Hi,
As my sig states, I currently have a Toshiba laptop and have always been a PC user, and like lots of others, I'm jumping in the Apple train.
I ordered a 12" iBook from the Apple online store, with the 80gb hard drive upgrade, since doing it myself would require disassembling the whole thing. As for the memory, I know it's not too complicated so I'll wait for the money to be available.
I'm wondering, is there anyone who has had problems with getting a pre-upgraded machine from apple, since I've heard that they have to disassemble it themselves, as the machines are all pre-built? I mean could I have a less reliable machine because it has been handled by some random Apple technician?
Thanks

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Mac.
I can't answer your question directly because both my Macs (12" PB and G4 iMac) were stock. However, I've been a subcriber to Apple's forums for years and have not seen a post about bto machines having unique problems.
Enjoy.

I ordered 2GBs with my iMac and have found no problems with it. My friend has a 14" iBook and had the RAM upgraded to 1GB and has experienced no problems as well.

Okay , thanks, that'll help me getting through that ****ed waiting period, I can't stand it.
1~3 days to prepare and ship
3~8 days of transit until it reaches my door
!!! It's so bad !!! Apple ships from the USA to Canada, they don't have warehouses in Canada
I'm daydreaming of it now!
Well, seems I can just wait. -
at least you were able to build to order with an upgraded HD. I got mine stock cause thats all i could afford at the time, but this summer i want to upgrade the HD, and since you pretty much have to dissasemble the entire notebook, i am really debating on whether to do it myself or not.

Welcome Aboard you won't regret it -
RadcomTxx: Yeah, I almost got it stock for the same reasons, but I couldn't figure out how to live with only 40 gigs!!! So I cought up the additional dough...
gridtalker: thanks, I'm eager to wet myself! It still ISN'T shipped today, I guess they'll take the maximum of 3 days before sending it, which is mondayThen, there's still about a week of waiting. I CAN'T wait...
Getting aboard...
