Yea, machines will be closed tomorrow after 6pm.
Guess they're having some new MBP stock.
They should be ready to be on sale on Saturday onwards.
Too bad, they do not offer any education pricing. No choice but to order through apple store online.

Yes you may as what I've did but it's not a 0% installment except if you purchase at machine.  As for my online purchase, my first action is to notify my bank that I would like to convert my online purchase to installment, they've asked for the total amount of your purchase and calculate for u the monthly payment amount. Once Apple charge to your credit card, bank will convert it to installment plan.

wat rate did they quote u?
if im nt wrong, citibank told me it was 9% or smthing..
calculated to pay additional 600 at the end..
din go down tat road n got it cash instead...smile.gif

how long have you guys waited for them to process the order until it is shipped?

I'm curious as the last time i bought mine, it was shipped immediately, while this time it was so freakingly slow. It's not a CTO unit.

supposedly, if u try to cover the area on the left of the camera, the screen wud be dimmed n da keyboards brighten vice versa.
My screen is getting dimmed but keyboard doesn't react to that sensor. Shud I wurry?

Added on April 22, 2010, 1:14 amor try pressing f5 / f6 to dim the keyboard lite! just found out.

QUOTE(mememe12 @ Apr 22 2010, 01:19 AM)
erm... i dunno my keyboard got react to the dimmer light or not.. not much diff if not mistaken...
but i did a stupid experiment just now.. i try to press f6 and make the kb light to the max.. then turn off the room light.. the kb light indicator become about 60%.. u can check that by pressing f5 or f6 after u switch off ur room light tongue.gif
haha.. we just got it today.. still got a lot to learn  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
*
i saw the option to turn off n on..
the thing is.. its suppose to work like this,
when in bright light conditions, they keyboard lite wud be off, in dark environment, auto-on
so, to try, i first set it to full, cover and un-cover the sensor, it shud show an effect of turning on n off the keyboard lite...
