2008 C2D vs 2011 i7 - Worth the upgrade?


hey guys,

have late 2008 mbp 2.4ghz c2d , 9400m / 9600m gt 256mb graphics combo.

had 3 years , next month applecare expires i'm keen offload i've had number of problems recently. problem there no chance can afford, or go ahead spend $3000 or $4000 brand new mbp, looking @ going hp/dell @ circa $1500.

problem still love mac, , yesterday noticed refurb 2011, quad core i7 2.0ghz, 6490m 256mb graphics circa $2000, possible.

now, has had experience going c2d sandy bridge i7? whats performance difference like? also, comment on how 6490m holds against old nvidia 9400m/9600mgt?

don't modern gaming on it, bit of l4d, iracing etc. use mbp general stuff, hd movie editing, vms etc.

looking opinions really, have baby on way wanted mbp replaced before , our income halves

thx!

andy
