No, when I was looking at apple canada for mine, I saw 2.6, but they
were custome builds and it would have taken forever to get one.

Maybe, but either way that info is wrong. Try 8 processors on the
Mac Pro tower.

Well, now, Good Old Lewy!!! Let's be fair.. :) If speakers
don't
matter, and if you prefer the smaller laptop, the Macbook is
awesome.
It, too, can have up to 4GB of ram, and I do not see any
differences
between a 2.4GB and a 2.1GB processor. For Old Shaney here, a
Macbook
is the best bang for the buck, no doubt. Now, if speakers do
matter
to you, and you want the better graphics card, go Pro. I still
couldn't justify that much money, though. For me, it's Macbook
standard all the way. I'm gonna update the ram, the hard
drive, and
whatever else I can. Give me a good microphone, a very good
pair of
headphones, and I have myself a Macbook Pro without actually
buying
one for all that extra cash.

actually the specification of the macbook pro beets the

delivers better performance for the money. I owned a macbook
and 2
weeks later sent it back for my now studio notebook for touring
with. my macbook pro 2.4 with 4GB ram and 200GB drive is
amazing.
much better than the macbook standard, more powerful, friendly
and
louder speakers with decent quality

But is it really worth getting the MacBook Pro over the regular
MacBook? The specs seem to be about the same. And the pro
costs so
much more in comparison.
Thanks in advance,

Heh dood, you might just hate this idea, and I wouldn't
blaim you
in the slightest, but have you looked at ebay? They have
2.4 ghz
macbook pro units brand new going for, well last time I
checked
about $1800, compaired with about $2500 in the apple store
here in
TO.
If you're going to pay top dollar either in store or via
phone,
then go store. The store has way more going for it. Want an
apple compadible tv tooner usb or firewire device? The
store has
several. Case? Bluetooth keybord? Fusion? Questions
about how
to do something on a mac? Want to take a coarse in
leppard? You
can't do any of that over the phone, but you can do it all
in the
store.
Want to bring your thing in for service? Form a
relationship with
the ppl who work in the store. It's a huge investment. I
bought
mine from a third party because of funding, but I'd love to
get
to meet people in my friendly neighbourhood apple store at
this
point now that I'm accessorizing.

Erik

I was about to get my MacBook, but wanted to know people's
opinions. Should I just get it directly from a local Apple
store,
or call the toll free number or what to get it? And, is
there
any cheaper way to get one than Apple, and still get one
new?
And one thing I never had answered was the glossy screen.
Does
that cause any problems with someone sighted who may be
looking
at it? Or someone vvisually impaired for that matter. Any
thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
