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…

Keep in mind that many of us are still waiting for our units we ordered while the Keynote was ending. As such, anyone who got a damaged one was lucky to get one when they did (jus…

My Order was placed on Feb 15 and is listed with an estimated ship date of March 16, putting it at the outside of "3-4 weeks." We will see how long it actually takes to get to me. …

I hope for his sake you're right Steve.
