what the heck!

FedEx says...


Mar 18, 2008 4:10 AM In transit INDIANAPOLIS, IN


Simple Tracking says....

3/18/2008 4:10:00 AM INDIANAPOLIS, IN, US Held at Sort Facility



Which do I believe?? Normally FedEx says "Departed FedEx location" when it leaves. I had a friend who lives in the same city as me have his mbp get to Indianapolis at the same time as me, but his is already in Memphis and mine is stuck. It better still get here like FedEx says.

anyone seen theirs says "Held at Sort Facility" on simple tracking?
 
Cool, good to know. I'm thinking about ordering the 17" hi res sometime next week. I notice that the matte hi res only takes 1-3 days now to ship from apple! :D
 
Got It Yo!!!

Well it finally arrived today and I have not stopped playing ans setting it up. It is perfect, everything seems to be in order with my 17" High-Res MBP.

Right now I am posting this message from it and installing my FCP Studio 2.

Needless to say I am very happy.
 
congrats tstreet. i too received mine yesterday. pretty amazing, overnight shipping to atlanta, ga from shanghai, china. if only every package came that quick.

it's a thing of beauty. good job, apple. now please add blu-ray! :)
 
stuck in Memphis now. Geez. It is scheduled to get here by 10:30 am today, and it is still over 9 hours away. You think if i call apple they will send me some freebies?
 
Oh man

This thing is crazy! Sexy as hell, and really really bright too. I put in my 4 gigs from OWC, and I can already see the difference. Insanely fast...definately worth the wait.
 
how depressing. i ordered mine 2 weeks ago and it still hasnt even changed status. not even ready to ship. hmm. maybe steve jobs is personaly putting mine together or something. :confused:
 
Mine is Shipping 1 week early!

Mine was supposed to ship a week from now and I got confirmation it shiped today!

Wohoo, my MBP is somewhere in China :)
 
After receiving the second MBP 15 inch with screen problems I'm giving up on that model and thinking about the 17 inch.

Can anyone who has the high res 17 give me some feedback on the display quality? Not just the yellow issue but the overall backlight uniformity? Any light bleed or mura with a black screen at high mid-high brightness? For example Front Row or while watching a widescreen trailer or DVD in full screen.
 
On Newegg they have been having rebates for Crucial 2GB chips for the past few weeks. I think it just ended though. It was a $15 rebate so I bought 2 and paid about $60 total for Crucial ram...excellent deal!!
