Delivery Thread for 27" iMac December Orders

[michaelmac]

Once you install the RAM ( I plan on purchasing 16gb), what's the step by step for configuring it so the computer picks it up? Sorry for asking, this is my first Mac

Nothing - should be automatic. Just sit back and enjoy the extra performance!

Cause I'm an idiot. Guess I had a short moment of cost constiousness.

Unlike, I guess most of you, this was just a toy for me. I'm no photographer, web designer or music composer.

Maybe someday I'll walk into a store and pick one up at the spur of the moment. Well probaly 4 months from now when they are readily available in store.

i can't blame you for thinking of the cost. i had a hard time justifying it until i thought about it and i spent the same amount on my 2010 mbp and it wasn't nearly as spec'd out. also i have a 2012 mbp i'm hoping i can recycle or at least get it fixed (for as cheap as possible) so that would be some money i would get back. i'm not any of the above listed professions either, i'm just in need (literally) of a computer. if i were in the states i probably would have waited as well.

Sigh.

3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB
1TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5

----------

"What order date are they up to now?"

I think 12/12/12

Nope, I ordered 6th and mine hasn't budged from 'Preparing for shipment' since before the weekend.

 

[thomasman87]

Ordered December 9, 27 with fusion. Preparing last night, shipped today.

 

[falcon362]

what's the cloth under keyboard and mouse? where I can find something like that?

I assume you mean the black pad on the desk. It's just a desk mat/blotter. Just go to Staples.

 

[Anurbanhippy]

Reading the tea leaves as a admitted noob, 30 days +/- appears to be the order to ship days.

I ordered the following on Dec 28. I live in Dallas, Texas.

27" iMac
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2X4GB
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIAGeFrc GTX 680MX 2G GDDR5

I expect a ship date around Jan 28.

Is this reasonable?

 

[EK23]

Have any of you that shipped yesterday seen an update with your tracking? My last activity is still from 2:39pm yesterday(China time I presume) saying Left FedEx origin facility and nothing since.

 

[-Future-]

Ordered Dec 7. Finally shipped! Expected Jan 10.....now what to do with my time since I've been checking my order status like a mad man?? Hmm......check FedEx every hour!! YES!!!

Next challenge is getting barclay to honor the special financing, anyone have success? My charge posted past the 30 day mark...

I called Barclay shortly after ordering back on December 11th and they extended it to 45 days without issue. The rep I spoke with told me to call back if I was approaching the 45 day mark and they could extend it further without issue.

I don't see it being a problem.

Mine says the same, I'm assuming that means it left China on a plane..

Thanks, that's a sign of relief - I was dreading this call. I tried emailing their customer service last month and they were not very helpful. So I'll definitely call...

Today when I checked my status it still says "January", but under the order there's now a new box that states "Cancelled - Replaced with a new product". I changed the keyboard but that was three weeks ago. Hope this doesn't change anything :/

I also ordered on Dec 19th. )

Another Dec. 19 here. I checked my credit card account this morning and it seems Apple has a hold on the $ amount of the iMac--not sure when they did it, as I hadn't checked previously--but I hope that's a good sign that it'll be prepping for shipment soon. It's still listed as processing.

I ordered an i7/8GB/3TB Fusion/680MX. Will upgrade RAM myself after it arrives.

Can't wait as I'm upgrading from a 20" 2006 white iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duowith only 2GB. It is unbelievably slow with iPhoto and similar apps now and can't be upgraded to Mountain Lion.

 

[Lundy]

Ordered on Dec 12th- This morning it flipped to preparing for shipment!!!!

[xgman]

yes, you are one among many that are seemingly way out of order in the schedule.

 

[owen-b]

Okay, I JUST got my Shipped email from Apple, it's on the way.

I ordered on the 6th Dec:


3.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
1TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5

I saw some people talking about tracking the plane. That's geeky and I like the sound of it. If I just got the email do you think that means the flight has left, or just that it's checked out of the factory gates/into the airport holding area?

 

[BIGBUCZ]
