In the "mine is older than yours" category, I still program on a mid-2007 15" MBP! I recently upgraded it to 6GB RAM (I don't know why I waited so long), but I now have those vertical lines on the display that are from the internal connector (or something similar). Drat! Now I feel dumb for upgrading the RAM. The machine isn't bad, but replacing the screen is a no-go given that I could buy one on ebay for the price of a replacement screen. And I agree re: new ones' not being upgradable. I'd rather have a relatively bulkier form factor that's hackable, but Apple disagrees. Also, $2K is a lot for me.

  I'm not seeing the 4K screen option there...

      No I meant the linked page you gave had just the one model. But clicking around I see it now. The main issue for me is what I really want is "longer then 2 hours battery life" for "upto 5 hours" doesn't inspire confidence. To some extent its why I don't want to upgrade just for that either - battery technology hasn't fundamentally improved enough, so really it's all clever power saving tricks. Give me an ultabook padded out to an inch thickness with a solid sheet of NiMH batteries that can be charged to a couple hours of runtime in a few minutes.
