Home Forums Hardware Mac Desktops & Notebooks Buying a 13" MBP--SMC Problems?

I've heard about SMC reset problems and/or power management problems with the 13" MBPs but I can't remember whether they were the 2009 or 2010's. I'd like to get a 2010 because my 15" MBP is a 2010 and I will essentially be "mirroring" the computers, the smaller one will be my carry around one. Does it make any difference if they are the same i5 processor? I think the power problem was resolved in most cases with a replacement of the "magneto-wonder-wire" power cord. Any thoughts here? I'd actually rather have a Macbook but it doesn't have any FW. As my parrot says, "Dammit!"

I think I'm going to get a refurb from Apple.
