I'll add some useful application and list of URLs later for you all

Not exactly. its just to make it a lot easier for you when it comes to any sort of warranty related issues. ie. you can just bring in your machine to an authorized service center, without the need to show any purchase receipts, etc, as they can just look up your serial number.

Enough flaming. TS: look here:

look for references to Bootcamp.

Go over to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts

The list of shortcuts are there, and you can define your own keys there too

Both the MBP and the Mac Pro are due for a refresh already. My guess is that the MBP will be at the same time as the iPad.

As of right now, seems that the Apple Store is being updated

Although I know my dreams of a dual Nehalem powered MBP is still kinda like wishful thinking

The last time I placed an order with a reseller 3 days after a refresh, it took about 5 weeks. Stock actually started arriving earlier, just that it took them 5 weeks to fulfill my order due to the number of ppl making the booking. This' pretty normal every time there's a product refresh, where there'll be a worldwide shortage for up to the first 2 months.

You might get better response time from the online store though, but can't really comment on this.

So, weeks perhaps, but it had never been months.

either that or a refresh for the white is coming soon and they're gonna drop the price even more

That depends actually. I'm now on a 13' MBP temporarily and the only times that I feel the constraint is when I'm working on something that requires high resolution.

One thing for me that'll come in very useful on a high res screen though, is that I can use Interface Builder for doing up iPad application screens without having to scroll up and down too much

Originally I had been pondering on the 17' screen 'cause of this, but looks like I can do with just the 15' with the upgraded display.
