Wow, you actually paid Apple to give you 4gigs of ram? Hey since money seems to have no value to you could you send me some?

Nice, I run a 2.4Ghz with a after market 4GB upgrade and I love it. I am amazed at how powerful this machine is for its size.

Welcome to the 2.4Ghz MBP Team!

Since it's technically a custom configuration, it will probably ship from China, which means your wait-time will probably be on the order of a week, maybe slightly less.

Just got mine.

Same config, order was placed 7/25 and I received it 8/1.

Through our corporate purchasing agreement 4GB of ram ended up costing less than buying 3rd party ram. Downside was it had to ship from China which adds a bout 3 days.

Matte or Glossy Screen?

I ordered a a matte and then I ordered a glossy for one of my guys. I setup on the matte last week and then put the glossy up next to it today and decided that I liked the glossy better so I migrated over the the glossy and gave the matte to other guy after I reinstalled OSX.
