It means that Apple is going to piss off a bunch of Pro-Users this week . . .

Calm down... with anything there is bound to be defects.

indeed, 2 problems shouldn't yield massive panic.

Did you try reinstalling the OS (after running the Hardware Test to see if everything is OK)?

It's common practice to have stock for replacements. They're simply underpromising on the delivery date. My Macbook which is at my house at this moment isn't set to ship for ano…

I went through three iBooks before I was satisfied... lol

Well let's see how well they over-deliver on under-promising. I am in the same boat as SP in terms of how their customer care have bungled the faith of a loyal Mac user.

It's simple. They're waiting to ship the working 2.16s until they can ship mine.

People with faulty Xbox 360s had new units in a week and those are still hard to come by. Don't sweat it.

Dang! *moves the monitor away from his MBP* Sorry to hear that dude.

Ahh. I really do hope you get your replacement soon. From what I hear you should indeed be pleased when you finally recieve it. Good luck. Keep us posted

That sucks bad. I am going to make sure I let my machine reach room temperature before I fire it up because it has been really cold here where I live. I don't want to risk a sho…

My fullest sympathies. Nobody wants a dead tool out of the box, especially after a great deal of enthusiasm.

Wow, this thread is *officially* depressing... I sure hope my 1.83GHz MacBook Pro arrives in better shape.

Have both of you (sp and ///Millen) with the problems tried re-seating the RAM yet? It could have been badly installed and worked loose in transit. That would be the first thing I …

I tried resetting everything, incl. the power. Everything listed on the troubleshooting page to talking to a Mac Genius. IT'S DEAD.

That's nothing. I got two dead "refurbished" powerbooks in a row. One of them had coke stains on the inside of the case, and came without a power adaptor, CDs, manuals, etc... I ha…

Got mine today and I had some strange things happening at first. First, it's running really slowly, and I realize that EVERY application on the machine (imported with migration man…
