Custom Configurations At Local Apple Store?

Unfortunately you are not able to get the 7200 rpm drive at the Apple store, it's only available online.

You can only get them( cto) from apple online store. Apple walk in stores dont carry ctos.
Hope this helps...
I wish they did tho...

Cheers

Hi Troy,

This is not a correct statement. Read my profile below to see the configuration I bought from Newport Beach Apple store. Of course I added another 1GB of ram, and the price of the computer was 2899.00. so it was 400.00 more.

You can definitely get the 2.16 Ghz + 7200RPM 100GB HDD config at the Apple Store.

Interestingly, your best bet is if you have several stores around-- in my case the White Plains, NY store swore up and down that the 2.16 models were not available in-store, a quick call to the Palisades store in Nyack proved that was not true-- so I was able to pick up the above config there.

Now, if you wanted another CPU version and the 7200RPM drive -- you have to go CTO.

Good luck,

JT

Contrary to what some are saying here, I called the Salem, NH Apple Store yesterday about the 2x512 memory stick option on the MBP 2.0. I was told that the MBP is only available (in the box) in the standard build of the three models, 1.83, 2.0, and 2.16. Optional items like HD and memory would have to be ordered online or by telephone with Apple Sales.

Hey Peter,
You are correct Sir! I'm seeing more and more people getting the 7200 drives in store. It would seem I need to keep my mouth shut a little more until I have evidence.
Thanks man!
