I just received my 13" MBP tonight. It took one week from online order to delivery. It is my very first laptop, but not my first Mac...I bought a 27" iMac in July. I'm still trying to adjust to using the trackpad...I guess it would be the same as learning to use any laptop.
Got a tip for us?

New owner here and so far I love it! I migrated over from PC, like most n00bs. I went into the Apple store and purchased a 13" MBP and got a free iTouch and free HP Photo printer. Sweet deal! Also used my student discount.
My very first mac ever, that's why I'm on the forums to learn everything I can from you guys.

I finally pulled the trigger on a MBP. My old PowerBook G4 is still going strong, it's just beat up, sluggish and won't run the apps I need anymore. Figured it was time to upgrade. I will probably keep it around as a guest computer, or use it as a "netbook" (only without the suckyness of netbooks).
I was debating between the 15 and 17 for a long time, but I finally decided to go with the 15. It felt more natural to me, light weight (more so than the PB I have), and would fit in my nice leather bag.
CTO with Core i7, the 500 GB 7200rpm HDD, and the Hi-Res Anti-Glare display. Pretty stoked. Can't wait to actually get it.

Mbp 13"
Similar to you John, I also bought a 13" mbp, 8gh iPod touch (£130 rebate) and Epsom printer (rrp £99.95 ) (£70 rebate for the printer).
This was bought sat sept 4th n the evening.
It was well worth every penny using the mbp is a thrill.
My first ever mac iv been waiting for a long time for a good deal.

New to the mac world.
I am also a first timer when it comes to mac computers. I have had multiple ipods, but this is my first leap in terms of computer OS's. Decided to give macs a chance after many years of negligence.
Specs:
MBP 15" i7 2.66ghz. Added Hi-Res screen upgrade also.

I guess I can finally join this thread too. I ordered the 15" i7 on Saturday. It's all standard apart from I upgraded to the 7200rpm HDD.
It's not shipped yet and is estimating arrival either Tuesday or Wednesday next week. I'm hoping it might come a little faster but realistically I guess that sounds right.

Ordered my 15" i7 with 7200RPM HDD and HS Glossy on the 31st Aug, and still have no tracking details!
Ordered: 31st Aug
Shipped: 1st Sept
Current Delivery Status: Shipment dispatched - 01 Sep 2010
Estimated Delivery Date: 16th-17th Sept
Total YAWNFEST!!!

Oh dear so just because it says dispatched it does not been it has already been given to a carrier then
, that sucks i was hoping to get mine tomorrow lol.Oh dear so just because it says dispatched it does not been it has already been given to a carrier then
I was hoping to get mine before Friday
I'm hoping that they have just forgot to update my stuff I feel your pain. Has your date changed at all since you ordered? I ask because minus the highres screen our orders are the same. I ordered on the 4th and it estimates delivery between the 14th and 15th. Surely a high res screen doesn't require that much extra time?
I was hoping to get mine before Friday
Like you my ETA is 17 Sep, 2010 - 20 Sep, 2010, cant beleive it takes that long just to give to a carrier lol, unless that is they are not built in the UK ?
Nope, no changes what so ever
Matutu said:
I think they are built in China, then shipped to either Holland or Dublin for UK orders!
Ah freakin' hell, I'm thinking of getting the exact same upgrade, 7200 rpm HD and Hi Res screen. But after seeing your estimated delivery date, I might just buy the stock i7 with no upgrade, but I'll probably kick myself
What does that actually mean lol surely it was in transit to you (customer) all along lol.
if you notice this thread and go back....theirs been a sudden increase of buyers is it coz of the education discount..../QUOTE]
I imagine so although sadly not for me, I've just taken ages saving up.
botchok5 - I ordered the HDD upgrade (no high res though my eyes are bad enough as it is hehe). I placed that on Saturday and they say it should get to me Tues/Wed next week. So that's not too bad.
New owner of a MBP
So I own a PC repair business and after fixing someones HP she told me that she has a Macbook pro that she doesn't like. So I look at it and of corse fall in love. She said that she would love to sell it and would ask $700....NICE. So I offer to put it up on my website and do a consignment deal. She agreed to give me 30% of what it sales for. After getting it home and playing with it my wife reminds me that it is about time to update her laptop cause it is almost dead. So I sell it to my wife for $700-30% which means we just paid $490 for a 17" Macbook pro 2.4, 2GB RAM. Love it! Can't wait to play on it some more when I get home!

Yeah that's what I thought!! I gather that the macbook is in transit to the courier and normally takes 2 days from this part!!! I bloody hope so!
