It's here! (pictures included)

Comparing to the iBook, the MacBook Pro's screen is extremely bright and gorgeous! Not to mention it's widescreen. :headphone

congratulations.. i think you are the first on these forums to get one.

how do u find the performance and compatability with programs and does rosseta affect you? :mac:

2GB of ram bet that thing smokes along

Might I ask what the little black box-looking thing is in the box?

The screen IS gorgeous after all.

The screen does look quite nice. Congrats on getting your new Mac. Is that kill bill you're playing?

And can you fill us in on the battery life?

Great aren't they I got mine on monday 27th too!

Under rosetta, the calculator took 10 bounces to open while it took less than one natively. I think the battery life is around 3 to 3.5 hours on 2 cores and when you disable one with CHUD (no reason to do so) the battery goes down 30 minutes

I've tried Q for linux and Win2k as XP won't install. Its pretty kick ***!

The battery life is about 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on what you do.

I reallllllllly want mine now.
Dont you just love new stuff hehe

I'll be forever jealous...... until March 29th when mine arrives!!

Mine arrived yesterday. 1.83 with 1 gig of ram. Migration assitant moved everything over in about 40 minutes and with a quick restart everything was working perfectly. You have to love that about Macs, from pressing the power key I reckon the whole thing took about 50 minutes at most to be fully installed with all my software, all photos and music transferred.

The screen is fantastic and once spotlight has indexed all your stuff the Universal apps absolutely fly. Itunes is now up in 0.5 bounces and iphoto scrolls my 3000 photos with no trouble at all.

Callibrating the battery this weekend but 3 hours seems about an average time from what i can see and what i've been reading.

Just picked up my 2.0 with 1gig ram and 100GB hard drive about an hour ago. I love this thing. Its my first Apple so Im just exploring right now, but I'll be transfering some data here pretty soon.

DAMM people ive gotta wait till the 5th April for mine.
Can not wait im new to MAC so hopefully be ace

I want one too, but I think I may keep the old G4 and get a mini and a imac instead...
