This is the same spec MBP i got for xmas, and i love it can't fault it at all.

It's very quiet, very fast, looks amazing, feels really nice to type. I installed windows xp on it today, and the process couldn't be any easier. All you had to do was run bootcamp assistant, it tells you how big you want to partition the drive, reboot with xp and install. When you get to windows, put in leapord cd and it automatically installs all the drivers, you don't have to do anything!

As for the mac to windows shortcuts 2 fingers on touchpad and click for right click, command+backspace for delete, it's really no hassle at all to get used to it.

Oh and WoW works awsome on it, so smooth at max res :D

Kidding! Do you need Windows or do you just want it for games?

Yep, welcome to Apples slow delivery. One thing you have to get used to when ordering with Apple.

The Macs come from Shanghai usually and refurbs from Ireland iirc. It takes forever if you order any accessories as the Mac and accessories come from different places and have to 'merge in transit'.

But yeah, took two weeks for my MacBook Pro to come, although Apples tracking page is useless as it came way before the estimated delivery date (bare in mind it took two weeks because I ordered the day they were released).

Use Apecode to track with your 80xxxxxxxx number for proper tracking.

yes I do have a few goodies with it and do have merge in UK on the trcking page , still its better than 6 months for a new car that was built 30 miles down the road ( Toymota ), or 12 weeks for a new lathe thats only 5 miles away the rub with the car was they charged the same del as if I was at the other end of the country

The sticky has a good pick of "Essential apps"

Also, there's a beginners guide to installing/deleting apps, running Windows on the Mac and a few handy FAQs :)
