I want to head to the apple store right after class and pick up a shiny new i7 17". Are the apple stores getting them in stock yet?
 
most likely stores will be receiving them with their regular stock replenishment shipments over the next 3-4 days.

Higher volume stores most likely had them late last night. stores in slower areas will likely get them by the end of this week.

Apple ships daily to their stores as far as I've ever been able to determine, which translates to the big brown bringing them at their leisure.

Demo units are probably on display though.
 
I wonder if they'll have the antiglare models in today. I really hope, I don't want to wait any longer.
 
I went to 2 stores in my area (Northern NJ), both had them and neither could sell them because they aren't in their POS system yet.

You can imagine the look on my face when I walked in at 10am on the dot, watched the salesman walk out with the computer I have been waiting months for only to be told "Sorry, I can't ring this up yet. Hopefully they will update our system soon to reflect the new SKU's"

I could have punched him in the face.
 
Did they have the hi-res version at the NJ stores you visited?

The one store I went to was the Palisades Mall store in NYS, when I called they said they had a highres antiglare, but I didnt bother to ask once I got there and was told the same "I cant sell this yet" crap..
 
I didn't ask about the 17's, sorry.

I am looking for a 15" and trying to decide if I want/need highres or not...
 
Strange thing, I have been dead set on a 17" for the last 4-5 months, but now that it's here, and the i7 is an extortionate BTO on the 17" but free on the high end 15", combined with the upgrade in resolution on the 15" i'm probably going to get that instead. Before, the 17" had other benefits that just being bigger, but now it's really just bigger, heavier and more cumbersome and slower, with little real advantage.
 
Anyone know if any Ontario stores have any yet? I desperately want to get to a store but Eaton Center, Yorkdale, and Sherway are all telling me they have boxes they have not openned yet and might have them out in a few hours.
