I could not go the money for a new MacBookPro so I went with a Dell Latitude E6520. I waited until the refurbs (DELL pushes the new builds but they do have refurbished and scratch and dent and THOSE go on sale, new one every week) went on special and got one with 8GB RAM, i5 Processor, 500MB 7200RPM hard drive, LED LCD, and it has the extra life battery. It was sub $900.00. I like it and the fact it has a 10 key built into the keyboard!
all that stated, it is new and runs on Windows 7. The new Dell is JUST as fast as the five year old MacBookPro with 2GB RAM, 250MB 7200RPM hard drive, and a processor that is about 1/2 the rated speed. This is to say it will start and load all software and be ready to go in Excel in the same amount of time as the Apple. Yes, the Apple runs Excel without any issues!
