The Apple.com tracking is awful, it just doesn't work. You want to do it on apecode.com if your Mac is coming via Kuehne+Nagel, it tells you ever detail.

On the TNT International assignment tracking website.

I'm sure they won't deliver on a Saturday, so I'm expecting Monday or Tuesday with luck.

Hi EVH,

Nice spec there, Im gonna be getting exactly the same apart from only 2GB of memory (will get more if needs be from elesewhere).

Now what I would like to know is how that Hi Res Glossy screen is in sunlight/brigh light? I went into an Apple store and from what I could see there was some reflection on the Glossy and none on the Matte. But obviously I couldn't take it out into the daylight. Would it be possible for you to take some pictures of it in the daylight?

Mines coming Monday

Mine's just arrived in Northampton - not a million miles away now. I assume they don't deliver at weekends, so it'll probably be a Monday job too.

To be honest I only went glossy because my last few MBPs were matte and I haven't looked back since.

Don't use it out in daylight, but it's never troubled me indoors since I've had it.. even sitting in a brightly lit room with a window directly behind me If you are undecided I would highly recommend the glossy mainly because it's a nice change from matte and everything seems nicer.. also it's easier to clean!

No pics yet as I haven't got it .... yet.

EVH, that's a mighty fine spec.

 

[NickK]

Drool.

EVH what is the spec of the ram? SODIMM DDR2 2GB sticks?

Hmm... I'm severely tempted, although I have a feeling they're quad core the October refresh with Lepoard onboard too..

Yes, but by buying this MBP now it will have greater resale value in September

 

[Logsi]

Did your MBP arrive Arty?

[J1234]

Mine has, all I can say is: WOW. It is truly stunning!

 

[Deleted member 651465]
