PS: I have a buyer of my current MBP for $900 (comes with 500GB and mDP-to-HDMI cable) and I bought an Intel X25 SSD and Optibay with 1TB HDD to replace my ODD. CPU bump, 3 more hours of battery, audio-out on mDP port, much better IGP, 4GB RAM, and force sensitive trackpad all for less money than I paid last year. I was considering a 15" MBP this time but went with another 13" MBP because the offering was so strong. He even missed out some Pros I would have expected, like dynamic switchable graphics. I upgraded some components a couple of years ago so I currently have a 256GB SSD with 4GB Ram, running High Sierra 10.13.6. Bear with with me, as I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to tech/computers (my model is good for the 16gb upgrade).
MID 2010 MACBOOK PRO 13 INCH SPECS 2.66 GHZ PRO
You compare the Core-i3 with Intel HD to C2D with Nvidia 320M and you see why Apple made the right choice. Im considering upgrading my mid-2010 MacBook Pro from 4gb RAM to 16gb RAM. Operating temperature: 50 to 95 F (10 to 35 C) Storage temperature: -13 to 113 F (-24 to 45 C) Relative humidity: 0 to 90 noncondensing. Also, there was the disappearance of the FireWire 400 ports but not a reduction in the overall number of FireWire ports as the two FireWire 400 ports were replaced by 2 more. The differences include its Turbo Boost capacity from 2.66 GHz to up to 3.06 GHz.

No Arrandale CPU options on 13 inch model when that would mean Intel HD IGP in the 13" MBP, which is a major downgrade. The Mac Pro in 2010 had some differences from its predecessors but was certainly packed with more power to drive your work. They initially came with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Apple's SSD and RAM options are reasonably priced, It's the SSD options that are the Con as Apple doesn't use the fastest SSDs and still doesn't offer TRIM. The Mid-2010 MacBook Pro models were released on August 13th 2010 and discontinued on February 24th 2011.

The cons are all pretty wonky: - No built-in HDMI port when mDP can output HDMI A/V signaling with a cheap cable or adapter. How is no blu-ray a *legitimate* downside?
