Cancelled my iMac and iPod Touch for Zune and Dell

[crossifixio]

After wanting a Mac for a long time, firstly a MacBook but then when the new iMac came out I fell in love with it, I finally placed an order on September 13th for a 20” 2.4GHz iMac and also an iPod Touch (£85 off with BtS rebate). This morning I checked my order status and it was still on “not yet shipped” I phoned apple and got some story about that it has to come from china and it is normal to take a month from order to delivery dates, so I decided that I should cancel my order because I was sick of waiting and the apple support was no help,

After I had cancelled my order I placed an order for a Dell XPS210 and a Zune, at the time I thought it was the right decision and since both could be ready and delivered next week I was more then happy enough to order knowing I would finally have my own computer again, but when I arrived home from work this evening my 1GB stick of iMac RAM had arrived from crucial, this has now caused me to have a dilemma, I really want the iMac and iPod touch but I’m sick of waiting and having a substandard service from apple,

Also just to help with the situation my 250GB My Book Pro arrived this afternoon, which was obviously bought to match my Alu iMac and to be ready for leopard

So my options are:

Cancel the Dell and Zune and place another order with Apple for the iMac and iPod Touch?

Or

Keep the order I have placed for the Dell and Zune and return the RAM to crucial and the 250GB My Book Pro to Amazon?

Sorry to hear about your wait, many people have the same problem but man you cant go and commit suicide Zune and Dell just listen to the sound of the two words. Cancel your zune, cancel your dell and get the iMac. You will love it when you get it. My brother got one from the apple store regent street and he loves it

Depends on what you want to do...
If you want to use your computer for playing games and have a 360, get a Dell... the Mac will feel more refined, but completely useless if you're looking to play games.

Okay so I'm pretty sure I've seen this somewhere else. Did you also post this on mac-forums.com? Your order time really is not all that surprising seeing as from china to UK it can take up to a month, it took my mbp 2 weeks to get put in the shipping que and when it did it took another week to be delivered to North Carolina, U.S.

If you want a mac, you can sure take the time to wait. By cancelling your order and then deciding to reorder you have now extended the time. Whereas you could of had your mac sometime this week (04.10.07)(ddmmyy).

Keep the Dell, the Zune and the Macs. Then you will have all sorts of toys.

Well, lets see.... be impatient on waiting for an order on a Mustang Convertible because they are in demand?
Or just get a Kia, because it's available?

When asked why a co-worker hates Apple:
"They cost too much"
I suppose he hates nice stuff. Idiot.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Booo hooo. I would wait until the end of the world for a Mac before I would ever even THINK about buying a Dell or a Zune.

+1,000,000. The only reason to buy Dell (windows, only if you need it) is now gone with Leopard including full boot camp. There was NEVER a reason to buy a Zune.

LMAO, the title got to be the most blatant troll title ever.

I didn't bother to read the post, it's way too long.

Enjoy your Dell and Zune, troll.
