Shanghai delay?

[Monkaaay]

Good news!!! FedEx just updated to show the package arrived at my local airport "sorting facility" at 12:43am. Looks like tomorrow may be the day!

My MBP is the basic 2Ghz, 512MB, 80GB drive. I bought upgrades for the RAM and hard drive.

Hrmm

Clearance delay...

Just like my friends. It did not make it through customs, my friend. Expect a little more delay Hate to break it to you, but it could be 2-3 days before it leaves there. It took my friends laptop 4 days to clear customs because of his "clearance delay" . but I wish you the best of luck...

Monkaee.. I did the same thing, well, I orderd the 2.16 now with 1 gig (2x512) and the 100 gig 7200 RPM, then purchased two 1 gig chips aftermarket.

Im thinking mine might come tommorow as well. Its in Los Angeles right now, but if it follows anything like my Nano it will move early in the morning to my local fedex facility and then be delivered around 10, before I wake up!

My MB is the 2ghz white, 1gb ram, 80gb hd. So its upgraded somewhat, but not a ton from stock, the ram hopefully will help alot. Ive also got the Student Edition of Office 2004 sitting here, and my mighty mouse and apple keyboard plugged into my windows box, cant wait to get it in its natural habitat.

i am having a bitch of a time transfering all my stuff!!! hehe

one 2.0mbp next to a 2.15mbp.... gigabit ethernet, priceless

It's quite nice, that's for sure. I wish Google would release Google Talk for it though. I don't really like these other clients.

I can't believe people complain about the heat and noise. My HP/Compaq from work is just as hot and soooo much louder.

 

[rhsgolfer33]

Mine is here as well, just finished updating it, Ive now officially switched. Well, I still have to transfer PC files over, lol.

 

[yah00z]

Int'l shipment release

MEMPHIS, TN



yes....it can finally get moving!

 

[yah00z]

Wow...

Apple screwd up my first order I think, and sent me a glossy display on my original system. After I booted up the new laptop and formated, I noticed the color difference. The glossy screen gives you such a false sense of color, IMO. It's nice and all, but if you are going to be working with images at all, matte is the way to go. That is so weird. I have seen the glossy display on the MacBooks, but it's NOTHING like the MBP. The MBP is so suttle you barley even notice it. Let's put it this way, I thought it was a matte diplay... For 32 days untill my replacement came

 

[yah00z]

Well

at the same time, based on what I saw on the macbooks, i did not like the glossy display. I am starting to like it as I sit here on bolth of my 15.4 inch MBP's. On one hand, it looks sick, on the other, it's just giving me a false sense of color... Which it's basically fooling my eyes. Any other opinions ?

 

[Monkaaay]

I really like the matte screen. I almost regretted not getting the glossy screen. However I really do like it, very bright, good (i.e., real) colors, etc. I just swapped the hard drive and I'm having a few issues getting all of the "lines" of the laptop to line back up properly. Once I get OS X installed I'll continue to work on it and probably have to open it back up.
