    Anyone saw this on amazon? It is available for pre-order now.
    With 2.66GHz, and 4GB ram,320GB hard drive, and a slightly decreasing in weight(6.6lb) going at $2794 on US amazon website. It seems like it is already available from Apple store, but not yet on amazon.

    Pricey, but worth it if you ask me. The power consumption is really low on this thing. Time to get my credit card out...

    The only thing that I like about it is the battery and resolution. I think I will either get a MacBook and wait for apple to update the mbp with better battery and rez, or just buy a base mbp right now. I'm not in a rush, but whatever I buy will have to last me at least 3 years. I'm gonna quit all the gadget spending. I'm saving up for early retirement. Provence! ^_^
