So send it back, get a replacement. You might also receive the new model if they havent shipped your order yet.

So NOT fair. I only just ordered my MBP yesterday morning. I need it by Friday and could not wait any longer. but still - not fair.

Dont worry youl almost certainly get the updated version if it is coming out as we speak.

Far longer than it should.

Couldn't they just write up the new website offline, then transfer it to the online server? I don't know anything about websites and servers so I don't know what the deal is there.

Depending on construction, you put all the new content on a different path and repoint the httpd to the new path. Then it's just a restart of the daemon.

There is some maintenance that could require a longer offline stretch, but I do wonder when they bring the server down for maintenance (i.e. to put up new products) if some of that is just for show.

I know we'd be smacked down if we had to close the doors for a website update every time.

Not by much, probably by 10% or so.

Get a refurb one, awesome machines, and great saving.

I'll hope for a new MBP today, and then ill look at refurbs in 2 - 3 months time (whenever they arrive - and use saved money to buy iPad? ;) )

I'm totally psyched. :) Tried out a hackintosh early december, fell in love with a few apps and have been waiting for a refresh ever since. I really hope this is it.

Imagine if the store goes up: no changes whatsoever. Who will be devastated? Steve is just toying with us...

Ta-da!!!!!

"Here's Johnny!" Er... the Macbook Pros, sorry.

It better reserve the value of my overpriced aluminium collection from Apple, otherwise I will get angry! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Actually, most people only watch the numbers, so with a quad-core, I'm safe. :rolleyes:

As somebody whose work forced them to buy last week, I sincerely hope they're just adding colored scroll bars.

And I'm looking forward to the stream of "but I just BOUGHT a MBP!???" threads, for advice.

"but I just BOUGHT a MBP!???" will be the new "when are the MPBs coming out?"
