So after being a solid PC fan for many years, I've finally just given up on it, I've gone through something like 9 laptops in the past 3 years, or maybe it was 8, and have finally decided just to get a Macbook pro. I'm going off to uni this september and just had a few questions for those that already have the new version with the penrynn processors. Is there that big of a difference between the 2.4 and the 2.5 ghz processor in terms of noticable speed, because I know there's a little bit more cache, as well have any of you guys had big enough problems to deem getting applecare. Some friends say you don't need it, but I live by it religiously after bricking 3 ipods and going through countless other incidents, any advice and recommendations would be great.

id suggest applecare but not at full price, look at www.sigelectronics.com and get it from there or maybe ebay?...other than that its a good laptop
