HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!! *insert happy dance*

No benchmarks needed. Who cares about a 5% increase in speed or whatever. I will need help, however, on the basic set up, what to look for, and all that jazz.

I still feel like throwing up though. That's a CRAPLOAD of money on a computer.

You can get 2.16, 7,200 at Apple stores?

Yes, you can get 2.16+7200RPM HD at Apple Stores...it's the "Ultimate" configuration. I picked mine up last week.

Maxed out RAM I assume?

 

[zenvision]

does the ultimate configuration (2.16 & 7200) include 2gigs ram? id rather go pick up my macbook from a apple store and make sure i get a W8613

also, can you get the education discount from apple stores?

 

[devilot]

also, can you get the education discount from apple stores?

On hardware, yes but not on software. Plus, you definitely need to bring your college student ID.

 

[zenvision]

yeah i only plan on picking up a macbook and mighty mouse, so thats great! now heres hoping the regents street apple store has this so called 'ultimate' configuration (and with 2gigs ram...)

No, it's a 1x1GB stick

 

[zenvision]

ah annoying! guess ill have to order it...hmm time to think this over

its annoying though because i wanted to make sure i get a W8613 (the noise issue matters, i do a lot of music production)

 

[shoe11]

Thanks for the confirm!

 

[eVolcre]

As a heads up, the Apple store claims 24hour shipping, but when I placed my order it isn't shipping until the 12th!!

Mine is definitely a BTO though. I went with the 2.16, 7200 RPM and the 2 gigs RAM. Wonder why its shipping late ...
