buyersguide.macrumors.com also, current MBP was launched in April this year, so we're about halfway through... maybe will have new model in January ... if I were you, I'd buy it now  |

1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
a Go to My Computer.
b Select the optical drive (D:).
c Click “Eject this disk” in the System Tasks list.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.
The installer should start automatically. If you have AutoRun turned off, double-click
the setup.exe file to start installing the drivers.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you must respond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear. |

is this a laptop or desktop?
AFAIK, they only offer that option at the time you buy your Mac. You'd need to contact 3rd parties for that after the Mac was purchased.
Feel free to contact Machines / Switch / MacCity / Epicentre...
