Well...
It started a little over a month ago when I recieved my 15/2.0 CTO MBO. I orderd it with 1GIG of ram, the 80 gig 5400 RPM, and everything else the same. Only thing I changed on it was the ram. It arrived a lttle less than a week later via Federal Express. As soon as I turned it on, I was plagued with problems that ranged from a solid line of stuck pixels, to the CPU whine, to the excessive heat.
After I arranged a replacement order, my Apple rep informed me they had replaced the logic board, which supposidly "called for less thermal paste". Well, my week 25 2.16 MBP with 2GIG of DDR2, 100 GIG 7200 and 256 ATI x1600 arrived and it's perfect. There are literally no dead pixels, the system itself runs about 10-20 degrees cooler on average, the CPU whine is totally gone, and all of the other problems I was having with my old MBP have been eliminated.
All and all I am very happy with my new notebook. I was a bit concerned when the first 2.0 MBP arrived, but now that I have my week 25 2.16, I am way stoked.
Just thought I would let everyone know things are finally comming together in the world of the MBP
