MacBookPro
I finally received my MacBookPro and in fact I am pretty pissed.
It took 6! months to get the damn thing, on top of that it is NOT querty which means a big adaptation to me, since I am so used to querty (and it is so much more logic to do coding. Who the hell invented azerty and why do Belgians need it??)
Next to that, when it was ordered, back in Feb. the MacBookPro was still 1.83 Ghz. You'd think they'd do a free upgrade to the model as announced after the release of the MacBook, and for sure after getting such a large order from my school (Atleast 20 macs arrived today...) But no, ITPro apparently took it as an advantage to get rid of the old models...
So I got a 1.83 Ghz model.
Whining included.
I tell you. I could cope with all the rest: the 15inch, which is HUGE, the azerty keyboard, even the 1.83 Ghz.
But the whining???
That's why I am pissed and won't stop whining about it myself...
It is like getting an old p4 making an awful lot of noise...
Luckily Apple recognizes the whining problem...
So let's cross fingers Apple releases their iPhone this month, so I can go and get one and forget about this whining MBP...
Question to Mac Intel Owners: Adium keeps on crashing. What do you use instead to run your MSN chats?

Posted by Lokkison | August 2, 2006 10:46 AMthere isn't a strip, thanks for the tip. Although I heard of it, I didn't check for it yet.

If I were you, I would have cancelled my original order around the time when the faster models came out. I wouldn't expect your local retail store to give you the "free" upgrade. Azerty keyboard is "designed" for the French language. Couldn't you have ordered the MacBook Pro with an English style keyboard (which generally is QWERTY).
