mine still says estimated ship date: May 11th, and estimated delivery date: May 16th!
Heh, mine says ships May 10th, delivered May 17th--how does the math on that work out?
At least in CA Apple's shipping estimates are usually quite high, though, so I expect if it does actually ship on the 10th I'll have it on Friday. Sure hoping they make that ship date, though--I REALLY need the thing.
Feel like I'm playing with fire getting a first-run major product revision from Apple, but then I got a first-gen G5 tower right after they came out and with the exception of the Radeon 9800 failing (under AppleCare, thank God), it's been a trooper.
As for the 17" MBP, I came into sudden need of a laptop due to illness, and was wanting to get acquainted with an Intel Mac for experience purposes anyway, so I'm taking the risk (not to mention the huge deal they are in comparison to the 15" at this point). Figure they probaby got the major kinks worked out messing around with the 15" models, so the 17" will, with any luck, be a little more stable. We'll see, though, and hello, AppleCare if they didn't.
