I just got a replacement MBP 2.0. They gave me a Sealed one with a brand new receipt. The new receipt said I can return till April 2nd.


Do you think i can just return the Laptop for cash? and wait till something new comes out since i really dont need a portable computer right now. Or should I exchange it for the 1.83 and save $500. or just keep it.

I was also thinking of buying a refurb 1.67 15" instead
 
Just keep the 2.0GHz MBP...if you send it back and get something else, especially a PB, I'm sure you will regret it...MBP is the way to go
 
i'd return it..

like you said, you don't really need a portable computer

wait for the intel powermac :)
 
Keep your MBP! Why did you return it and get a replacement?

WHy would you also want a PowerPC Mac when they are trying to get rid of them and further support. Intel is the way to go!

Memory slot failed... said it could be the logic board also... They said 4 came back today!!! so i was thinking probably better to wait a few monthes before getting a new one. Not sure if i can even return the replacement.

Well the software I have now supports the PowerPC, and probably wont be buying new software anytime soon. Of course it is nice to have the newest thing.
 
Quite honestly, aside from all the 'send it to me' posts..

As you were having issues with it before, you don't quite have the grand good first impression. Looks like that's the side effect of getting a brand new product. In your case, I'd say to return it for the a full refund because (a) you said you don't need it for the time being (b) your getting more then what you paid, if I understood your post correctly.

Then, maybe at the end of the year, get the second revision or whenever another revision comes out so they can bang out the final / critical bugs.

But I wouldn't go back to a Powerbook. I'm on one, and very happy with it even though I got it a few months ago (last revision) but that's just because I'm stuck with this, making the best of a bad situation.

Your choice, these are only suggestions...

Cheers,
