    hey i have been trying to look around on the net for the chinese price (CNY) for both of the new 15" MBPs and havent turned up with any luck.

    1. i was wondering how much these machines are in the Apple stores in China?

    2. if the keyboard, or version of OS X is different?

    3. has China recieved the new smaller chargers?

    Thanks in advance, the most important question being price.

    You can bargain but at the same time it's not all that much cheaper (for tech stuff in general)

    Pointless post.

    Back on topic. 18200CYN for the 2.2GHZ MBP is about $2600. So if you are purchasing it there, be sure to bargain for awhile. I don't know whether or not they will drop the price $600 to at least match the retail price of the MBP here.

    hmm doesnt seem to be worth it price wise because i can get the edu discount here in australia. damn, was hoping to get the 2.4 Ghz version for the price of the 2.2Ghz, wishful thinking i guess.

    wish i knew someone going to america.
