I'm pretty sure that with the macbooks, upgrading the RAM and harddrive does not void the warranty, so if you had trouble I think you could still get help. A while back a mac genius told me I needed to upgrade my RAM on my old iBook, but he showed …

Tailpipe: Thanks for the advice, but I'm done waiting. Even if there was no delay, it would still be nearly two months before a release, and I just don't want to wait anymore. I will be served just fine with what I have ordered, and frankly, as I…

I LOVE this story. Amazing and hilarious at the same time: what could be better?

I don't know about that specific pack; I've ordered a Speck clear hard case and am considering a ProTouch Keyboard protector. I think they will serve me fine.

I did it. I bought a refurb penryn. Can't wait to get it!

Well, it seems I spoke too soon about waiting, lol. Montevina, delayed?! Ugh. I think I'm going to buy now. It will be a huge step up for me regardless (I'm currently on a 1.07 Ghz iBook with a 133 mHz bus speed). I don't want to wait until A…

Does it always take apple a month or more to implement and release new chips? In other words, is it pretty for-sure that it won't be until August that a montevina MB and MBP will see the light of day?
-
NOOOOOOO!!!! Ah well. I guess that puts the nail in the coffin of my waiting. If I waited until August, I would then say heck, might as well wait for Nehelem. And I do NOT want to wait six months from now. On the brink of ordering a refurb P…

Definately wait! Even if they don't announce anything at WWDC, they will be upgraded sometime this summer with Montevina. Plus, they will most likely have their usual summer buy-a-mac-get-an-ipod promotion.

So are we assuming that the MBP and the MB will be updated at the exact same time? Both are going to get a refesh with Montevina, but lets say all the rumors are true and both are getting case redesigns. Would that happen at the same time?

I don't think Apple will offer blu-ray standard anytime soon; I mean heck, even now the baseline macbook doesn't even have a super drive! I think blu-ray will be offered as an extra (expensive) option first in mac pros, and then trickling into the …
