I want to disagree but it's hard to deny. Just threw together a Dell XPS 1530 fully loaded and it is pretty competitive. I can't deny it's very tempting. If only it had a backlit keyboard (NOTE: Go to software and accessories to remove some stuff like spyware and whatnot).


Ok nevermind on that. I had a weak moment I'll admit, so I ran over to Best Buy just to get a hands on feel and yikes. I realized again why I love Macs so much. Build quality/quality of materials.

Dells, Sonys, even *gasp* HPs, all feel like crap. I was totally surprised by the Gateways, which don't even have a latch! They just kind of shut...

I'd buy a refurb'd MBP before I'd ever go near those things.
 
Hear that Steve? Here is a chance for you do do something good for a change.
Give us new MBPs by next Tuesday, or some poor kid is gonna get it from Mister9!

Damn your funny! Still here with ya akadmon. It's so nice to share the eternal wait with like minds. Soooo ya think a Penryn skip is possible?

Did you actually feel/use an XPS? I you have the point I make is null, but they are some very fine laptops.
 
this poll is dumb - the options don't cover all of the posibilities. How about just wait until march? or april? Montevina isn't coming out til june. this thread is dumb/
 
I'll just continue to use my old CD MBP. I realize most of the replies are tongue-in-cheek, but there's a lot more important things to worry about in the world.
 
start another thread saying that the release will be next tues..:D but this time i'll be more technical.. to distance myself from the hundreds of very intelligent and reliable threads about the release of the MBP:D
 
I love reading the Tuesday evening pissed off and jaded MBP waiting forums. It makes the waiting so much more enjoyable.:p
 
Am I Stupid?

Okay I broke down and bought a MBP tonight because I needed it 4 weeks ago when my macbook took a jump and cracked the screen and messed up the superdrive. so i sold it on ebay for like 250bucks. Ive been waiting and getting up early on tuesdays to see if anything..... soo i was like what the heck go ahead and buy it because i need one for my job and my digital photography. If it is updated next tuesday I will send it back because it wont arrive till then anyways..... was this a smart purchase or stupid? HELP!! I have anxiety about it and dont know if I can sleep until I feel comfortable with my decision.
 
At worst, I've got to wait 'til June to get one anyway, so looks like I'm stuck waiting no matter what (unless my parents want to be nice and give me my graduation money early) :p
 
I will sit tight with my MacBook...I dont need the MBP until College which starts in Sept...
