Nope they havent charge to my credit card. Im just wondering why the page wont perform any confirmation after I click the Place your order button. No response or whatsoever. Just weird as I wanted to pay and it didnt want to approve.... Wonder anyone of you face this problem before? I book through education price.

Yeap. But you have to check with your credit card bank. Different bank offers different installment plans but most of them do offer but with a time time handling fee of 3%. I called up a lot of banks.. =P
Oh I just ordered my 15" MBP... No upgrades just a basic one... Delivery date expected between 21/4 to 26/4... Ahhhh Cant wait for it to come!!! Hopefully it will arrive next week so I can share the joy with you guys!!! Cant believe Im owning my first macbook after dreaming to have one for so long!!! Cant wait
Added on April 17, 2010, 2:27 pmIf im not mistaken citibank quoted 3% installment fee but one time deal for 12 months installment...

If you installed a 64 bit windows OS, why would you want to download 32 bits softwares? I dont think 32 bit softwares is compatible with 64 bits. Just find 64 bits compatible softwares =D. Im planning to use bootcamp to install my 64 bit windows 7 =D...

yeap the 8% is definitely not worth it IMHO... You can already spend on some other stuff like softwares/mouse/keyboard/screen protectors/casing/backpacks etc... haha so much more useful...
@mememe12
Huh? Old drivers? Why dont want to update to latest drivers which supports 64 bit? Just curious

QUOTE(kunamiya @ Apr 18 2010, 12:01 AM) 17" not much item to buy , I look for a hardcase from speck , they only have seethru satin black color for 17" and for 15" and 13" they have 5 color .. and Moshi I would like to buy the Ivisor for anti glare , but they only sell 15" and 13" .. no 17" I can say not much for 17" T_T Maybe you can look in garage sales? Or did you mean even garage sales in LYN dont have much option? No worries... MacBook has a whole lot of accessories... Just scared people dont have money to buy them only =D Added on April 18, 2010, 12:30 amWanna ask, those shipment tracking will only be available after it is shipped out right? Or did you guys get it from DHL website or something? This post has been edited by tarvalslain87: Apr 18 2010, 12:30 AM

It is possible as they have given you two dates right? Should be between some date to some date... But of course it can also mean that you can receive on a later date if there are any complications during the delivery process.... But mostly should be within that range that they give you.
