Im loving the price drop..but it may apparently take awhile to arrive(perhaps 2 weeks for my custom config 15 inch mbp..replacement for my 5 year old powerbook)..Just spoke to a rep from Apple about it.
Is it available in stores in and around KL already?

what's the mbp 13" gets for the upgrade? im thnkin to get a new one. because my old mbp 13" is stolen..

How do the auto-switching thing going on in new mbp?

Hardware button ?

2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo,
NVIDIA GeForce 320M,
4 GB RAM
mainly these specs..and longer battery life..arnd 10hrs


its auto

im going to get the 2.66
and is the graphic card improved?
i want the i5 processor. but i dont like the 15" because it is a lil bit to wide

wah... so long? i tried to customise.. and they show me 2 - 4 days.. btw.. would like to hear more inputs regarding

"upgrade from 1,440-by-900-pixel LED-backlit, glossy display to a high-resolution, 1,680-by-1,050 glossy for RM294"

1) worth it?
2) good for photo editing user?
3) or any pros and cons?

sorry for always asking bout this.. bcoz it is something that cant be changed after purchase

anybody? before i made the order..
im kinda confused btween the 15" and 13"......

The thing is the order will be sent directly to their manufacturing plant in china to be customized and will definitely take a long time to ship compared to the basic models...I went for the high res matted upgrade( no way im getting glossy)..it should be great for editing but of course ideally a 17 incher would be better for that but you still get heaps more pixels compared to the 1440x900 screens with the highres display...
Hard to say regarding pros and cons yet..but i suggest you order early as the Apple rep said he will be expecting delays for later orders(either that or you can check out the local apple stores, where you get a feel for yourself..although they probablywont have the high panels for upgrade)

I have already planned, talk to the 1-300 customer service people and good to go. Now only thing is I need to swipe my parents credit card for the education price the person I talked to said the 13" will reach my house within 1 and a half weeks. I still have sleepless nights for the next 1 week as this will be my first apple. Have been a windows boy since windows 95

how much is the education price bro? where u order it from?

if i'm not wrong, you have to order it directly from apple online store and it's RM400 off the retail price ....

I am going to buy it for 3.6k. 200 less than the original price which I will be using to buy iwork It is available at the malaysian store. Under education section.

Welcome to the mostly wonderful world of Apple!

to those who were patient enough to wait for the new MBPs... congrats!!

huge price drop oh. cheapest 15" with core i5 n dedicated GPU only 5899. even 17" also less than 7k if edu price~

also it makes no sense to get macbook white now hehe. i wonder if it'll get a price drop under rm2k

Ordered last night and it has status shipped this afternoon, expecting to get it tomorrow morning then. Worth waiting? No idea, let see tomorrow .. hehe..

Wow that was quick! Mine's gonna come within 20th-26th Did you customize it? Which version you getting?

Since customising will penalised/delayed the shipment, I choose not to add/remove anything, stock standard 15"/2.4GHz.

seems like it's RM300 discount now compared to RM400 discount previously.... well oh well...it's still a discount...

btw.. anyone order MacBook online using education plan? do we need to submit any kind of documents?

nvm.. i found the answer.. but just now when i called the 1300.. the girl told me that they will need the college emails, secondary students dont get the rebate.. they need student ID, wat college approval and etc

wow, yours is fast. Just out yesterday and expected to reach this afternoon. If it reaches, I must give a thumbs up for apple's efficiency.

@evyeoh: The price drop so much. I am already happy with the 300 ringgit discount given for education price
