For what it's worth, the generation before the current mbp are better positioned as far as the motherboards go.
If you look on the new mbp, it's lacking certain ports from the older gen, and the usb ports are on the left, rather than the back, so it means if I want to plug in a mouse (which I have) it has to stretch that little bit further, being right handed n' all.
Like I said before though, I can't fault it, but there are plus sides to having an older model too.
