just a quick note to all those waiting... i'm not totally sure on this (but have eliminated all other feasible options it seems) but working with the macbook air makes your hands (and fingers I guess) all glittery... at least mine are sparkling in that silvery shine from the notebook it seems.. so get all excited cause you'll have never felt as feminine before... :D:D

I think the Fedex tracking website caches the results so that it stays responsive as you all hammer it looking for updates. :)

When I track my order (1.8/SSD/15th@4pm) on the Fedex site, the last thing I see is that it left Anchorage at 7:46PM yesterday.

When I track it on www.simpletracking.com I can see some more updated results, looks like it arrived in San Francisco this morning at 3:40AM.

I haven't tried simpletracking.com before now (just discovered it via google) but it seems to have some more recent info.

In my quest to track my package even more efficiently I found this www.sixteenseven/tracktapp/ for the iPhone that has better updated progress then fed-ex, same results as simpletracking.

Well how can it arrive 2 hours after it departed? Did the plane go in a loop? Do you think our Air's left Memphis?

I don't think these timestamps are very accurate. I'm guessing they arrived in Memphis (together) earlier than 3:55 and then parted ways at some later time on their respective next legs.

So yes, I would think they have left Memphis. I don't trust the times too much but I think the events (i.e. having departed Memphis) are probably pretty accurate. Don't think they'd say it departed if it didn't. But I guess we'll see.

It almost seems possible we'll have them tomorrow - definitely Tuesday.

I'd say tomorrow. I don't know why your projected date would be Weds. Usually FedEx delivers a day early, but usually not two days early. This may be an exception. I just figured your air would've had to hit a major hub in Indy or Memphis for clearing purposes, though.

Myself and a number of other people who have posted here. Have bought the Waterfield Sleeve size 13-2.

This was not my first Waterfield. I received my MBA sleeve earlier this week, and it's great. Great protection, good looking, very well made, and excellent customization options.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I hate the thought of getting a dent!

I would call Apple and make sure everything is okay with the order. My got delayed for two days (which I was unaware of) until yesterday because an idiot at Apple tried to place an overnight shipping charge (which he said was free) to a gift-card I had on the order (which caused it to go over by $2 and prevent the payment from going through since the gift-card as a limit obviously).

I had a similar experience, and it set me back about 4 days on the delivery. Evidently, there is a lag time until it hits the gift card, all the while you think you are "ok". Glad you caught it early. Hang in there!

But, thanks to someone who recommended simpletracking.com, I now know that my package is in Orlando (and not in Memphis as Fedex.com stated) - so, the MBA 1.8/64 will be a good consolation prize.

Did anyone here NOT order on the 15th?

I waited till Jan. 21st to order, and it still says it won't ship until Feb. 12th. Seems like a long time (more than 3 weeks after the order). I did get a custom configuration (1.6 w/ SSD), but I wouldn't think that would slow things down too much.

I'm pretty patient, but I am curious if anyone else who ordered "late" has had their MBA shipped.

Something is off in your stuff, maybe the individual paperwork and machine with a substitute clearance document are not hooked up to each other yet or something.

I'm in the exact same status as you. I weather doesn't look that bad in Shanghai at the moment. Very frustrating... Currently, it's 10:17AM Monday morning in China and hopefully we will see some movement soon.

I see we are sharing flight accommodations. It is nearly 24 hours since I last posted and still have no updated information available on any tracking service. The press has not reported any aviation incidents. There is a possibility that the power outages in Shanghai might have affected the airport and surrounding areas as power might be directed to residential areas that have been without power over a week. Another eight to ten hours should show an update on the tracking page. :confused:

Yeah i know, its so weird. Maybe tommorow morning i'll have a surprise on fedex.com saying its on a delivery truck in Ottawa, CAN. :D (I WISH!)

At first I thought that apple had given some orders for the macs to be all received the same day by their respective owners. But now that I joined theses forums and noticed about everyone's tracking status (and mine... so stupid!), I think thats not what's gonna happen.

mmm. Fedex doesn't update (nothing since yesterday) and simple tracking is completly out of is mind.:confused:

Why would my MBA do Memphis, then Indianapolis, then Hapeville (next to Atlanta) when in live in Ottawa, Canada... its going wrong way... and making detours. :mad: And why is it all of a sudden in Anchorage again ? I Think tracking is ******** !

Here's what it says :

Did anyone here NOT order on the 15th?

I waited till Jan. 21st to order, and it still says it won't ship until Feb. 12th. Seems like a long time (more than 3 weeks after the order). I did get a custom configuration (1.6 w/ SSD), but I wouldn't think that would slow things down too much.

I'm pretty patient, but I am curious if anyone else who ordered "late" has had their MBA shipped.

At this minute it hasn't shipped, but it is "prepared for shipment"
I ordered 1/21 at 12:35 pst

Mine's enroute from Indy to Chicago (where I live). What's weird is that it says it left the Indy Sort Facility at 1:03 (that's 12:03 Chicago time), which is almost 12 hours ago. No updates since then, just says "Left FedEx Sort Facility". I'm assuming the MBA got scanned out of the sort facility and into a truck, but the truck is staying in Indy for the night. At this point, it's doubtful I'll get it tomorrow, but you never know!

Maybe its not in Indy anymore. I think there's a lack of tracking updates. I remember when I ordered my iPod Nano (the week it came out, 1st (and shi*ty) version). I had something like, left apple, picked up by carrier, left california, then i got Toronto, then its was home. What happenned between california and Toronto (canada) ? lol!

I say wait for tommorow morning (open business day), maybe there will be a lot of tracking updates that will "pop-up". :cool:

While mine did have a mysterious delay (I'm assuming customs inspection), it has since both arrived, and then departed from Memphis, TN - so I expect to have it Tuesday sometime.

The SuperDrive and RJ45 adapter are already here.

Initial forecast was the Feb 6th ship, Feb 12th landing. I'm ok with a Feb 5 landing date.

"dest sort facility" seems to imply it's the final stop where it'll be loaded onto a truck, so you might actually get it today.

BTW: what happened to the nice list we had going earlier? It'd be nice if someone could compile and update that again, so we'll get an idea how fast the orders are shipping out.

Usually FedEx says these two last things when it gets close:

At local FedEx facility
On FedEx vehicle for delivery

So right now I think it is trucking down to Binghamton. There's plenty time for it to get down there, but the ticket still sez 2/6 by 4:30pm.

I don't think it will be delivered two days early, it will probably sit there for at least one day. Stuff for this area leaves Binghamton on the delivery trucks right about 9am but we're way east of that hub so they show up after 3pm

I don't know who made that list (on the American side? was there one, i only saw a euro one i think). anyway my order was 1/15 11:47AM PST 1.8/ssd and it left Shanghai 2/1 9:42pm

excerpt below from a 2/1 Marketwatch piece on the snow situation

====
Ice and snow have ground the country's transportation system to a halt, cut off coal supplies to electric plants, stranded millions of travelers and halted food shipments.

The storms have caused "a very serious hiccup in China's manufacturing engine," said David Riedel of overseas-stock specialist Riedel Research Group. "It's sort of like a Hurricane Katrina situation for them."

Just received my MBA! 1.8 SSD. I'm quite impressed with this little baby! Unlike when I got any other Mac I did not do migration assistant. I just had .mac sync my calendar, contacts and bookmarks and now I'm trying to figure out what I can get rid of stuff to maximize space. Not that I plan to try to put much on the HD but just want to get more than the 38.79 GB available when I first started it up. I will either remove languages and printers or reinstall.

When your format (erase) the entire drive by using the Install DVD that came with your computer and reinstalling Mac OS X. This is useful for removing applications you don't need that came with the computer or removing languages.

Ordered my 1.6/80 MBA on 1/15 at 3pm PST. Still listed as not yet shipped. Meanwhile others have theirs who ordered later. Ordered through the Educational Store- guess I'm at the back of the line. Listed as ships Feb 6, arrives Feb 12. Since I'm traveling on Feb 13, hope to have it by then as my 12" MPB is on its last legs. I'm looking forward to the lower weight- MPB has been to Japan, Brazil, Spain, Poland, Ireland, Australia and about 25 states. 2 pounds less weight times all those miles is a lot of energy savings.

Guys -

Got my new little puppy and I'm as happy as can be!

Already did a fresh install of OSX and saved about 6gb.

I am now installing Windows Vista (in a 20gb partition) via a desktop DVD drive connected with an IDE to USB adapter cable and the MBA recognized it as a bootable device! No need for me to purchase the superdrive!

Just wanted to let people know that this is an option -- and you can get the IDE to USB cable really cheap on eBay (REALLY Cheap as in a couple of bucks!)

Have fun guys!

Awesome!

I just checked Apple Order Status, and got super excited when I noticed something had changed... turned out though, that the extra power adapter I ordered switched to Prepared For Shipping, and not the Air yet. Darn.

On the other hand, the adapter was slated for shipping by February 19th... I figure anything going out before its ETA is a good sign!

Call FedEx and ask them to hold it for you. They'll pull it off the truck and you'll probably be able to pick up early evening.

FedEx has said that the driver told them my address didn't exist before so I've had to do just that in the past. I don't believe that Apple's "no pick up" rule applies in this case because it's a misdirected package. You'll just need ID to get it.

They have them in at the Apple Store in Jax which is a 5 hour drive from here round trip. They actually put one of the base models on hold for me. So, the caveat is I sacrifice my $100.00 discount that I got with my online order (ship date by 2/20) but...I can have it in my hands today! Of course, it means re-arranging the rest of my day and the drive and the gas $.
I've always been patient and ordered online or w/ Amazon (have an order with them too-gold box discount no less but still no telling when it will ship-blanket date of 3/27 still) to get the best price, but I'm thinking I may just take a road trip today and the heck with the $! I just once would like to walk out of an Apple store with a computer purchase and experience that instant gratification feeling

One question: if for some reason I needed to exchange it or return it, or if there was an issue with it, could I just call Apple support or would i have to drive all the way back to Jax?

Today's flight from Shanghai (FDX92) left about an hour and a half late, is scheduled to arrive in Anchorage @ about 1PM local time, which is 5PM EST. All of you who were worried about your tracking not showing any updated data for a couple of days (myself included) can probably calm down now, as I imagine it's probably this flight. We'll know once it hits the ground. I wouldn't expect it to get to Memphis in time to have computers out for delivery tomorrow, though, but who knows.

My MBA came today. The great news (1.8/80) after briefly looking at it is that it doesn't wobble, and the fan doesn't bother me at all- didn't notice much if any noise.

This was due to deliver on 02.06, so this is a real treat. The really cool thing was that I went to track it a few minutes ago, and it said delivered! I went to the front of the office to check this out, and literally, my receptionist was bringing it back to me and the front door was closing as the FedEx guy was leaving. That is some real time tracking!

Thanks for all your help.

I will check the other forums. I hope you all get yours quickly.

Simpletracking.com is THE way to go, much better/current/more accurate tracking information. If your info isn't showing up on FedEx.com's tracking site or if it seems "stuck" in one place, do try Simpletracking.com, I'm sure you'll see more info/progress.

what is xslimmer?

Xslimmer, the friendly way to right-size your apps without losing functionality.
Remove unnecessary code from fat binaries. Xslimmer determines which code your machine needs and removes the rest. This is achieved by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.
Strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.
Xslimmer not only frees space wasted by unused code, it can even increase your Mac's performance. Some of our users have reported applications loading in almost half the time, because OS X does not need to analyze Xslimmed applications in search for the most suitable version of the code.

See for yourself! Grab your copy of Xslimmer now and try it out for free until you free up to 50Mb.

I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of an extra update. On the tracking it was scanned as having left origin on Saturday, so that probably means it was scanned to go but waiting to be loaded. I don't think they scan again until it lands at the next step in the trip.

Ordered my 1.6/80 MBA on 1/15 at 3pm PST. Still listed as not yet shipped. Meanwhile others have theirs who ordered later. Ordered through the Educational Store- guess I'm at the back of the line. Listed as ships Feb 6, arrives Feb 12. Since I'm traveling on Feb 13, hope to have it by then as my 12" MPB is on its last legs. I'm looking forward to the lower weight- MPB has been to Japan, Brazil, Spain, Poland, Ireland, Australia and about 25 states. 2 pounds less weight times all those miles is a lot of energy savings.

I ordered through the Edu store as well, same day as you (only ~3 hrs earlier) and had the 1.8/64SSD drive version arrive this morning at 9:30am. Since the custom 1.8/ssd versions seemed to have been shipping later than the stock versions, there might be something wrong with your order. I'd contact Apple if I were you.

Woohoo! Just changed to "Prepared for Shipment".

I ordered a 1.6/SSD on Jan. 21st. I leave for grad school interviews on Thursday, and would love to have it beforehand, so this will be a race against time...

Called order support to find out why mine hasn't shipped. Only answer is that too many of the rest of you ordered as well. No holds or problems. Since its still before the official ship date, not much I can do. I always end up in the long line at the bank as well.

Mine has just arrived as of noon Feb 4. Love it!!

Much better than the original ship date of Feb 6, delivered Feb 18!!

1.8 GHz 64 SSD. USB Superdrive

First Impressions:

SSD (64GB) has 55.58 GB total space, with 38.00 GB free when shipped!

Trackpad button is a little narrow, getting used to it.

USB Superdrive works well, cable is a bit short -12"

New trackpad gestures are awesome, esp screen zoom!

I worked all night (night shift) last night, got 3 hours of sleep and the MacBook Air showed up at 11:13 AM PDT.

I am stoked, my first impressions are posted here:
http://groups.google.com/group/mac-book-air/browse_thread/thread/d398df388b730bc3

I'm am very happy, it is a very nice laptop. No rocking or warping, perfect screen, can barely hear the fan, not running hot at all (despite doing a clean install pretty much right out of the box).

BTW, stock install of OS X and bundled applications works out to 17.39 GB used space. We'll see how much space the clean install gets me. I'll post the info at the above Google Group and here when I can, including how migrating files over goes.

Hope you folks all get yours really soon, this thing is really sweet.

I ordered through the Edu store as well...

I sympathize with all the Edu Store folks. Used to do everything through the Edu Store (K-12) at my old job, and no matter *how* soon after say, a keynote or announcement, the Edu orders always seemed like they were put behind *everyone* else. Oy.

Well, I gave up! I cancelled my order because I can't stand waiting around for my Air to ship towards the end of Feb. Instead I called the Woodfield store (Chicago suburb) and they had one and only one 1.8/SSD but they would not hold it for me. I broke every speed limit, ran red lights, forced 3 cars and one semi off the road - but I got it! Sweet little thing it is!

Man...FedEx delivered it 2 days early , missed package... :-(

My Ship date is Feb 2 and Estimated delivery was Feb 6 by 10:30 AM
But it delivered early. :-(

Now, I need to go to FedEx local distribution center to pick it up,
since I can not wait until their 2nd try on delivery. :-)

How much space did you regain doing the clean install? I'm thinking of doing one but am trying several things on my own to see how much I can regain without a clean install. Running monolingual and keeping about 6 languages gave me 2GB.

I saved almost 3Gb knocking out the extra languages, print drivers, and ditching iMovie (I mean what's the purpose of it without optical drive!)

Classy ? True. I'm so gonna cry :P

Was the "macintosh + Mathematica = infinity" written on purpose ?

That's a 1988 Apple poster, it's Einstein and Mathematica, i think it's when it first came out.. oh those collectables.. I have about 24 think different posters from the 1998 campaign.

Anyhow, I had some fan noise from mine, when I was doing the fresh install, almost as loud as the iMac fan when running high. Only ran for about 4 minutes, then went away, haven't heard it back yet....

Anyone trying to plug in 2 USB devices at a time yet????? Gotta figure out how to do my iphone and usb external portable hd at the same time. Was suggested that only a powered USB hub would work. Was wondering if anyone else had tried it.

Poor fedex guy, he must have been thinking you're crazy.

The Macbook actually looks thinner and smaller than the air in your photo.

I was playing around and carrying my MacBook Air around the house when my wife wanted to use it. So I went and picked up my MacBook pro to use. That I was gonna get a hernia from lifting it:)

It took... 19 days to do here what couldn't be done in over a year in the Mac Pro forum. As a pro-to-be, I'm insulted, but any rabid Macness is fine with me.

Well, guys, I cancelled my "pre-order" which I placed on the 19th.

Because I was able to just buy one at the store in Tysons Corner, VA at lunch!

I did the same thing today. I had purchased my accessories this past weekend and managed to get my Macbook Air today at lunch :o
