    Do the pros outweigh the cons? considering that a brand new one with half the ram is a 1000 more?

    You can never get a good deal on a Mac.... Why? Because it's a Mac

    I was being humourous... or attempting to be. Anyway, the one thing that actually worries me about that is mentioning of the Graphical issues. Pro's use the same 8600 GT's as Dells right? Those things are known to fail, and it's something that's been affecting MacBook pros aswell to some extent.

    It may just be a loose cable, or it may the beginning of a chip failure. It's a possibility...

    you'd get more responses probably over in the mac forum, not so many comediennes there - right Dartz?

    personally I think it reads like it has been dropped and the fact that there's screen corruption, nope
