Hi,

 

if possible please wait until the launch of the new OSX 10.5, it's worth to wait.

 

Regards

Bernd

 

 

I was told that I get a free upgrade when its released

Do you know when 10.5 is expected?

On Apple - Mac OS X Leopard , it says October... so only two more months

 

Best,

Caveat Emptor,

 

You should know that there is an an issue with the screens of the new 15 inch MBPs... yellow screens, esp in bottom third.

 

This applies to both matte and glossy screens, and both sources, Samsung and LG, though the Samsung screens are more faulty. Don't know if it applies to the 17 inch.

 

Now, it may be that the faulty screens are being flushed out of the system.

 

To discover more, got to http://www.macrumors,com ... then click the "Forums" tab ... then enter the wor "yellow" in the Search panel.

I just replaced my 2.16 NBP with a new 15 inch glssy 2.4 MBP amd the differnce is really amazing in speed but I also bought a stock unit than bought 4gb of ram than bought a Hitachi 200bg 16 mg cache 7200 drive and that is what is making a big differnce is the 16mg cache , now 4gb is nothing to sneeze at either and I have no yellow cast as was reported, I checked before I left the store. have to say i have a MacPro desktop 2.66 dual-core with 6gb of ram but the dual core 2 in the Macbook Pro is embrassing it, i guess the 2 version is a huge step up
