Which models do the stores carry?

[Cubs]

I am looking to buy a baseline MBP, except with a 250 gb hard drive. Is there a chance that they carry these at the Apple Stores?

good qeustion.

they sell the 15" model at 3 different prices and they sell the 17" model at 3 different prices

the ram stays the same throughout (2GB) but the processor and the harddrive are different each level

So there's a chance that they do? I'm going to call tomorrow, I just wanted to know tonight! I guess one thing I have to learn when becoming an Apple fan is patience!

They stock only 5 configurations.

I wanted to buy the 17" 2.5, 250GB HDD, etc with a HR screen, called and they said they had that configuration; I get to the store and they tell me they made a mistake... So yeah, you will need order online.
