Is the MBP 40 dollars?? Because it says 500GB MBP for $40.... "500 GB from $40.00" directly copied from above. Thanks!

Dear Nick, please beware that one of the seller is only selling the charger and listed it for $40 in USED section. He violated Amazon listing policy by not listing not against the detail page. Please report him.

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

"One of the posters claimed that this would cost 500+ dollars. I would think that the hard drive version could actually be cheaper."I think you should learn how to read. He means that if you want a 80GB+ device in the same size you will have to use flash and flash is expensive.

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

Lots of rumors in last day or two about the next refresh of Macbook Pro. As per the rumor mill:1. MBP will have a complete redesign with SSD (Solid State Drive) similar to the current Macbook Air.2. No optical drive3. Will have Intel Light Peak to connect peripherals4. More reliable as no moving parts, faster due to SSD instead of Hard disks, more efficient power consumption and so on.Boy, I never knew Mac world is whole new dimension away from Windows world. Never seen such buzz about a Windows model :) Seriously, I hope these rumors don't belong in the tinfoil hat territory.If any of these rumors is true, what about the price? Will Uncle Jobs jack up the prices? Lots of rumors in last day or two about the next refresh of Macbook Pro. As per the rumor mill:1.

The 640gb is supposed to be faster than the 750gb model, and from what I've seen it gets a higher percentage of 5-star reviews. Therefore it's probably a bigger selling drive, higher demand drives the price higher, it's just basic economics.

There's a 12% cash back available from LiveSearch on purchases from J&R; - lowered the price of the blue XP, 120GB version from $408 ($399 + $9 shipping) to $360. Ordered one yesterday - shipped today. Site now says "backordered" so I'm not sure of the best current deal (probably this one once they're back in stock. Good luck.

G For me a no-brainer, 64GB +500 GB. I bought my 64GB a month before they started offering the 500GB keyboard and asked if I could trade-up or buy just the HD keyboard. They don't offer either. If you want to store music, movies, some older games, etc. the 500 GB is absolutely the way to go.

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups... I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner. BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable! Fingers crossed on reliability, Yikesboy

Recieved my MBP 17" today. Ordered May 8th, received June 8th. Looks like Amazon has enough to fill backorders since the status of the MBP is that it ships within 24 hours. Hopefully it lasts for anyone who wants one. Loving mine so far (it does get a bit warm...)

No it was not... We wound up having to send our laptop back to ASUS ( we were 2 weeks out of warranty)( and had to be really forceful with customer service... They weren't very friendly about customer service) and have it replaced. It costs about $187 with labor.... They did provide S+H... And it was gone almost 3 weeks. When this laptop dies I'm going Apple...at least they have great customer service.

I think you have to buy directly from Apple for that. Check the Apple website. The price is the same.

I'm wondering the same exact thing. I saw another one by AJ Wholesale, but they're charging $599 for the 32GB one...so I'm just waiting when to hear from these guys. I hope it's not too long...I've Googled it and still can't find an answer.

"I'm a girl..." Oh no she di'nt... :)Seriously, where did you buy 2gb ram for only $60??? My tech guy recommends crucial.com, but it's $106 there not including shipping. thanks, chickadee

That is not accurate. The price is as listed. It is actually 750 GB because of a replacement done by Apple through an AppleCare warranty. I can post a picture of the system information to validate this if you would like.

I bought a chinese Superdrive knockoff, and it didnt work, so I spent the extra $$ and bought the Apple USB Superdrive here on Amazon (I had to install the NI bundle this way...sucks..) It works just fine.My advice is "what is another 30 or 40 bucks after spending a small fortune on this machine??" lol

Best Buy has been running 2 GB's for 54.99, online and in store - reg. 189.00 - it ends today. I haven't ck'd this am but they still had some yesterday afternoon. No rebates, they handle all those , finally a company that understands how frustrating getting those rebates actually mailed to you is - so the 54.99 is the pay for price, my state taxes + S&H; came to $64.64. Can't get 2GB's at that price anywhere. But check to see what your laptops max expansion is - my laptop has a 4GB max - some have NONE.
