Thanks for all the pics. I still want to see it in person before I buy but now I'm more confident in how good the screens look.

You only have 90 days from the purchase date to purchase applecare. So you have until roughly the second week of September. With the shipping, just wait until the status changes to shipped, and you will know exactly when it will arrive by using the tracking number...

Can you please stop talking if you don't know what you are talking about?

You have 1 year to purchase apple care. 90 days is the phone support you get. Theoretically you will have a lapse in your phone support. Big freaking deal, since they're useless anyway.


Have a nice day spreading misinformation.

Well carp. You are right. The way that post was typed was not how I meant it. As you indicate, the OP has 1 year to purchase applecare. However, as a recent convert, he may be interested in that extra phone support he may go without for up to nine months.

And OP, the last purchase I made shipped from PA. So maybe that'll be your location as well.

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"?

Just got the 1199 model from
the 5th ave store in NYC. Migration assistant is transferring files from
my late 2006 MBP now (will take 3 hrs). I can tell you screen looks awesome. Even when liking from the bottom, sxreen doesn't go negative black!!!

Thank you so much for the pics. I ordered my 13" MBP 2.53Ghz but it won't deliver until 1-2 weeks due to the SSD option. But thanks again, those pictures with the dark background look incredible. I'm very excited. :D
