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!
