I didn't say that he has no job. But getting a 3500$ present for christmas/birthday is in my eyes just a bit exaggerated. Okay, maybe he has super rich parents/family. Whatever. I'm just of the opinion that you appreciate things much more when you earn them by yourself.
No offense. (;

No offense, but this is a pretty silly comment. It is completely proportionate to circumstance and how much money you earn, so why even bother commenting on it at all? Simon Cowell probably spends that on a dinner date. A night in Claridges starts at £5500.

Thats why it's in your eyes and no one else's and your opinion of what is and isn't exaggerated isn't really a valid opinion.

On a side note:

Ordered 3TB Fusion
Everything else standard

Sorry to jump in, but as this thread is basically all about supposedly adult people which are complaining about not having yet received their toy i could not hold on.

How on earth can you say something like you posted? Do you realize how your comment is totally out of perspective?

You judge expensive that sum as a present, i might agree with you, but no-one is in position to give any moral judgment.

What do you think the 1+ billion people who do not have a house or anything to eat judge your very valuable life time spent on posting on a thread about not having yet received your indispensable new 3k$ toy? To put it bluntly, how dare you judge someone else morality based on your tiny perspective? Obviously you consider YOUR standard of living as the right balance between what's right and what's not, but i highly suggest you try to look at things a bit more objectively.

Anyone who is wasting its time posting about delivery times of their new iToy has certainly no moral right to judge how much someone else is spending on the same toy.

Sorry -no, im not sorry actually- for the Out of topic and flaming more than welcome, but to see moral judgments thrown out like this in a thread that goes on for pages and pages about people discussing on such an important topic like "hey, i ordered my toy, it's shipping / oh no it's not yet shipped how miserable i am" really shouts for it.

Oh yes, and i've obviously ordered before many others bla bla still processing bla bla and who cares the world is big.

Now keep on updating yourself on wheter your world-improving imac has yet shipped or not, and blame on the guy who has received it as a present, we are all confident you have never received presents which half of the world population would consider an insult relatively to their life conditions.

But i'm sure you need your new iMac to finally crack that cancer cure.

I didn't mean to stir up such a firestorm with my little comment about the iMac being a gift - LOL. I will say that my parents are by no means rich, but they wanted me to have a good computer that will last long after I graduate from my University and into my future job as a photojournalist. This forum has kept me informed and by no means did I take offence at anything he said - just one person's opinion in a sea of opinions - everyone is entitled but you don't have to listen if you don't want to :D

Thank you :D

You're a lucky rich spoiled kid :D

Good luck with your photography and remember that for 99% it's NEVER the photo gear, but the man behind it. As a very amateur (and objectively not talented) photographer i suggest reading lots of books, they really can improve your skills and make shine whatever talent you have or not have infinitely more than cpu, ram or expensive lenses. Good luck and enjoy your iMac (and yes, the money spent on Apple Ram is really a tax your family is paying to redistribute richness...:D)

Yes, maybe this sounds like an ******* comment... But it wasn't meant to insult him. It's just what I think about this kind of presents.
And yes it's of course completely relative.
Now calm down.

@vannibombonato
Nothing to deny about this. It was kind of a imprudent and hasty post, and I just stated what I think about it.

I'm out off here before this escalates even more. Happy iMac tracking. (;

ANYWAYS

i7 27" 680mx 1TB Fusion

December 18, 2012

PROCESSING

probably will stay that way for a few more weeks lol
 
I'm getting a little annoyed.

Ordered my BTO December 1st.
Top 27" with all the upgrades (1Tb Fusion) and Apple Care.

The reseller is looking into it as they have the Dec 18th on their system, which was over 10 days ago.
 
I'm starting to get fed up with this Processing. Come on!! My wired transfer was confirmeed Dec. 3.. So that is my actual order date.. most iMacs that are being shipped have order dates beyond mine! :mad:

Same, ordered 2nd December, moved to processing on 3rd. Still processesing :( I went for BTO i7 3tb fusion 680mx 8gb ram. It's quickly heading towards a full year I've been waiting for my first mac. I have 3-4 weeks dispatched which ends tomorrow and delivery between jan 4-11. Looking like that will be missed but I'll give it a few more days before I call apple.
 
Order nov 30, got prepering yesterday, today it shipped towards Finland. Estimate date is 08/01/2013.

27", 1TB fusion drive, i7, GTX680MX

TNT gives 3. jan to delivery
