I'm about a week away from buying my first MacBook Pro, in fact first ever Mac, question I have if I may, is there much of a difference between the 2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 Turbo Boot up to 3.7GHz and the 2.8GHz Quad-core Intel i7 Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz apart from the price.
If you will be using resource intensive applications in a vocational context frequently, the faster CPU will probably pay for it self.
If you are an avocational user, for the overwhelming majority of usage, there will little of any difference in performance when using most applications. It then becomes more of a question of bragging rights.
To put it another way, if you live in the country, a Ferrari makes sense but not so in the center of Manhattan.
Ciao.
Quad-core Processor 2.5GHz or 2.8GHz
