I called Fedex about my package that shipped on Oct 28th. There is some delay in flights in Shanghai. I am really pissed now. Expected delivery date is Nov 1 by 10:30 am and that is if it doesnt get delayed in customs. Somebody kill me now.

yea, I ordered mine the 24th, supposed to be here by the 3rd, then the 1st, now its at the 2nd....whats taking them so long???? oh yea, thats with two day shipping:mad:

Hey, don't worry. You're not alone. Mine won't arrive until the 2nd. It's driving me nuts! I can't wait for it! Though, seeing as I've waited a year and a half for one, I suppose a few more days will be okay. :rolleyes:

mine shipped today and is getting to CA by Wednesday too (Nov 2 Shanghai time, Nov 1 US Time. Fedex shipped 30th Shanghai time, 29th US Time). Did you pay extra for saturday shipping?

oh and the glossy/matte battle earlier, its matte all the way.
 
Just made a transit time evaluation on the tnt site: two services are expected for delivery on 2 November and the other one on 6. Since ETA is 3, I hope they're using one of the first two shipping services.

I got a stock 2.16 C2D MBP from the Bethesda Apple Store on Friday and these are my impressions (I have experience with the original MBPs and a Blackbook)

grr, that would def be annoying, for me and all the other flight139 ppl :p
 
Ah, looks like we're in the same boat. My delivery changed from 11/1 to 11/2 as well. Are all MBP orders coming from China?

I don't have a delivery date show up on the FedEx site. I got 2 day shipping, but it looks like it's stuck in Shanghai too. Maybe I shouldn't have paid extra for the shipping. :mad:

This thing is FAST!, Airport still an issue for me so i'm guessing my B router is to blame which is why i've gone ethernet exclusively. Trying to measure temps but i dont think the Core Duo Temp utility is accurate. Its saying the processors are running at 2.33GHz standard all the time yet im only using 3% of my processing power (i thought these processors throttled?). Measured temp so far is 54C and i have quicktime, itunes, safari, yahoo & MSN messengers running.

The 17"'s are throttled, not the 15"'s from what i've heard.
 
Macbook Pro C2d Arrived Today!!!!

First off, I love FedEx. I wasn't home at 9:29 am when they tried to deliver it (first not that it's 2 days early...), so I get home at 2:28 p.m., and within 5 minutes, the doorbell rings. FedEx again. The driver said he was driving in the area on his way back and figured he would try again... :eek: I'm a lucky bitch, because he saved me an hour's drive to the hub to pick it up tonight...

So FedEx rocks.

And I'll be opening the box now, so farewell for awhile! :D :D :D :D :D

For those wondering, it's a 2.33 120GB 2G 256vram matte... shanghai on the 27th to anchorage and then Indianapolis on the 28th to Chicago at 5 a.m. today at at my door 4.5 hours later (if only I had been there to get it then...)

Still... pretty damn impressive. that means just over 6 days exactly from my order from "Submit Order" to door.
 
ADC buyers, we're in luck!

I ordered mine on Wednesday morning after the release and it's been shipped!!

My estimated delivery is November 2nd (Thursday).

I also received my first ADC kit today, I became a member last Wednesday (because the C2D came out!).

If you send me your address, I'll be right over. By the way, if I kill you, can I have your MBP when it arrives? Mine isn't due to arrive until 11/13. :D

If anyone is interested, I ordered Friday evening (15" C2D 2.13, 2GB, 120GB, Glossy). Ship estimate was 11/3 with delivery by 11/13. I called Apple since I wanted 2-3 day delivery, and they updated to 2-day without charging me.

so.. 2 day delivery = 10 day delivery? :confused:

Thanks guys!

Here in Spain, this Wednesday (10/01) is a local festivity so no one works, the same in the rest of Europe or not?

When you say you expect them to arrive on wednesday you mean at your home or at your local TNT and then 1 more day until it gets to your home?

My ETA at Apple website is 10/06, at first it was 10/02 but then it changed to 06

I cant wait no more for my MBP, It is my first one, I am a switcher!
 
MacBook Pro C2D only works inside?

Excerpt from pg. 71 of the user manual:

"Wireless Radio Use:

This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems."

Bummer. I wanted to use mine on the porch outside, but I guess the FCC police will pwnz0r me if I try that. Oh noes! :eek:

:D
