Just ordered!

 Macbook Pro - 2.26GHz - 2GB RAM - 250GB HDD
 16GB iPod Touch

1-3 days to ship with 250GB HDD instead of within 24 hours, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Delivery date June 12th-19th. Here's hoping for the 12th!

Typing this on my new 13" MBP!!!

I am so happy it is not even funny. It is so different coming from a TiPowerbook to this. Screen seems to have no dead pixels and looks great to me.

I was told that since the bottom is now one piece of metal, ram and HDD is no longer user upgradeable. I think no one really knew for sure at the store since this was the only one on display out of all of them and I'll be sure to check the manual.

I've never used Leopard either (tiger only) so I have a lot to learn. Also it seems the keyboard lights are on even in pretty normal lighting.

Am I the first to post with a new MBP 13"?

The HDD currently isn't upgradable because of the larger battery that isn't removable, hence no access to the HDD. The 13' Aluminum macbook had a shorter lasting, removable battery, and removable HDD.

If anyone gets one from an Apple Store today please post to this thread. I'd like to go pick one up myself!

Typing this right now from my new 13" 2.26!!! Got it at the NYC 14th st store and it seems they just arrived because I went there yesterday and they didn't have it.

I Love it already...I can't even hear that it is on.

I got the 2.53, but I have the same time frame. All I got extra was the bloody VGA adapter! :(

I'm upgrading from an old school PowerBook G4 1.67ghz

Did you upgrade the HDD? If you didn't, I'm surprised it's not to ship within 24 hours.

A non-removable battery has nothing to do with whether the hard drive is user replaceable. The hard drive is replaceable on the 17" unibody MacBook Pro:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3419

Granted, it's not as easy as replacing the hard drive on the 1st gen. unibody 13" and 15" models, but it's still far easier than the PRE unibody MacBook Pros. I haven't seen any official word on whether the hard drive on the new 13" and 15" MacBooks are replaceable, but the 17" model demonstrates that its possible, likely to be similar, and the battery doesn't prevent the hard drive from being removed.

God, you lot must actually have a limitless supply of money!!

Im getting the base model with 250 gig hard drive at the end of this summer. Free iPod Touch as well me thinks :)

I LOVE the SD card slot and the battery, so glad they were added.
