hahahaa...just got a 17inch MBP yesterday!! ....a refurbished unit...after year of waiting for the next upgrade...got stuck in the waiting cycle la....anyway...finally decided to screw everything and took the 17inch instead of the 15...feel kindda funny coz its damm big for a laptop...

havnt done anything to it yet...want to install leopard before doing anything...

congrats on your latest purchase and joined the darkside.

The dark side?!?!

He has seen the light!

Windows is for the dark side aka evil

pixies pixies

Cool but why a refurbished unit?

Maybe The TS doesnt have enough money

I guess the refurbished unit was around RM6000 ?

congrats! i just got mine too! A week before leopard release. Had some problem with it and sent it to Apple Store and they give me another new MBP. heh. got my Leopard upgrade DVD and installed it.

Everything looking great. heh

Yes, but for me it is better to get a new fresh unit if that thing is expensive and useful to me.

Refurbish unit also got warranty what, plus somemore already do testing (demo to customer) and confirm working, if found any problem, you won't get too mad also, because you know it's a refurbished unit! BTW, I also want to go for refurbished unit of PowerBook last time, but at the end, decide to pick new MacBook But it's PPC vs Intel!

sigh... me still funding for enough cash to get a mac...
*sob*sob*

ive used the old ibook g3 before this...bt it was too slow so i just used my pc instead...so its not that im just joining the dark side now lerh...converted a long time ago...

planned to get the 15inch...bt since the 17inch came up..which is cheaper btw...so why not...the specs is just a lil lower...n the refurbished unit wasnt even used...was replaced because of a malfunctioning battery...just that my waranty period is now 7months...have to get applecare next year...

How much did you pay for the unit?

Hmm..you sound desperate, why don't you sell it off rather than trade it? It's easier to sell it than look for another guy that is willing to trade it. Then top up with extra money to get a MBP.

Good luck dude.

sweet bro, i'm getting mine soon too! an 15" w/ 128mb graphic card

luckily enough, i hav relatives working for apple in california, he gets staff discount of 15% and the retail in US is way cheaper than another other country in the world

ps. i was a hardcore windows user and used macs on a few occasions w/o any satisfaction but willing to give mac a real try after doin my research

You should really start a business man. The US prices are cheaper and with the additional 15% discount. That's a heck of a deal.

The only problem would be shipping and tax after shipping back here. Remember that Macs have international warranty...

I researched already, shipping with UPS would cost you around USD$80, and no you don't need to pay taxes.

The only thing you need to worry is the adapter plug head that is using a different design than the one we use here.

i'll following your footsteps... but dunno when...

this isn't a problem. you can buy replacement plug heads here in Malaysia, for just RM50 from most Apple Resellers.
