Well my X-Wife has the G4 PB which is similar in design .. now reguarding the screen this screen on this one seems a HEAK of alot thinner than the PB ... im not sure if the MAcbook pro is thinner than the last gen G4 pb but this new one i just got today feel Verry much thinner overall than the last PB

I must say the LED screen is VERRY BRIGHT (cranked all the way up) i mean like WOW *Squints eyes* this is BRIGHT! infact when i got in the car after buying it at the apple store i busted it out of the box and turned it on ... now normaly I have an old core duo 17" dell with the upgraded screen and you can barly see the screen when in the car but not on this sucker its super clear and it was sunny at the time.

It's that bright? I've heard other sources say the brightness level is not all that different.
 
in case people want to know other makers of the items used or they had other questions as to specific details items had or what it comes with

I was wrong about the nano.. i still think you'd get leopard. I'm pretty sure student developers got tiger for free.

what do you mean wrong about the nano?

I got mine in the apple store for 2299$ with an apple 30gb ipod and they said it qualifies for the ipod student rebate and ill get back 200$
 
My free iPod shipped already, but not the MBP. They all said 1-3 days (not "within 24 hours"), so I wouldn't expect any to ship today.

That is good news.

I would not care but problem was that I had 2400$ available on my 2500$ credit card limit this morning. I did a 150$ payment early in the morning to put the 2538$ amount on it. I was hoping there would not be any problems on it. The iPod was charged but not the MBP. Everything is fine then :)

So you use the ADC 20% discount and still got the $200 rebate for the iPod? Hmm this would be an awesome deal if thats what you did.
 
so since they higher end 15" and 17" run at 2.4ghz, does that mean they'll interfere with 802.11b/g networks and cordless phones?

No, nothing to do with each other...
 
Now that's nice...

...just got home from the Apple Store with a shiny new 15" glossy MBP (the better one.)

I've had a MacBook (the good white one) for about a year but this is SO much nicer.

Only one phrase seems to describe it...

"sex on a stick" :)

be well

Nice post. :cool: Yes, be sure to save all work before turning on the microwave oven! ;) :D :apple:
 
I actually purchased a 17" MBP back on May 25th, and luckily Mac held my order (without me knowing why at the time, thanks Apple!) which allowed my order to bump up to the updated MBPs. So originally my order was May 25th.. ships by May 31-June 4th. Held for updates... now it says..

I actually had the same issue only I ordered mine May 7th. Maybe because I ordered it through my university bookstore they didn't want to ship a student the old version. But now I have to wait 2 more weeks for the new one when I originally wanted it last month. :(
