List: Happy with the update and ordering NOW!

[aforty]

Ok, fun list this time.

I'm buying one RIGHT NOW (as soon as I decide between a 15" and a 17" model).

Anyone else buying now?

count me in! count me in!!!!!! YEHEY!!

I'd go 15", but that's just me. I don't see much difference between the 15&17 but the price difference is fairly wide.

I ordered! It's my first Mac, and this is my last PC. I'll be gone when it gets here, so I get to come back to it!

MBP:
2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
MacBook Pro 15-inch Widescreen Display
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
200GB Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm
SuperDrive 8X (DVD+/-R DL/DVD+/-RW/CD-RW)
Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
Accessory Kit

The excitement is overwhelming. At least until it gets here. THEN it'll be overwhelming!

Count me in, already ordered

Just put in an order for the 17. Thank you mac for the long awaited updates!

Buying once Apple Singapore is up.

 

[voyagerd]

Just ordered a 2.6GHz 15". Yay!

I'm getting one today as well.
With the student discount the midrange macbook is running me 2299/ 2500 w tax
Do you guys know of any better discounts?

Take care

 

[andrewdale]

Slight change of plans for me! I'm not ordering till tomorrow and canceling my order I made this morning!

Why, you ask?

Apple Employee Family & Friends Discount.

That's right. I have a friend willing to order me one with their 15% discount. It's gonna save me $300 USD and THAT is worth one day's wait!

However, it'll still be:

15" matte, 2.5GHz, 200GB 7200, 2GB RAM

Final price with discount and tax: $2367.07 USD.

And it was upgraded from Apple to the new Penryn. They even threw in the free remote everyone's complaining about.

Can't wait to get on that thing and junk this windowzer.
