MacBook Pro smell and need help deciding on which MacBook Pro to buy

So I bought a 17-inch MacBook Pro from my brother in August of 2009. He bought it in March of 2008. A couple days ago I noticed that my MacBook Pro has been releasing a really bad smell almost as if burning plastic. But the smell isn't that bad. What could be wrong with my MacBook Pro? I'm getting a New 15 or 13-inch MacBook Pro in June so idk if I should just not worry about it? And I need help deciding if I should get a high end 13-inch MacBook Pro or a low end 15-inch MacBook Pro?

MB166LL/A, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 17" MacBook Pro

Take your computer to an Apple Store. The staff will be able to check as to the cause of the smell.

Why not ask in the MacBook Pro (Late 2008 and 2009) forum area?
