My brand new MBP 2.2 is being returned and collected by Apple on Monday, because I'm gambling that the new one will be released in February, hopefully this Tuesday. I REALLY hope it is.
Got a tip for us?

Me too dad, me too
10% (at least in US store)
US Store
UK Store
Also for US
Not sure whether the first US link or the second US link is more current.
I know I'm feeling the same way kinda, but then I realize how silly that would be at this point. I've waited so long so far, I can make it.
Hey Stridder why Chewie is so happy?
Is he testing the new MBP?
Or does he knows when it's going to be available to mortals like us?

No restocking fees in the UK. You can even returned products opened within 14 days (I returned Elgato eyetv and AEBS after using them, no problem)
Man, it's beginning to be a real inconvenience not to have my new MBP. I'll have to order on Tuesday whether or not there's an update, even though Penryn's SSE4 would really help when I'm rendering video. Come on Steve, save me countless cumulative hours of waiting for renders! Release the update so I can give you lots of money!
I am waiting as well, but honestly first we were waiting for MWSF, no MBP, Hardmac came up with the 12th, so we see if anything happens tomorrow. Since last week there are rumors about the 29th of February and that event Apple is organizing. But really there is no guarantee that any of these days will bring the updates we are all waiting for.
Get a refurb or or the current model off Ebay. Save yourself the stress, the worry, the uncertainty that Apple try and inflict.
I bought a refurb last week. I've loved it - it's amazing. So what if tomorrow there's a 100mhz speed bump - my machine's £500 cheaper

Add me to the list.
I've been waiting for it since MWSF...
(hope better graphics, but I think that would be impossible)

I've been waiting to upgrade 3 people in my office. Since October I've held out, but my Powerbook is slowly dying...can't...hang....on...any...longer...
yes indeed - it's gone very quiet here since last weeks excitement. well just think, you got from last Tuesday to this Tuesday, you can get from this Tuesday to next Tuesday. Strange though, it's like last week was THE WEEK, there was so much buzz, this week it just doesn't seem there's as much excitement. Perhaps Apple missed the window.
My G4 is chugging along. I can't run aperture on it, so apple can't sell me that, safari is a total dog, but it's my dog and I'm not, just not, going to buy into something 8 months old when I have a 4 year laptop time horizon.
I'm a little worried that 10.5.2 still hasn't made it out the door, despite the last seed being Thursday, I really don't know if MBP update needs it but ... somehow my brain has decided that it does.
I wait for tomorrow .. but without much hope.
So true - there's not really any buzz about the MBP this week. I reckon most potential MBP buyers have given up and bought a Dell deciding that even using Vista can't be as painful as this when-will-it-end wait.
Well, let's hope that most haven't gone to Vista for that reason! To torture one's self over a wait is not worth it!
No, that's by far more painful. I dont think missing out on an extra ~100 MHz and maybe a new keyboard is more painful than Vista.
Yeah... i doubt they went the Vista route. I think most have grabbed a refurbed MBP SR or just gotten a new one with a dual 2.6GHz chip. I may be heading in that direction myself if one doesn't come by the second week in March or so.
Well, if I had just "changed my mind", I would have had to pay a £60 "transportation fee". BUT, my MBP has some minor issues (wonky keys, wonky lid, uneven backlight), so I've just returned it as faulty, nothing to pay.
But I REALLY hope I've made the right decision, and we get a new one in the next 1-2 weeks.
I'm oh so close, slowly reaching for the trigger. It's gonna be a Dell, or...
my brains
So I decided last night I'm going to be selling my current MBP and getting a new one. I really want the new MBP to have an option for a higher resolution 15" display.
