Ok, good news. In the lab where I used to get no signal with 1st gen. MBP, now I get 3-4 bars, and it actually works.
Got a tip for us?

New MBP Wifi signal a lot better!

I routinely get a strong wifi signal at school in rooms where people running windows laptops get nothing. It's a nice feeling 🙂
Good to hear. My Core Duo MBP had crappy reception and the kids with Intel Pro chipset Dells would always have signal and I wouldn't 🙁
is it simply because it is Draft-N tech, or do you think it's better because of some design? My iBook greats really good wifi reception so i'm curious.
Thats good news. I have a Macbook pro on order and was wondering if anyone knows whether it will work with my existing Netgear 54g router? If not do you have to buy this airport access point from Apple or are the WIFI cards standard compatible?

Well it will work somewhat. I have the Netgear WGT624 router and WPA does not work on this new laptop. So I'm back to the nearly useless WEP for now.
