Apple released the new updated Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro on Tuesday. After having been waiting for it for many months now, I decided to order it online within a couple of seconds. The good news is that it was shipped. The bad news is that it’s a weekend, so I probably would not get it until next week. I’m glad that it’s shipped by FedEx Express and not FedEx Home/Ground (I think the Home/Ground services are being handled by a contractor at a different terminal in Duncansville). I have never had a problem with FedEx Express before, and I hope that it will stay that way *knocking on wood*. See my previous blog entry below to see why I loathe FedEx Ground (I’m still waiting for that printer I bought with Macbook Pro). The irony here is that the printer was shipped two days (from PA) before the laptop (from Shanghai), but it seems that I would get the laptop at least two weeks before I actually get the printer (judging from the past experience, I do not expect to get a call from FedEx regarding that misdelivered package).

On a sidenote, someone already posted a benchmark for the laptop here.

She will be my first Mac ever, and I can’t wait to get my hands on her!
