    I was wondering what kind of accessories I can get for my new notebook, and where to get them (Canadian or US).
    Mainly looking at:
    - Screen Protector/Keyboard and Palmrest
    - Dock

    What other accessories can I get for it?

    The are no official accessories that fit into the categories you listed. And probably won't ever be.

    I know marware makes palmrest protectors, and if you check the apple online store they have silicone ones for the keyboards. I dont know about the screen, mainly because I've never seen/head of them for ones laptop sized. Generally theyre pretty protected when the laptop is closed, but yea even if they did make them, theyd be a pain to put on because of air bubbles and stuff.

    But as of this moment, I dont think that there are any (or few) accessories for the new mb/mbp's. Mainly because they just came out. I'm sure once they've been out for a bit, the companies that make the accessories will have had time to get the dimensions, test and create products for the new ones. I'd give it 1-2 months if they rush it, 3-4 if they're lazy.

    I wasn't into apple laptops when they introduced the previous design of the MBP (intel), but someone from back then may be able to tell you how long it took them back them to make them. Might apply to today.
