I tried going through with a purchase but nothing happened... I think it is because of the telephone icon dohickey... Have to call? I sent an email to them to be sure and to check if my "pre-order" went in...
 
I would get a 17" but i really would like to see some benchmarks and real world battery life results...any idea on release date so this info can be released?

also whats normal shipping on a place like macmall? I would be getting windows installed also..... would like to order early FEB and receive mid FEB..is this possible?
 
MR doing some advertising does not bother me, need to keep the site running somehow.

Macmall on the other hand, boo! I wouldn't give them a nickel of my money or time.:mad:

What is the most reliable Apple reseller in people's opinions? I find myself having to purchase an old 17 inch MBP (displayport to dual=link DVI adaptor issues), but I don't know which retailer to trust. I've always only ordered from Apple directly...
 
The tax questions..

Basically, a company can only charge tax if they have a presence in the state to which the item is shipped. They currently only have a presence in California & Tennessee. Therefore, if there is sales tax charged on purchases in California & Tennessee, then there will be sales tax charged on purchases shipped there.

Anywhere else & there is no tax charged.
 
"Apple pushing 17-inch MacBook Pro deliveries near March" - Apple Insider,

I think this means we can expect upgrades to iMac and Mac Mini near march?
 
I'm a total newbie here, but I used it to buy my first MacBook Pro and prob would not have done so if not for the extra 3%. I can appreciate some people feeling that this is clutter, but I was really glad it was there. :)
 
$100 mail-in rebate from macmall is good until Feb.28th, don't know about the $57 instant rebate though.

Better use it before it expires then eh?
