Just wondering...

I have mbp on the way and i was looking on my fed ex tracking page. It said that my package weight 4.4 kg which if am not mistaken means its almost 10lbs and i know the mbp weights 5lbs atleast. The question is what is the other 5lbs, because i only ordered the mbp and the apple care. By the way got it on student discount.

 

Well, there's also the charger, and the CDs, and the packaging and the documents that come with the Mac. And there's also the styrofoam that protects the MBP inside the box. And the MBP is about 5.4 pounds.

So yeah, it adds up. But I don't recall my MacBook box weighing 10 lbs...maybe 6-7 but 10 is a bit high. Then again it is a MacBook Pro, so it has a larger box.

 

maybe when you open it up youll find out they gave you a free accessory?

 

"For being so patient, we've included 3 iPhones inside the MBP box!"

That'd be awesome .

 

I was thinking it was a printer since i got it off student discount.

 

In the box:
MacBook Pro
85W MagSafe Power Adapter
AC wall plug and power cord
Lithium-polymer battery (included in the 5.4lbs)
Apple Remote
DVI to VGA adapter
2 OSX Install DVDs
1 iLife 08 upgrade DVD depending on shipment
1 iWork 08 trial DVD depending on shipment
Printed and electronic documentation
Card inserts and etc.

Packaging: 2 styrofoam enclosures, 1 styrofoam keyboard protector, 1 styrofoam protective wrap, cardboard box for manuals and DVDs

AppleCare comes separately in its own envelope.

Printer comes in a separate box.

iPod comes in a separate box.

 

Aren't there also two Apple stickers, taelrak?

 

D'oh - I forgot the most important part :/

Actually I'm sad...I didn't get extra stickers when I got my AEBS cheapskates!

 

SO ur saying all this comes with it free?

 

Yeah, its all part of the box. Well, not the iPod and the printer.

 

but ipod and printer are still included?

 

Its not free for everyone. If you filled out the iPod promotion and Printer promotion (when it was running, and if you qualify) then you will get the iPod and printer. Its free for Students who bought their Mac in the back-to-school season before September 16th.

 

Well i did buy it before deadline, but i didnt fill anything out tho. so i guess i dont get a printer or ipod.

 

You actually had to go and order the printer and ipod as part of the same order.

You get the $300 back after you receive everything and fill out rebate forms.

You could try calling customer support and and being really persuasive to see if they're willing to edit your order to make it so all 3 items are part of the same order - although I'm not sure if that's possible anymore if it's already shipped and the order's been closed, but you can try. I had a problem with one of the parts of my order, and they were willing to edit it - but then, my case was simply a case of changing printer models...
