I think as long as it isn't a BTO, you should be able to return it within 14 days with a restocking fee, that I heard can be waived if you ask nicely.
I agree with some people, it's definitely more of a iPod/Music/Movie event, NOT A COMPUTER ONE! so everyone wanting a Merom MBP can just......... be disappointed? I would love them to come tomorrow too, but the fact is, i don't think they are.
By the way, i hope it's new Nanos, really, i do.

November-Feburary is the timeframe that i would count on seeing it. I dont think apple cares much about what dell is shipping, the average dell consumer isnt going to switch to a MBP. I would be surprised to see anything beyond an ipod and other media related items tomorrow, its not a computer event.

You don't need an event, nuff said.

I am counting on it...if they don't come tomorrow however, I think FOR SURE they will come on the next tuesday or the 26th...if not, I'm switching to PCs...because that would be ridiculous is they don't have a Core 2 out by then but every other PC manufacturer does...
I could care less weather or not the MBP's get merom. I just want a fresh new one that works properly when turned on.

I totally disagree. I am an average dell user getting more and more frustrated (there are actually a group of 6 or 7 of us) that the Core 2 hasn't come to Mac yet. We all want to get MBP's for school and we need them by the end of september or we have to get new PC's

Many of us are banking on the Merom based MBP being a REV B with the many problems fixed - finally.
I would appreciate the magnetic closure and fast swap hard drive bay. A better gpu would be a big plus. The Merom's performance gains are nice but not my big issue.
Like you: "a fresh new one that works properly when turned on" is the main issue.
You hit the nail on the head my friend.Apple Corps said:

It's been in twice, due for a third doctor's visit. As near as I can tell, third time's the charm... and they just replace it. *fingers crossed*

I disagree as well, and Gizmodo says it best...

Will I be looking at the store obsessively during my entire physics lecture tomorrow? Yes (freshman physics as a senior, what a bad idea that's been). Do I expect a shiny new MBP to show up any time tomorrow? No, not at all. I expect it by month's end, though.
i totally agree. school has already started in most places so how many people need them by today? Even if they upgrade today, I'll be waiting a month anyways to assure there are no problems, especially overheating. And to contemplate if i should wait for santa rosa or not.
I have come to this about tomorrow ... NO MEROM NO CARE !!!!
lol that has been my saying all weekend after my brother keeps shoving his MB in my face and saying you wish you had one. hes not a nice brother.

Not Going To Happen!
It's pretty obvious to me. Forget about MBP's tomorrow. As much as I wish... The cold, hard light of day is going to shine tomorrow - and not on the merom MBP.
