Isnt it weird how Apple has already shipped MBPs out to some people who ordered it and yet there is no reviews for it from any of the major media?

Doesnt Apple send the review units before they start shipping to the end-users so the reviewers get some time with it and post their thoughts on or before the day the end-user can buy the product?

I think Apple is rushing to get these out the door. The ones consumers are getting are probably fresh off the assembly line, due in part because Apple likely just recently decided on the final product.

There's already more end-users wanting to buy this product than Apple can handle. Creating even MORE press might lead to more people frustrated that they can't get a MBP!

...or the super secret battery life is not what we all are hoping for, and Apple doesn't want to spoil the surprise.

True. I'm very curious about the battery life!
