2016 Macbook Pro, Order/Shipping Thread

[Aspen82]

I received the very same email notice today via email for my fully spec'd out 15" Space Gray MBP. It was slated to arrive Nov 25 now changed to Dec 5. I also placed my order online at Apple shortly it came online as well.

The upside: not standing in line on Black Friday to pick up our Macs!

I don't know if ordering off of the educational store is to blame. I don't regret it, it was close to $400 in savings.

I am an education customer. I have seen no additional delay in my order, which has shipped and is projected to arrive on the second day of the original eight day range.

It's out for delivery!

My 13 inch BTO is on its way and will be delivered today...another one for Hong Kong.

My status just changed to "Preparing to ship", and my credit card has been charged. Hoping for a delivery next week.

That's true, but the downside is will I still have a functional computer by the time the new MBP arrives. I've been putting off purchasing a replacement for a long while due to a mfg defect Apple refuses to fix with all the early 2011 models. Three times my machine has gone in for service under and out of warranty (but covered) and it's still not really resolved. Refer to MacRumor discussion's Graphics Card Lawsuit.

Did you order on the 27 or 28?

4-5 PM, 27. It should be around 5 hours after the announcement.
btw, I talked with a support and she said the system was FIFO. So if you are in the same area, then you can guess your switching time by my time

There's a "Snapnator" Kickstarter that has a high demand of backers for a magnetic adapter slated to go out early next year.

On the negative side, the thunderbolt 3 power adapter is really snug and I have a young child at home who is already trying to yank it out... Hopefully somebody will come up with a 85W magsafe adapter... The one on Amazon is only rated to 60W and the 15" macbook pro has an 87W adapter.

Yep, already backed that one...hoping for magsafe bliss by January for my MBP and rMB....

Do you have to call to get expedited shipping or can you do it through chat?

 

[TajyMany]

Hooray! I cancelled my online order, and picked up a Space Grey/2.9ghz/1TB/460 from the Store! They had the 1 last left in stock in my area
Good luck everyone!

I would leave it as-is...it's questionable about whether it hurts you or helps you.

I believe you have to call.

Looks like someone deleted all USA 15" entries.

They're showing for me. Maybe someone just had it filtered when you checked?

How would it hurt?

My original order was 2.6/512/460. Once the geek bench scores started stacking up I realized the processor bump was probably more important than the video card bump. Turns out the apple engineers actually picked good configurations to offer stock.

u got the 2.9?

It's actually not that unreasonable. Lots of case manufacturers have cases ready on day one for new iPhones too. They are either given advance dimensions (big companies like Belkin who Apple carries in their own stores), or they just take dimensions for part leaks and hope for the best. And Apple doesn't just send review units, they also send units to accessory makers. For example, I e-mailed Startech a while back to ask about compatibility and they said they were "currently testing" with the new MBP; and this was a week before anyone had theirs.

So it's not too crazy to think that there could be companies already shipping or at least accepting pre-orders on cases. There's incentive to be first-to-market with some of this stuff; so these companies have learned how to turnaround a product QUICK.

please link me the cases to the new macbook then smarty pants

How would it hurt?

Some people who did it are having their shipments delayed past when it was quoted to ship. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess needing to pull out a single shipment from a streamlined bulk manufacturing process can get it messed up?

Yeah they are showing again. Guess someone just had them filtered. Thanks.

Call to get it for free cause live chat charges you $14 to upgrade it.
