But they really can't win in that situation. Everyone on here new the new MBP was coming, so we could either hear continued complaining "where's the announcement, it's been so long?!" or complaining about stock levels and pre-order waiting. It's really a lose lose. I'm just excited mine finally shipped and I'll be able to set it up and play with it over my time off from work.You don't have to wait for something you don't know exists. At least it would give the impression that Apple has a better handle on stock than they do now.
