I just noticed at the apple online store it says that the Macbook Pro is now in stock. Has anybody here ordered them or gotten them in?

My order was 2 days after the keynote (had to wait for the hold to clear, since I cancelled my first order, and was ordering a new one under an EPP).. says it won't ship until the 15th.

Battery Life at Normal Settings with 75% Brightness, Bluetooth On, Wifi On, etc.

3:31...under normal settings

hoping at least 4 to 5...

That's pretty much what I see on my Powerbook. Shame as I would have wanted better battery life

Yeah, but if you put the screen at 30% brightness (comparable to your PowerBook) and the speed to 1 GHz (comparable to your PowerBook) you might come to more battery life.

... I'll wait for further reports before judging... The _real_ need for intel PowerBooks (MacBook Pro) was the speed. Battery life was at least okay. This can be tackled later.
