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? |

QUOTE(mememe12 @ Apr 14 2010, 12:51 PM) wah... so long? i tried to customise.. and they show me 2 - 4 days.. btw.. would like to hear more inputs regarding 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..."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   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) |

Now only thing is I need to swipe my parents credit card for the education price Welcome to the mostly wonderful world of Apple! 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  |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Apr 14 2010, 04:30 PM) I had a hard case shell before, the Speck branded one and it scratched my MBP .. throw it away .. no worth the RM150 spent on it. But speck is hard plastic..Incase is made or rubber..so it shouldnt be an issue |

QUOTE(angrydog @ Apr 15 2010, 02:23 AM) So what, I should pay several hundred extra even though I'm trying to do this fairly legitimately? Good Lord. I spoke to an Apple rep and he said they apparently randomly performs checks to verify your status as a student..which will require you to send them a letter from the uni of your status or a scanned copy of your student ID. So i guess you should at least get one ready, just in caseAdded on April 15, 2010, 8:58 am QUOTE(wiraone @ Apr 15 2010, 08:50 AM) Status showing mine is at Subang airport already .. but arghh, probably missed morning delivery due to delay in transportation as in the shipment status. Do they do afternoon delivery??? or DHL only do one round a day? Haha I guess my mouse and mbp case is tagging along with your mbp at subang too haha...Damn it I want my mbp now!!This post has been edited by LaminatedButterfly: Apr 15 2010, 08:58 AM |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Apr 15 2010, 09:10 AM) In UK, to be eligible, you need to buy either at university's stores or through unversities network. They seem to keep track of the ip addresses Cistoms better not mess around with our stuff! In Malaysia, I believe Sapura has stores in MMU Cyberjaya and Malacca campuses.. no where else. On the Subang thingy, guess your mouse and case caused the delay .. arghh...  .... heheh ..  Added on April 15, 2010, 9:12 amOh BTW, for those of you who're getting the 15" & 17" MBP anytime soon .. please be aware that Apple has just push out an update for the display driver .. so, do a software update once you receive yours .. |

QUOTE(mememe12 @ Apr 15 2010, 09:33 AM) how u check the status? i logged in tru apple store and didn't see any status.. btw.. i ordered a custom spec yesterday.. u order the non-custom set? You can only track once your unit gets shipped out..Apple will send you an email about it...custom configs will take a little longer |
