    I bought a Macbook 10 days before the REFRESH models with Penryn and more RAM came out. I paid restocking so I could take it back and get the new one. I snapped a few quick unboxing photos of the new one but I really appreciate your photos. One thing that is missing now is the remote. I can tell yours is the REFRESH because there's no remote. No big deal. I'd rather have faster CPU, more HDD, more RAM and longer battery life (Penryn CPU) than the remote anyway.

    Wow, that is quite a lot of pictures, but they are nice, though it takes me 2 seconds to figure out the date.
    I have the macbook pro and I love it. Hope that you like your macbook too.

    Very nice pictures. How hard was it to apply the screen protector? I was thinking of ordering one for myself, but I am not sure I would be able to get all the bubbles out. I had a hard enough time putting one on my iPhone.

    Congrats on your purchase. I'm a complete Apple convert thanks to my macbook. Enjoy! I haven't had any problems with this computers, it's good to know that your computer won't crap out on you when you need it.

    its not very hard to put the protector. the smaller ones for palm rest, etc are a piece of cake to put on.
    the one on top and bottom of mac is a bit tricky.
    I did it carefully & was able to get it on with a few air bubbles.......but felt irritated seeing those.........then got an idea :p i pricked the bubbles carefully with a needle :D and the air bubbles were gone :cool:

    Kaushal, I understand your excitement, but I want to remind of the NotebookReview Forums policy that states you shouldn't constantly double post :). If you feel you need to add in something new, you can Edit your existing post, thanks!

    Hi Kaushal,

    I mean as in, you see above my post, its been your posts for around 6-7 posts, with no other members' posts in between them, so usually, if you want to post something new, you can instead edit an existing post instead of posting a new reply :).

    And how much of a performance improvement did you notice? And was it worth the price difference that you paid? :rolleyes:
