Does anyone know what type of RAM to buy for the new Macbooks. I have heard that Macs are picky with memory.

This from earlier, as most of you have probably seen. LED panels are inevitable, what interests me is the timing. Perhaps it got pushed to holiday season... in which case MWSF. But surely no later than that.

I plan on buying myself a 
BlackBook within a week if my dad doesn't make me wait for Christmas to come around so he can buy me one.
Seriously, to all you parents out there, why wouldn't you let your child buy something for themselves instead of forcing them to wait for Christmas so you could buy it for them?

That's rubbish. And don't whinge to us about health care. It isn't free at all. It's free if you don't pay any taxes.

that is because you always need to buy him something for Xmas, even a macbook has been bought.
Very Dirty On Apple
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed right now. My MBP arrived 3 days ago (minus leopard). I rang Apple to see if I could get an upgrade or refund. They said even though the cooling off period is 10 days, I cannot return mine because it was a CUSTOM order. I chose the high-res screen and 7200rpm HDD. So I havent even used the computer yet. Im waiting for them to send me Leopard now..... I just spent $4000 on this machine, was wanting to get top of the line and it is already 2nd best and I havent even used it.
I would pay the extra to get the 2.6Ghz
I went to a local Apple store before placing my order and asked a sales person if I should wait another week or 2 in case Apple updated their computers with Leopard. He said "DEFINITELY NOT, THERE WILL BE NO UPGRADE BEFORE JANUARY". He also convinced me to order online.
Might I add that my MBP was not due to arrive until Nov 6 - 11th. They shipped it early. I can't express how upset I am.
And they say there is nothing I can do about it.

I guess I should join in on the price moan, even though the £ is at $2.07 now, a baseline MBP is approximately $600 more at £1 300, and $300 more for the BlackBook at £700.
Its a joke that they still have a drive without a dvd burner. If that option cost £10 more with a superdrive, TONS of people would get it...
LED Bummer
The lack of LED is the only thing preventing me from purchasing a MB. I didn't really expect LED at this time, but I WAS hoping. Everything else is just what was anticipated (realistically). Perhaps I will wait to see Apple's ultraportable in January.
Hrmf.. No LED backlight?

It could be to force the majority to buy the mid-range which is what they'd rather, much like Apple TV: 40GB for £199 or 160GB for £269, it makes people feel like they're getting a good deal.
Well, this does seem to be an unfortunate case of severe bad timing. Note that most people at the Apple stores I've been to have been pretty much useless in terms of useful information, even some so called "geniuses." Moreover, in the case of release schedules, they are as much in the dark as the average person (unless they happen to have the new products in the stockroom waiting for the release date - which usually is only a day or two before release).
I know that some people will say that your mac is as good now as it was when you ordered it, blah, blah, blah, but yeah, it is a sucky feeling and I feel for you. Maybe you could try to get a discount or something? Good luck to you and I hope you find a resolution that satisfies you...in the worse case scenario, you still have a great machine on hand, even if it not the "top of the line."
I was really hoping to see aluminum Macbooks debut this time around. I like how they look now, but I think a lot of people would like it if they could match their Macbook to their Nano.
How about a black Macbook Pro? That would be a nice change. Aluminum looks nice in black as well.

"custom made"

Dude, they are bringing out new Penryn Macbook PRo's in January! I mean even if you got the 2.6 option, it would be obsolete in a couple of months anyway. Penryn will be much better and we also might see some case redesign among other things.
In any case, 2.6 won't be much faster than 2.4. and probably much hotter
Has anyone else noticed that they now offer a 200GB 7200rpm hard drive in the MacBook Pro? Me wants!!!
Longer battery life, better color representation, and more environmentally friendly.
