MacBook Pro Now Shipping Plus Speed Bump
According to a press release, Apple has started shipping the new MacBook Pro. In addition to the shipping announcement, the new machine is also being offered in 1.83 (up from 1.67) & 2.0 Ghz (up from 1.83) variants of the Intel Core Duo, Apple has also added a 2.16 Ghz build-to-order option on the portable.
We are incredibly excited to start shipping the MacBook Pro, a groundbreaking new notebook with dual-processor desktop performance in a thin, sleek design, said Philip Schiller, Apples senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. The new MacBook Pro includes even faster Intel Core Duo processors than originally announced, up to 2.16 GHz, and we think customers are going to love them.
MacBook Pro, announced January 10 as the replacement for the aging PowerBook, features a full-size backlit keyboard, AirPort Extreme wireless networking (802.11b/g), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, ExpressCard/34 slot, dual-link DVI video out, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and optical digital and analog audio in/out.Top Rated Comments

Where's my free upgrade??
Yeah. I don't see it on my order. I would assume that they would upgrade us by default. Otherwise, I will cancel. I think I'm gonna call.

This NEVER happened in the G4 world. I am very happy (assuming they didn't ship me the slower one anyways).

you've got to love their marketing. "even faster than we thought".
the 0.16GHz are basically a 8% faster chip. that translates probably into a 4% faster machine. for $300!:rolleyes:

If you go for the 2.16 Ghz CPU upgrade, the US Store says 'shipping 1-3 business days' otherwise its still 3-4 weeks! Waiting for the UK store to get updated.

Dell's asking $550 for that same upgrade at their BTO, but minus the $150 to get to 2Ghz, its only $400. so.. it looks to be a standard upgrade price, or below.
