yeah, we have a 15.4" MBP available already, a new MBP can wait until the new Macbook arrives, I believe Macbook/ibook should appear first.

indeed...
the pictures DO look real...

but the pricedifference is just too less concerning the options: 2.16 standard, fw 800, 8x dl... ??

I agree. For EUR 184 you get a bigger, better screen, 20GB HD upgrade, the top processor and FW800.. that's a lot extra for a little cash.... I know it's education, but still...
 
i am going to order a mbp 15,4 with fcs today.
i actually did not want the 17" model because I believe it is not that handy to transport - but then again: maybe they have no whining issue?
*dream on*

I ordered a refurb 15" 1.67 yesterday - judging by pricing - glad I did.

I'm officially out of the computer market for a couple of years. :D

Well you'll see in 1,5 hours... Apple Store Education Finland is opened just few days ago without any notifications so far, and mayde they just tested the website in there... It wasn't shown on the "regular" apple store web site at the same time.

you were right.

i have it in my store now.

so from a price pov the 17" is the better pick
 
Standard specs ar

17-inch widescreen display
1680 x 1050 resolution
2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (1)

1GB (single SODIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
120GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
8x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB GDDR3 memory
One FireWire 400, one FireWire 800, and three USB 2.0 ports
 
I wonder is the GPU is clocked at full speed on the 17"... If so that is a lot of extra computer for very little money...

The 15" with the extra HD and CPU is $100 more expensive than the 17".... OMG :eek:

I don't know if those 15,4" books are priced correctly as the edu store hasn't been opened officially.
 
I'm happy to see they've included DL superdrive and FW800 in these, it restores some of my faith that Apple listens to its customers. Also, who is going to buy the high-end 15" MBP, when it's only a small price increase for a big gain?

Edit: Not happy to see that a 1GB RAM upgrade still costs $300! C'mon Apple, do you think we can't shop around on our own? Make it a little closer to Crucial/OWC prices and I'd buy from you.

I also would've liked to see the biggest portable support >2GB of RAM, for larger Photoshop/video applications that are the likely target audience for a machine like this.

there must be a mistake this is impossible

the 15" will drop...

:eek: :confused: :eek:

Edit
In France the MBP 15" with extra HD and 2.16 proc is 220€ more expensive than the same equipped 17". I cannot understand. There must be a mistake it just would not make any sense.
