Delivery Time?

I actually will buy a MacBook Pro today as soon as I'm able.

Anyone know if they're shipped out quickly?
I'd like to have it at my house before the end of June!
 
WTF?? 128MB is plenty. There was a time not so long ago that 128MB of computer main memory was enough. But computer-wise, seven years seems to be forever.

Hell, I remember the times when I had a super nice Trident GPU with 512kB of video ram, user upgradeable to full megabyte!! That was in the early 90's when today's hardcore gamers were not even born yet.

Oh, well — today the image looks 500x better than back then. Must be because of 500x more memory ;)
128 MB was plenty...3 years ago.

EGA and amber 4LIFE.
 
awesome! one last question (first mac purchase as running from a g4 powermac i was given) - think its worth buying one? would go for higher 15" model - needs to last me at least 4 years
:rolleyes:

Well, this will be my first Mac also so it's your call.. I'm definitely buying!! (Though I'm waiting until after WWDC as they might announce more built-in software on Macs shipping after WWDC, such as iLife '07 or something.)
 
oooohhh good point!

wasn`t going to order too soon anyway but even more of a reason - an extra week or two to get some more funds together too ;)
 
Which one has the LED display?

It says the 15" MBP, so I guess it is for both glossy and matte?:cool:

Please don't start a flame war on glossy vs matte.;)
 
LED Display Q?

I too am confused about the LED display as it is not mentioned directly on their site as an LED display. Also, thanks to all for clearing up the Santa Rosa question.

I found this on their site: Sorry for the clutter.

"More than beautiful

The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is better for the environment, thanks to its new mercury-free display. Backlit by light emitting diodes (LEDs), the display weighs less and is more power efficient than the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) which most notebooks employ, and provides full brightness immediately after the system is turned on."
 
Can someone on the east coast verify if your apple stores have it already or not? I'm calling mine at 10 but if I'm in for dissapointment I'd like to know now.
 
HAHAHAHA! Those Predictions were ON POINT!

Looks like I'm Buying a Macbook Pro! its got the GPU bump that it needed badly, and its Nvidia... plus hd and santa rosa AND LED!!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO! IT CAME GUYS!, IT FINALLY CAME!

Now lets get to Purchasing!
 
I got the new 15" and...

I just picked up the new 15" and even the folks at the store didn't know that they used LEDs. I will be returning mine tomorrow and trading in for a 17" as I believe that the new displays may have an issue. My 15" non-glossy has uneven brightness along the bottom of the screen. I don't know if this is just an issue with one unit or more. I have already contacted the store and asked them to tuck a 17" TFT away just in case.

I'll have to look at mine. I'm not usually that picky about things like that though so I probably won't notice it.

Any other common "mac" issues I should check for before I hack into the box to send in the UPC for rebate?
 
NOTE: wrong date format !!!



While we had heard convincing reports that the MacBook Pro updates would have to wait until WWDC (June 11th), a few new reports have started trickling in that the MacBook Pro could see updates as soon as this Tuesday (June 5th).

Mac4ever.com (French) posts the following from a reseller (roughly translated):
This information alone would not necessarily be convincing, as resellers tend not to have much lead time on new products... but a few other tidbits we've heard lead us believe that this could be legitimate.

Sources are unclear if this will be the LED / Santa Rosa updates that users have been hoping for, and some sources still insist we will have to wait until WWDC for the new MacBook Pro.

The date in the French forum is in format GG/MM/yyyy, so the rumors is OLD (June 2007) and not 02 /Feb, 2008) ....
Cheers,
