Just ordered the 12' Superdrive . I am reserving the 15' for the coming G5 since I already have the last batch of Ti Combo drive(bought it August of last year).

Well, Looks like all the early adopters are going for the high end options here. No one buying into the slower 15" options. I guess that's not surprising, given that the vram/drive upgrade on the 15 was an excellent value.

Didn't Apple drop the price of the 15" by $100? It's like paying the same old price but with a better outlook on the future.

Ordered a 12" SD too. It's the perfect machine for me since portability is a top priority

I'm on a nice new 1.33 GHZ 12in. Mmm... now I even have OS X at my girlfriends place, so I no longer have an excuse not to hang out at her place. The 12in is just right in terms of size and power. For the college guy on the go.

I considered getting a 12" for the portability but am just too used to having a 15" PowerBook.

Can't wait for next Wednesday to get here!

I'm going to hold off on buying more RAM for a few months until I think I need it. 512's good enough right?
