Unsure. I've also had a weird graphics error that quickly fixed itself (green pixeled screen). If it's just the scratch I'll deal with it and not return but if anything else seems wrong I will send it back. I have an unopened MBP 15" with 455 graphics card sitting in my closet that I planned on returning but I'm so tempted to open it up and check for the scratch. The scratch probably would have went unnoticed if I hadn't seen the post with various others having the same scratch. It's only visible at certain angles.
Hmmm, apple should take responsibility for the scratch. You are paying premium for their build quality after all. They do have awesome customer service and probably will expedite your replacement.
I had a graphics issue and with no questions asked they replaced it with a brand new one. For all the money, we spend on these things, that's the least they can do. Just call apple, tell them the problem, you send it back to them. Soon as they receive it, they will send you a new one a lot faster then it took you to get the first one. Because they categorize it as lost or stolen so it moves to the front of the line. That's what they did with mine.
The graphics issue and the scratch on day one? That is definitely not good. Try doing more graphics intensive tasks as I heard that is what causes the issue.
Ordered November 7th, still stuck in processing. Ordered 2.7/460/512/space gray. My card has had a pending charge since December 8th. Supposed to deliver from the 14th-20th.
Considering the insane price tag on these machines, I would absolutely return it over a small scratch... If Apple expects me to pay $4k for a computer, I expect them to be flawless especially in design.
Just noticed another update in my account:
Delivery date was changed again - unfortunately lost another week: Dec 16-20 is now the target with expedited shipment
Wtf is going on?!?
AND MY LAPTOP HAS BEEN MOVED BACK A WEEK. SERIOUSLY APPLE. 5 weeks wasn't enough to make a laptop? That's BS. Now apparently it's likely to dispatch on the 15th, with the website saying it will arrive around the 20th. Well, there goes the likelihood of actually using the thing for my work this semester. Just plain outrageous
It's getting so very old seeing this dang "in Processing" message. Just ship the darn thing already.
I hope we have a major flow of shipments from the authorizations last week. My charges are still just showing as "pending" on my cards. ARGH
That's a total dick move. If mine's been pushed back because Christmas sales I'm gonna be furious, since I've waited a month and the people who ordered at the keynote time got there laptops about 4-6 weeks before me now. This is so stupid. I'm totally gonna nag support tomorrow.
Had the same issue, been waiting on my replacement for over 2 weeks and it got delayed. You can try requesting a replacement, I heard some people were offered to keep there Mac with a hold on their card till the new one arrives.
What I don't get is that with all the shipments that have arrived over the last few weeks, they still haven't figured out WHERE the scratch happens ? They aren't dumb, they see the amount of laptops return and the reason why. It is ridiculous to allow a product to go out the factory and to the customer with such an aesthetic defect...
Mine has just been reduced by a day from 22 December-4 Jan to 21 December-3 Jan.
Same model, 15" 2.6GHz/512GB/460/SG CTO, but ordered on December 1st. Estimated delivery date is 12/28, stuck at processing, but got my card charged just a couple hours ago. Crossing my fingers for an earlier delivery.
Ordered through EPP online store if that makes any difference. Not sure if Apple expedites employee purchases. Doesn't look like it though.
Ordered stock 13 inch with TB, 256 GB, on November 26th, went to PFS today (Dec 12)
Edit: original delivery estimates were Dec 22-29

For you guys buying the stock models or the upgraded SSD models, you might have better luck strolling into your local Apple or Best Buy store and getting one. They seem to always have the 256/512/1TB in stock of both models in both colors here locally. I ended up canceling my Apple order after it sat "In Processing" for a week then walked into Best Buy and walked out with one. I gotta say I was pretty upset that Apple doesn't have them ready to ship but Best Buy does.
