Hey,
You probably get these "My MBP is coming soon!" threads very often, but this one's super special because it's mine.
I just ordered a 2.4ghz 15" MBP. A couple of questions:
1) FedEX said it would come on Tuesday at 10:30AM. Can it come earlier? (It has already arrived at a nearby airport from China.)
2) If I want to play a game like BioShock, will I need 4GB for reasonable play? (I got a 7200rpm hard drive and 2GB.)
3) I didn't order AppleCare with it because it's cheaper on ebay. Can I wait a year and then buy AppleCare off ebay and get an extra 3 years for a total of 4 years? or will I just get 3 years total? Is any of that possible?
4) What's the cheapest external hard drive to use? Is there a such thing as a bluetooth external hard drive?
5) Which Windows operating system should I get? I will really just be using it for games. Does that mean XP Pro?
6) I know the problems with mighty mouse--if I'm going to play games, should I not buy one?
7) Can my MBP display at a higher resolution on my 22" monitor that supports 1680x1050?
8) Can I close my MBP's screen while it's plugged into a monitor and continue to work?
9) What's the quickest way of transferring data from my PowerBook G4 (broken) hard drive to this one? I have some important college admissions essays and other things on there.
10) Are the standard 1-year warranty and AppleCare warranty the same?
That's a lot... you can pick and choose if you want!
Thanks for any replies!
