so.. the stock is available la ek...good2.. can survey2

But I heard from the people from machines@mid-valley that they don't have stock yet, and they don't know when it'll be in... Anyone have any idea?

I ordered mine from an independent laptop shop who's taking it directly from US, but Estimate Time is unavailable... damn...

the unit is still at SIRIM?

damn long

this afternoon just play my frie's penryn mbp Sweet. Too bad not enuf time to test crysis out.

dont have stock yet but advertise on the website what for?

Something like pre-order I guess...

allvin: where ur fren got his MBP so fast?

WeW~ I got my Penryn MBP from MacStudio! (Didn't I announce it in the earlier post? *humph*)

Anyway, FYI, they have only got 3 17" which are sold out the next day. I booked my MBP, so went to collect on the 18th March. Damn cool machine, I've to admit. My first lappy btw.

MacStudio has stock only for the medium range and high-performance range. They don't have stock for the entry level's. IF you're needing it urgently, can go to our nearest kiasu neighbour and get it there. My Penryn is received from there by MacStudio.

Happy waiting, guyS~ *Using it now to reply*

Wow, nowonder, I ordered the entry level so I guess that's why it's taking so long. It's going to be my first lappy too btw. Man, I just can't wait any longer... Makes me wanna cry out for it haha...

Hi Guys,

Supposed to be the New MBP Penryn 's lowest spec is 2.4ghz. and price range is Rm6999 at Mac retail rite? Understand is it with the multi-touch like MBA? How to different the new MBP? sorrie.. new to mac.

Yes it comes with Multi Touch, what else u wanna know?

Hello guys!

I've just finished installing Windows Vista Ultimate *ahem version* on this Penryn MBP! Scoring an astonishing Windows Experience Index of 5.1! Gosh.. Gonna love this machine. EpiCentre @ Pavilion just called me this afternoon, saying that the model I want (medium-ranged) MBP has been in stock. BUT, I told them I got from MacStudio since last week dy! They're slow.

Good luck, enjoy your first mac!

Congratz on your new mbp. Went to Sunway Machine but was told no stock for new MBP~ Told me Limited units~Just bought the MB 2.4ghz. Should have waited and visit EPIcentre instead.

Hi,

i am an early adopter of the MBP. got the 2.0Ghz Core Duo version.

Sometimes the cs3 and iphoto's loading time drives me crazy. it is as if it getting slower (but i think my patience is getting shorter only. )

Do you guys think its worth the upgrate to the latest mbp? Will there be a significant upgrade, i tried googling but because of the difference in generation, i cant find any direct comparison. the new leopard seems cool but the RM509 pricetag is not.

Maybe you can consider maxing out the RAM of ur MBP? With a whooping 4GB of RAM, I don't think it will be slow again... HAHA! Btw, have you actually went to Google for something like "iPhoto alternatives"? I did and found out that the software (iPhoto) tends to lag a lot when handling large amount of photos. A few alternatives I've found are Abode Lightroom and iView. There are more, go and have a look. It might *maybe* stretch ur patience, who knows?

Leopard can be *ahem* down-lo-a-d-ed eh, I think? =X

Omg, this will be your long-term investment! How can you just simply pick a laptop... For me, I will wait no matter what, to get what I want. Anyway, hope you are having fun with it!
P/S: Apple is NOT CHEAP! And I'm a patient guy...

Ammendment for Windows Vista:
I've finally uninstalled it and got XP instead. I found that Vista burns my laptop, so prefer not to risk it. Feeling burning hot at palm rest area as well.

Visit the following websites for some benchmarking number. http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/2008/04/mac...nce-april-2008/
Keep in mind that they only measure the processor and memory performance but I guess you can deduce a conclusion from it.

wow, so impressed visit this thread..:-)

Wah, so easily impressed! *joking*

verced:
I've visited but quite shocked that PPC's G5 is still on par with current Intel's Core 2 Duo processor! - Simply impressive...

Yeah, it's a long-term using product.I m quite a impatient person. Hafta agree Apple is NOT cheap~
Now I m wondering whether I want to sell off my currently 1 week old Macbook and get Penryn MBP. Not sure how much the resale value.

LoL! Impatient will turn u into a monster when u see a new one comes ouT! Likewise my friend who bought it last december. She then sees me having multi-touching my mac! Wakakkaa...

For the resale value, sorry as I'm not familiar with the issue.
GOod luck then!

I see u r very happy wif ur new mbp, congrats

nway, y u said vista burns ur laptop? fine with my xps..even cooler than my last ibook
