It is PERFECT !

[DoFoT9]

There is a way to adjust that preference. Please read the following article, it has a nicely detailed set of steps. Nothing to difficult.

Hope that helps

Sopranino

just be careful using the deep sleep option. there are a few things that dont work as you want them to sometimes!!!
for example..
if you have your xp partition set as your startup disk, and put it to sleep not saving your latest english assignment due that morning. and then get to school to hand it in and turn the computer on and realise its starting in WINDOZE you kinda get off it just a tad.

Got a perfect MBP here as well. Its the new SR 2.2. Got it just over couple weeks ago. Havent found even 1 blemish on it anywhere. Tried out a gazillion random software from versiontracker and macupdate. and to my amazement OS X still starts up in about 30 seconds. Ohh.. I'm a switcher by the way. This is my first Mac.

Got Vista ultimate installed in bootcamp.. and boy oh boy is it slow?!?!?!
If you thought startup on vista was slow, wait till you try shutting down. Yesterday it took me almost 4 minutes to shut down. Kind of feeling that getting vista was a complete waste of money now!!

Anyway.. congratulations to all those who've reported perfect MBP's here. It really feels great hearing all these reports after the numerous whines and moans on the other threads!!

Congratulations on switching to the Mac platform. Welcome to the Apple family. It is great to get a positive posting from people like yourself (switchers).

I have an older MBP (Non-SR), and I love it! Apple really knows how to make it's users love their products. The light up keyboard is also a very nice touch for when I feel like untying myself from the desk, turning off the lights, and just surfing the net in the dark (no, don't get any bad thoughts )

'ello, just wanted to welcome you to Team Perfect

Enjoy the machine!

I am another that bought a MBP in an office ull of IBM's and ASUS's. Nothing wrong with those notebooks but I feel my 17" MBP is a notch above anything else I have seen.

I immediately installed vista using Bootcamp 1.3 and apart from the iSight not functioning I am one happy camper.

I even sent a link to the youtube iAlertU video and a few has scoffed that. Just tried it and it is good. Hope they make an iAlertU for Vista. It would make a 99/100 machine a 100/100 machine.

I paid probably $300 more for the MBP over comparable notebooks but that $300 my friends is so worth it.

Trial a MBP and you will never look back.

Quality and class.

Thats all I can say.

cheers

Nothing like flying first class on an airplane, and having an MBP. I wouldn't want to be seen in first class with a Dell ;-)

Thanks for the welcome everyone!! Its great to be a part of a community enthusiastic about what they do and how they do it!!

Sorry DoFo, i'm not much of a pc gamer.. havent tried out any games on it yet. Got my trusty ol' XBOX 360 to take care of the gaming department

 

[DoFoT9]

hahahaha nah thats sweet georgeommonnom. i have no idea what ur name is its so confusing!!!.

most of my games arent working atm giving me the biggest depression

I'm jealous I'm trying to convert to Mac, but both MBPs I've gotten have had bad screens.

Congrats on yours though

 

[newmacguy88]

My 2.2 SR MBP is amazing! No problems here either! I have a 15 in and I must say the screen is so much bigger than I imagined(can't imagine getting a 17in), I love being able to have two windows open at once side by side. I'm a mac convert after using a mac like 2 years ago for only about an hour(it was the first time since elementary school, at least 8 years ago)

 

[amitface]

Sopranino, could you tell me the Build Week and Screen Manufacturer?

 

[prism]

Sopranino, I find it hard to believe that your MBP goes to sleep as soon as you close the lid! It at least takes a couple of seconds before the light starts to pulsate!

 

[ScottDrummer]

Sopranino, could you tell me the Build Week and Screen Manufacturer?

mine is week 26 FYI

 

[aserafin]

I'm overly satisfied with my SR MBP as well. I just got it about a week ago, and will be happy when my dell is finally sold on ebay. While debating on whether or not I had the yellow screen issue, I turned on my old laptop and it reminded me of how much better the MBP looked. I think that either managed to find another "perfect" MBP, or maybe I am still accustomed to the very low microsoft standards...

 

[Alloye]

My MBP is just like the OP's except matte. I love it to death and find myself strangely addicted to using it all the time.

That really sucks DCV. I'll keep my finges and toes crossed for you this time

You may have missed part of my original comment, here is that statement;

The sleep function is damn near instantaneous, the sleep indicator light comes on immediately upon shutting the lid and the apple logo goes out about a second later which corresponds to when the sleep indicator starts to pulse.

As you will note, the comment states that the light comes on right away, it starts to pulse about a second later which corresponds to when the apple logo goes dark. And that is pretty much a delay of not more than a full second, it is fast!

Well again, what you are effectively saying is that your laptop goes into sleep one second after you close the lid which would make it the fastest sleep mode laptop on the face of the earth! You must have an extraordinary laptop!

Sure, where is that info hiding in the system? (I've seen a number of people posting this information but I haven't paid much attention as to where they got that info from)

For Week, look at your serial number, and the week will be the two digits after the first #7.

For Screen, go to System Prefs>Display>Color and open Color LCD. Click on line 13.. the model will be either 9c67 or 9c68, LG or Samsung respectively
