What monitor should I get (not to get too off-topic, but since we're getting our Macs now I think it's ok hehe)?

I'm looking for above 20" with good color fidelity under $1K. I'm worried about getting the dreaded "pink haze" on the 23" Apple Cinema Displays, even though it has the excellent S-IPS panels.

Well, speaking for myself, I have a 24" HP LP2465 (ca. US$650) and absolutely love it. I was lucky and got mine for roughly half the price of the, IMO, ancient and inferior Apple 23" display.
 
ADC Update

Has anyone ordered a 2.4 GHz 7200 rpm MBP through the Apple Developer Connection store? I ordered mine June 24 and it's still "not yet shipped." Delivery estimate is August 7. I hope i don't have to wait that long.

my coworker ordered a stock 2.4 through the developer's store on July 12th and it shipped July 24th.
 
Just talked to the Apple dealer, and after 7 weeks Apple hasn't even started to build the computer. Do I have to fly over to China and build it myself???

man that sux! did you complain at all? was the phone rep nice?

I would try calling back and seeing if you get a different rep, maybe they will give you some kind of discount.

Well, all the Apple dealer knows is that Apple hasn't started building it yet. When I called Apple directly, they said "Sorry, talk to the dealer". So, I'm pretty much down to just hoping. Don't really know who else I can contact...
 
It's here! 16 calendar days from Order to Arrival. I think it's a reasonable delay - compare to many back in late July.

Ordered through ADC Membership
Order to Shipment: 9 biz days or 13 calendary days
Shipping Time (Shanghai to Alberta Canada): 3 biz/calendar days.

But I am soooo mad! :mad: The delivery person signed "FEDEX" himself and left the package OUTSIDE the house!

They are lucky it isn't damaged by rain or lost or who knows what. I could easily have said I didn't receive anything, or it was stolen - and they would probably have to send me another machine.
 
i ordered my 2.4ghz 7200 rpm on the 6th july, recieved on the 26th (the earliest date apple quoted when i ordered)
very happy after my 20 day wait :D

btw - the old power brick was supplied, not the new compact one
 
Finally prepared for shipment! I ordered 2.4 7200 glossy on the 20th of June. Does anybody know when it gets prepared for shipment about how long to Central California? Thnx.
 
ADC Order Prepared for Shipment!

After 5 long weeks, my MBP is finally prepared for shipment! I ordered a 2.4 7200rpm 2GB Matte through the ADC store on June 24, 2007. Any more experiences with the new or old power brick?
 
Is it just me or does it seem like they're shipping out (finally) the 7200 RPM orders now? in that other thread (has your mbp shipped yet), 3-4 people (with 7200 RPM orders) reported theirs to have been shipped yesterday/today.

a few of us ordered around the 18th and 19th of July. So, they are at least up to that order point. It was right in Apple's estimated time on their website, around 2 weeks.
 
Do you guys with the 7200rpm have a slight vibration from the keyboard and palmrest?

When I had mine, I had the slight vibration which the 5400rpm stock models in the Apple store didn't have. Hmmm.

Maybe a tiny little bit know that you have mentioned it. Ive had it for a month and not noticed it so defiantly not an issue.
