The Black model costs a lot more than the white one with same specifications!
You can upgrade the white to 80Gb with 50$...
 
I had a suspision it would have intel graphics and I was right, But still I might just pick up a black macbook for myself one day.

Not a problem. Just remember to wear a jacket whenever you take your computer out, and you can drape it across your head and the screen while you work!

Ok, My replacement MBP order was changed, but what actually got changed? lol, maybe a model without whine, with right click? what does "no Optional SW" mean in the top order?

SW=software. You didn't order any extra software.
 
So I know they have the deal where if you have just bought a computer they will price match it within 10 days. What about the 1.83? Am I just out of luck because they technically don't carry it anymore?
 
I really think, or at least would like to think, that there was a revision for the mbp's motherboard or whatnot, why would apple replace my order with the SAME EXACT thing today, unless there are some other changes that arent advertised
 
Games

Isn't this what people dreaded an Intel Graphics Chip on the MacBook. People who think they are going to play games on this are very wrong. This is truly no MBP so whoever thinks their MBP is obselete is wrong. Maybe your processor is but you all have a very good graphics card as supposed to the crap they are putting in the MB. Be happy that you have the best laptop on the market all of you with the MBP, mine still isnt here.


WHERE IS MY 17'' MBP. June 1st cant come soon enough....
PS. Does anyone know if apple typically delivers their products faster then the estimated delivery time.
 
As I said in the MacBook thread. Have you guys ever seen those screens? THEY SUCK. You can't use them if there is light, sun or anything else similar, which means you can't use them outside, which defeats the purpose of having a notebook in the first place.
At least it is an option for the MBP, because if not I might have bough my last Apple portable... :eek: (scary thought, but yes I hate those screens THAT much)

Oh and try to use a white shirt with those... looks great, but I suppose yu'll never need a mirror anymore.
 
Argh. My 15" 2.0 is now $500 cheaper. At least it's still current. :D


Come to think of it, since the Minis are upgradeable (albeit warranty-voiding DIY), it would be nice if Apple standardized on the current cases (Mini, MB, MBP, etc.) for a few years and offered *real* upgrades (not like the partial ones many years ago).
 
the uk price of the 15" is now back to the same as the 1.67 G4, £30 less than it was yesterday.

Not happy that I've only had my MBP17 for 5 days and already the price has been dropped by £100... :mad:

Why? You were happy to pay the price at the time. Prices will always go down and I think it is a good thing that apple pass the cost reductions onto their customers. I suspect the cost reduction is due to the reduction in costs of the core duo chips from intel which reduced mid May.
 
Dont we all wish Apple still had power pc chips so that they could only update the processor once every 5 years :p
 
OK, it is finally time to replace my Pismo.

The Apple logo looks so good against a black background, I don't know why they waited so long to bring it back.
 
I am still a little bit confused about the glossy screens. From what I read from the Apple Store, it seems like glossy screen has a bigger advantages than normal screens.

How does it help anyway and is there any big cons that I would hate glossy screens? I have seen a lot of them in my school and they all look so inflective!!!

Thats not entirely true. Its florescent light that is the worst. I sell them a lot at Staples and ask customers for feedback on the screens. Most of them tell me its at its worst in the store and then when outside or in a dimlit room its actually better.
 
They need to think of something that doesnt act like Faraday's Cage for the case of the MBP

Well I waited well over a week for it to be delivered from shipping, it has a dead pixel, it whines when fully charged and now it's £100 cheaper...

I know prices of technology always fall but dropping the price only 5 days after the first batch were delivered in the UK isn't very good customer relations.
