Still no MacBook Pro, but…

I have been waiting to buy a MacBook Pro until Apple fixed the few issues that have been reported on the first MacBook’s. After the release of a new revision that claimed to fix these problems, I ordered a 15.4” 2GHz MacBook Pro with 2GB Ram and 100MB 7200rpm hard.

A few days later I read at the Mac1.no site that the new 17” MacBook Pro was released. I had of course heard the rumours that it was expected, but I guessed it would be too expensive. It wasn’t.

For about 185 kroner (about $30) more I get a larger screen, faster processor, one extra USB port, one FireWire800 port and a 8x SuperDrive compared to a 4x on the 15,4”. My Mac dealer let me change the order so now I’m waiting for my 17” MacBook Pro. The drawback is that I have to wait a couple of weeks longer until I get my new laptop, but I hope it’s worth it!

The wait is finally over...

When I first heard the news about that the new MacBook will ship in February, my first reaction was, “I'm have to have one as soon as possible!

But maybe I should wait until the first update comes? Will it have an 8x SuperDrive as the old PowerBooks? What about the missing FireWire 800? It honestly doesn’t worry me that much as the reportedly problem with the heat.
