*** The new MacBook/MacBook Pro thread, all info in here ***

[JAMAL]

That HE store link is dead now, or at least I can't access it anymore. Apple obviously noticed something amiss.... I hope they don't cancel my order

I was just checking my bank account and my money is back in my account, nothing about cancellation on my order on the apple webby though.

EDIT, My HE link is still working BTW.

No it hasn't, it has travelled:

China -> Korea -> Poland.

Quick thing - why do you order off the website?

There seems to be quite a delay in actually getting these MBs out to you - why not just pop into an Apple store and get one?

I did wonder why there was no Arrival/departure info for that part Thanks

Quick thing - why do you order off the website

I popped into the Regent St store about 3 times, each day they'd sold out before I got there. Plus I get a discount through my employers on the apple store online

Because every time I ring any of the ones within 50 miles they are out of stock.

Mine has shipped now

Ah right fair enough, just thought i'd ask.

As you were.

Pretty sure that is the drive you get if you pick the 320gb @ 7200rpm option.

Anyone got any high res pictures of the new Macbooks/Pros?

 

[smokedog]

How much is a 2.53GHz Macbook pro is from an Apple store with HE discount?

Also what forms of ID do you need?

 

[Sarduk]

Look earlier in the thread (around p5), someone posted the prices.

You need a student ID (in date) or a course schedule.

its telling me mine has an exception now and may effect delivery time

 

[Sarduk]

That means it has had customs problems (usually in Asia). It doesn't take too long.

If you ordered a custom build, what do you expect? Them to magic it up to your specification.. or build it?
