I got my MBP back!!
It took exactly 10 working days. I had a call on sunday at 4pm saying 'Your MBP is ready. Please come to the apple store and pick it up'.

I couldn't go on sunday so I went there on monday. It took 10 minutes for them to fetch my MBP. Other than the wait, it was a smooth process.

But my MBP still has the whine!!!!!!

Damn you Apple!!!
p.s. I bought an eyeTV diversity while I was in the store...
