The "I just ordered / bought / got my new/refurb MBP" thread [Merged]

MBP 13.3/2.26/2X1GB/160/SD-USA - Total Price: $1,329.58
Ships: within 24 hours
Delivers: Jun 11 - Jun 12

Sold my first gen MacBook Pro for $1000 so I didn't pay much out-of-pocket. :cool:
 
Just ordered!

 Macbook Pro - 2.26GHz - 2GB RAM - 250GB HDD
 16GB iPod Touch

1-3 days to ship with 250GB HDD instead of within 24 hours, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Delivery date June 12th-19th. Here's hoping for the 12th!
 
Typing this on my new 13" MBP!!!

I am so happy it is not even funny. It is so different coming from a TiPowerbook to this. Screen seems to have no dead pixels and looks great to me.

I was told that since the bottom is now one piece of metal, ram and HDD is no longer user upgradeable. I think no one really knew for sure at the store since this was the only one on display out of all of them and I'll be sure to check the manual.

I've never used Leopard either (tiger only) so I have a lot to learn. Also it seems the keyboard lights are on even in pretty normal lighting.

Am I the first to post with a new MBP 13"?

The HDD currently isn't upgradable because of the larger battery that isn't removable, hence no access to the HDD. The 13' Aluminum macbook had a shorter lasting, removable battery, and removable HDD.

Typing this right now from my new 13" 2.26!!! Got it at the NYC 14th st store and it seems they just arrived because I went there yesterday and they didn't have it.

I Love it already...I can't even hear that it is on.

hdd and memory IS user servicable, it has been on 17" and it is on 13" and 15", so no worries!

I got the 2.53, but I have the same time frame. All I got extra was the bloody VGA adapter! :(

I'm upgrading from an old school PowerBook G4 1.67ghz

Did you upgrade the HDD? If you didn't, I'm surprised it's not to ship within 24 hours.

Congrats!

Yeah, I just called one of the stores here a few minutes ago. They still have not received them. Hope they get 'em soon! :D

A non-removable battery has nothing to do with whether the hard drive is user replaceable. The hard drive is replaceable on the 17" unibody MacBook Pro:

Granted, it's not as easy as replacing the hard drive on the 1st gen. unibody 13" and 15" models, but it's still far easier than the PRE unibody MacBook Pros. I haven't seen any official word on whether the hard drive on the new 13" and 15" MacBooks are replaceable, but the 17" model demonstrates that its possible, likely to be similar, and the battery doesn't prevent the hard drive from being removed.
 
God, you lot must actually have a limitless supply of money!!

Im getting the base model with 250 gig hard drive at the end of this summer. Free iPod Touch as well me thinks :)

I LOVE the SD card slot and the battery, so glad they were added.
 
its only an extra £40 pounds for it ! im well excited :D
Anyone else think its the new 12inch powerbook G4?
