battery life is incredible to the point that I wonder how it's even possible to last this long on a charge.

So I picked up this Macbook Pro and gave my old laptop to my mom as it's got way more power than she will ever need. It was so loud that you could hear it from the next room. It had a pretty good video card (512MB dedicated Radeon) but battery life was horrible and it w as annoyingly loud because the fan was constantly spinning at full speed.

My old laptop was an Asus with a 1.8 dual core AMD and 4GB max memory running Win 7 64 bit which I upgraded from its original Vista 32 bit. I was looking at used Macbooks because I do not feel that they are worth their price new, but for the price I paid for this used, it's worth every penny. One of the things that really sold me on the Macbook was the ability to run a bootcamp Windows setup. Once I became accustomed to the OS, I started looking at Macbooks as I was in the market for a new laptop. I really did not like the OS for a couple of weeks until I figured out where everything was at. I've been a Windows user since 3.1 and started a new job where I was using a Mac Mini every day at work. Longtime Windows user is loving the Macbook Pro.
