what advantage is the newer model?

The newer model is actually cheaper for some unknown reason. As far as I can tell that is the only difference since USB 3.0 is backwards compatable with USB 2.0 ports.

Hello there, I am not sure which is new and which is old model but certainly I am not very happy with it. It stopped working just after few weeks of moderate use. I don't consider this is a quality product!

No. Part of the issue would be new models have faster and better hardware to support new software features. They prob could do it but typically most manufacturers don't.

There are both optical and mechanical improvements in the new model. I wish I had the new one, but there isn't enough of a difference to justify the cost to me. The CPC1100 does the job I need.

The most significant improvement between this older version and the 2014 version is 2GB of RAM versus 3GB RAM. If you multi-task...or like to install a large variety of apps, like I do, the extra 1GB of RAM makes a world of difference.

Charles, it is a winner. Simple to use. You'll like it! It is a newer model.

I don't think that there are any technical advantages but it looks better and scratches less as the black is a matt plastic type material. I have the black model.

Amazon is selling the old models separate from the new models (at lower prices), and you posted your question to the forum of one of the 2007 models. The new versions are here:

If you compare the specs for each laptop you can see that overall there are a number of big improvements. The new version has the retina display, which is a great feature in my opinion. It has an Intel Core i7 processor instead of an i5 processor and has more memory (RAM). It also has a solid state drive.

I am not familiar with the newest model features. This model is phenomenal.

Don't know. Didn't have previous model. I'm happy with it. Sounds pretty good too me. I'm not a professional. Didn't even know what it was supposed to do when I bought it. I like it.

In addition to a bit of a difference in sound (though that difference is often overstate, in my opinion), the newer model is also more efficient and will be driven more easily by weaker amps.

From what I can tell the new seat is plush and the new version has a faster speed setting. I would have no problem recommending the 2012 version if it is worth the savings to you.

Bob....I have no idea ! There are so many models out now that I have not been able to figure out which is the newest ! I do know however, that is as good as you can get. I have one and it does everything I want and need !

Ithink the only other differences are cosmetic. There is a tray/storage in the -2 model below the console that doesn't look like it's there in the earlier model. Honestly though, I think the main value in the extra cost is the improved console. Based on earlier reviews that liked the unit but criticized the console as small and unresponsive, I thought the extra $100 for the newer version would be worth it. The new console is large, nice & informative, and works great.
