Just gonna wait a few weeks to hear back about any issues with the new machine. Oh and to watch the WWDC for leopard. After that i'm probably going to invest in the entry level model with a 160GB hard drive upgrade! As much as i'd like the mid range model it isn't worth 500 euro for 128MB extra graphics ram and 0.2GHz faster processor.
 
I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to order mine.

I'm a graphic designer, and i was going to get the 17" high def one. Somebody said the LED ones had better colors? Does that mean truer colors? I'd rather have a bigger screen, but if the LED screens are better i should probably get one of those. Any suggestions?
 
I like what I'm seeing.

Base model with 160GB HDD is a possible buy next week if Leopard is out!
 
I just bought a 17 MBP two months ago, but I am gonna dump it to my old man (in fact he does need a new laptop) and buy myself an upgraded one once I get back to the States! Happy!:apple:
 
My personal opinion, get it with Tiger. I am going to do that just in case. I'd rather have something to fall back on if Leopard didn't perform as I like. Besides, aren't they only handing out beta copies to people AT the WWDC?

Yea, go to the store and take a look :)

Yeah i might have to. I have 2 stores that are both about 45 minutes from me.

This has probably been asked a million times, but, can the stores change the specs (like give me 1 2GB stick instead of 2 1GB sticks for a little more cash?) I doubt it, since apple likes to charge 3X the price for RAM.
 
I'm buying one. But I will wait for the stores in Denmark to have it, so I can see the difference on the displays and decide if I have to wait for the 17'' to get LED too.

Can't wait to get my hands on one though :-D

EDIT: Just got of the phone with the danish reseller... They will have them in store in about 14 days... bollocks
 
Not I. I wish in a way I wanted another notebook because the LED would be great. But alas, my g4 powerbook rev d is fine until I buy a mac pro,
 
Ok so i'm heading out in about two hours to the apple store and was wondering if anyone know for certain from past experience that the retail stores will have them. i'll be outside of the store before they even open so i can't call ahead and ask:) its only 10 mins drive but i don't want to go there if they aren't gonna have em'

thanks
 
yea, looks like I'm getting the 2500$ MacBook Pro with that extra 3 year warranty service

Video Editing and Gaming for the WIN!
*Cough* install XP/Vista *cough*
 
With 2 gigs of ram standard, I will totally consider one!

Now we wait for the iMac, Mac Mini, and the Mac Pro.

AND you get a free iPod nano with it!

Wow what a good time to buy a Mac.

Things are boiling up right now at Apple!
 
Yup, ordered already some days ago, but my order has been replaced by the new one. Oh man, what a pity it won't be here before the weekend most likely.
 
Quite honestly, I'm underwhelmed. Like the recent MB update, more of a refresh than anything else. Not that it isn't a rockin' machine, but nothing there really screams to me to replace the new Blackbook. Mebbe next time...
 
It added the newest monitor technology, the newest CPU tech, the newest GPU tech, the newest motherboard tech and can take up to 4GB RAM

yes

just a 'refresh'
 
I am. I have been ready to buy for a few weeks now and since I waited I am getting 2GB of RAM, a slightly faster CPU with all the Santa Rosa benefits at no additional charge.

Sweet!

If by refresh you mean updating the platform, graphics card (BIG update), processor, hard drive, and back lighting method (BIG update), then yes it was a refresh.
 
I'll be getting one in a few weeks to replace my ****** dell inspiron 15''.

Going to be getting the 15'' 2.4GHz stock config with a free blue iPod nano!

:D
