Hahahaha I actually don't need OS X at all. I need windows for my architect programs. I actually need to dual boot or use vmware because I like iCloud holding all my documents that can be interchangeable between my mac, desktop, and iPhone. Especially since I hate peripherals. Don't even have a usb stick. The only thing is my sd card.
Originally 15" 2.7GHz/16/512/460 4Gb, ordered Oct 28th with Nov 28- Dec 2nd shipping.
Changed to the 2.9GHz and added student discount one day later, took Apple four days to process change, now shipping has slipped to Dec 9-15. I'm really pissed about Apple not holding my place in line for the same P.O. and custom-build time.
$3,080 after tax and student discount.

Wouldn't it make way more sense to use Onedrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive for that?
My MacBook Pro is in Dec 15 and I need it before 9 December. I hope that we have it early that predict
What the other guy said. Use Dropbox, and the Mac for everything except your architect stuff. No rebooting and no hackintosh headaches.
They must be building them as we speak. I can't think of another reason to drop the date.
100% the same for me. Shipping 16-23Ordered

I did get any notification woke up in the morning found a text and an email for shipping conformation.. went from processing items to shipped!! I did not see the the Preparing for shipment step at all even though I kept monitoring both orders couple times daily!!
only Watch 2 & iPhone 7plus got them earlier without notification on changed the expected delivery but for Macbook pro haven't seen any update yet.
ordered the non-TouchBar base model early this morning, will be delivered before noon tomorrow!!
I cancelled my original 13" order - placed just 2 minutes after the end of the event - for the dumbest reason... to upgrade from the 2.9 GHz i5 to the 3.3GHz i7. Delayed my shipment from 2-3 weeks to 4-5 weeks.
I know it will literally make NO difference in my day to day tasks but I've been waiting to buy a new computer for ages and was always used to maxing out the processor, and found myself bothered by not upgrading it in the initial order. Plus I use my MacBook to run my business and can write it off as a business expense.
I guess now I have the configuration I will be happiest with, but I spent more money than necessary for something I'm not likely going to make much use of. So I feel like a sucker, but still super excited for the MacBook to ship since this will be my first computer with a retina screen.

Well I placed my order only hours after the event and quickly realized I wanted the 460 dgpu. I went to cancel it 20 minutes after it was made and It wouldn't allow it. For day now I've been trying and now that I had apple on the phone they are telling me they can't cancel it even though it won't ship for 3-4 weeks. What an absolute joke. Their recommendation was for me to order another one and have both on my card and just return the first. On top of that I would have to wait the 2 weeks for the second one to arrive since the shipping has slipped even further.
Originally wasn't planning to order one until Kaby, but I succumbed.
