Back to School Promo, and MacBook Pro Specs

[macenforcer]

How long till people whine there is no new enclosure, and no black MBP?

This sucks. Same enclosure and no black.

 

[Sbrocket]

Optional hi-res screen on the 17", HAH I was right.

 

[mustgroove]

Hmmmm.... no LED backlighting as far as I can see on the new MBP's. Still, the 2.4ghz MBP will be mine

"15.4-inch widescreen LED-backlit 1440-by-900 LCD display"

yes, LED is included.

 

[samh004]

Ooh looks good and the new page detailing the computers is nice too.

Look again, in the press release the LED backlighting was specifically mentioned.

 

[kingofkolt]

IT HAS LED BACKLIGHTING ON THE 15"!! woot! This is everything I wanted!! (Except 512MB GPU)

EDIT: I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but the 17-inch has a high resolution BTO...

 

[MArcoetpolo]

I'm just wondering about an issue !
5400 or 7200 for the 160 Hd?!

 

[DonRivella]

Too bad, the same (in my opinion) unattractive look and the same retarded layout (I guess nobody at apple ever uses the lock and both USB ports).

 

[Wells]

"Thank you for your order.

We’re processing it now. You will receive an email confirmation shortly. "

The 7200 harddrive added 3-4 weeks to my delivery estimate. I went with 4 gigs of RAM as well. I don't mind waiting.

Is the glossy display LED backlit, too? When I click that, the price decreases... HELP I want to order

Hes asking what he should go for. I would get the 7200 if you can afford it.

 

[ImNoSuperMan]

WOW. HD res for the 17" MBP.

Leading-edge graphics
The NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT delivers exceptional graphics processing power. For the ultimate creative canvas, you can even configure the 17-inch model with a 1920-by-1200 resolution display.

Wow, now you can save 150 bucks by getting a glossy MBP!

 

[elithrar]

You would not believe this. My bank's online banking system is down for maintenance, hahahah, and my "MacBook Pro" fund -- the cash I set aside for it -- is in an account I cannot access otherwise.

Oh, but I'm getting the high-end 15" with the stock config, and an 8GB red nano. Winnar :>

 

[macenforcer]

I can't wait to see these led screens in person. Think they look better? What about battery life increase?

 

[wvtbred]

I think you have a 6 day wait....

I can live with that if it happens then but I have been waiting sooooooooo long as it is I don't know if I will make it.

 

[Royale w/cheese]

I kinda new to the whole chip name stuff, are these santa rosa's?

 

[kajitox]

I'm 100% satisfied.

 

[koalition]

Finally!!!!! Yihaaa!!! But damn it;s annoyinh that they sell it with 2x1gb ram.. You are kinda forced to stay away from less expensive 3rd party ram unless you want to toss 2gb out..

 

[giganten]

Yay really nice!

But what modell should i go for the 2,2ghz 15" or 2,4ghz 15"?

 

[wrightc23]

Yup

Wow I'm going to order one tonight. Pity they can't deliver in the UK before 19th June and itwon't be available in Apple stores for a couple of weeks. Finally going to get rid of my Windows Laptop for this.

Looks like they've really delivered on this one and a price cut in the UK as well!

 

[macenforcer]

Yay really nice!

Damn, get the 2.2ghz and grab a mac mini. Same price as the 2.4ghz.

 

[wrightc23]

I'm going for a 2.4ghz however if you're pressed for $$$ I'd get a 2.2ghz and spend the rest on RAM and 7200 rpm drive, you'll notice it more.
