Excellent, I hope it does fix the freezing issue mentioned in the Apple support forum thread, which my machine suffered from. Basically, every few days it would completely freeze, usually while I was moving the mouse around viewing a web page. I ins…

Excellent news. Carrousel du Louvre is a great location (that and Champs Elysees are the prime locations to have) and while Fnac always have a good range of Macs on display it's about time Apple retail stores embrace Europe more wholeheartedly.

Umm, sure it's not just somebody editing the browser string on their web browser and/or changing their Display system preferences to a funny resolution? I can switch my MBP to 640x480, 720x480 (stretched) and a whole lot more for example.
