Yes, it does exist on the old MBPs. I used my friend's and it supported it just fine. Dunno what you were doing wrong.rhizomatic said:
17"
I ordered my very first mac (a 17" macbook pro C2D) from Apple on the day they released it and the estimated shipping date is the 7th of Nov with a 15th Nov expected delivery date. Anyone here reckon that it'll ship from Cork in Ireland (where I am at present) rather than from China? I'm only wondering since Intel makes a load of chips here and I think Apple manufactures here too.

Nope, not a chance. I'm from Dublin and ordered the 2.16GHz MBP 15 inch with glossy screen
D) and rang apple yesterday to find out about shipping. I was told that it is being built in China and supposedly it will be shipped from there. Although I thought all Macs bought in Europe came from Europe, so as we don't have to pay import duties.
I hope to god Apple doesn't expect us to pay any import charges.
I hear ya on that one! I'm crossing fingers that they're being a little conservative on the dates. Seems crazy to me that they don't already have a stockpile of MP ready for shipping given the huge interest in them.Maximus434 said:Nope, not a chance.

I had OSX running on my laptop for a brief time and I can't believe I'm actually going to be getting the real deal!

I think this will niceley replace my aging ti book 667 that i am using to type this. I wonder if i will notice a speed improvement?
Same delivery times for Belgium (BTO with specs in my sign below)

Ok thanks. Last time I checked months ago at the Apple store it didn't seem to work on the MBPs they had on display. Must have been before a software update that enabled it.
I still have a powerbook so I was unaware that this feature had become available on older MBPs.
Anyone know if the Apple Stores will do a drive swap if I want to get the 200GB instead of the stock 160GB? They do RAM upgrades on-the-spot, don't they?
ATI X1600 core and mem in 20 Core 2 duo Imac overclocked by default?
I don't want to get off topic but want to ask this.
After reading here the ATI X1600 is underclocked in the Imacs and MBP I was curious to find out the core and mem clock speed for my Imac and found out its above standard 470/470. Its 475 Core and 500 Memory.
Is this possible?
Anybody else checked it out on the new standard 20 Imac Core 2 Duo with 128 ram?
Or is this app just inaccurate?

Well you are correct! As far as I know the early MBP models doesn't support the requested feature. But when they speedbumped the MBP ot so long ago they added the feature... I own one of the first models OF MBP's and it doesn't support it and I'm using 10.4.8 so...
But I think there is a third party app that lets you do the two-finger trick...

According to some of the people in the old "MBP upgrade in photokina" they were able to get a hand on new C2D iMac when the one they ordered was CD. So juz keep ur fingers crossed. You would be able to get a refund anyway, like bcavanau here...

I have one of the earlier MBPs (ordered the first day) and the feature is certainly supported.
OK! My bad... I'll have to see into why mashine doesn't support it... It's probalbly just an error 40...skochan said:
fukuhela said:
Yes indeed! Error 40 (the error was sitting 40 centimeters from the screen) which must translate into an error 15" in US terms.
21 more days to wait
Hey,
I ordered my C2D MBP 17" the moment the site went up here in the UK on Tuesday {I had been on it an hour before and it was offline and knew what was coming, so I hung around}. I too have a estimated ship date of 7th November with a delivery date of 14th November.
I agree with what was said earlier, I can't believe that Apple has not had some systems already in Europe ready to get "posted" out straight away! The wait for our C2D laptops has been a long and painful stretch {especially for those in here everyday listening to all the speculation} and now some of us have to wait another 21 days
Am I correct to assume that when Apple predicts these dates it quotes for shipping and delivery that they are almost always the case, i.e. it comes when they say it does and not a moment before?
Gheesh
