Wanted to cop the SSDs but a grand extra? The hell outta here with that price Apple. Shame on you. I know this time next year the SSD will be standard and I will be sad that I bit the dust but w/e I needed a new macbook.

mix 1 part alcohol to one part water and you're good. Don't use windex or anything harsh. If you feel the need to pay for something, Klear Screen works fine. It's just watered down alcohol though

I was thinking about getting a new MBP, but with the iPad 2 coming out I was thinking of using that as a laptop. Do you guys think thats a good idea??

not at all. iPad 2 and MBP aren't even in the same league of computational power and utility. Do you have another computer that the iPad can supplement?

How do I know if it turns on?
The only thing that works is the battery indicator. The screen is black.

you can hear the HDD boot up when you turn it on
 
Just Copped one of the new Pros (13') can anyone suggest some stuff for me. I would like to know about the how to change up my dock, what are the best apps to get. And other friendly pointers. I am very new to Apple life and honestly I am a bit unsure of the transition, I had to cop because my PC (which I am currently using) is starting to go out on me and I know I need to invest ina computer with better battery life. My GF also has a MAC and has always said great things about it so I figured I might as well try it
 
planning on getting a mbp soon but hoping they will bring back the free ipod touch and printer deal with purchase... anyone know if/when that will happen? thanks
 
@cwrite oh you mean that annoying sound(not the chime) when you start it up? Nope I did not hear anything.
