Hello People,
OK so I was all intent to go to the Regent's Street (London) Apple store but I called them up like I had been doing almost everyday of last week...and they still only had MBPs 17" with 16-xx res and not the HD res ones. Why they dont go standard 1920?
U know I thought that was the whole point of stores...u go in physically and buy it. I am so not happy that Apple dont even stock one or two instances of there top of the range spec'ed MBPs. I admit that not everyone is going to buy a MBP 17" as the MB and MBP 15" are the main sellers but I highly doubt any Internet literate person is going to buy a 17" without HDres sans now so why even stock them or make them in the first place?
I bowed to thy store...went online and ordered my MBP 17" HDres, 2GB, 200GB HDD, ACare, copy of fusion and Office 2008, sleeve, cover, protector and timemachine 1TB taking my store balance to £2890-ish.
Still not happy about 2 things...one that the glossy screen takes 2-3 weeks to arrive if ordered for MBP...what the hell are they doing? Getting El J to make it himself? I settled for the matte screen...my Dell 30" monitor is matte, my old MBP is glossy though...matte screen only takes 7-10 days which I am happy to wait for...almost.
Apple...please sort it out...some people like buying things in cash...its the only time they actually see the money they earned:-|
