Don't trust the websites. You have to call to make sure. ABT still doesn't have, J&R is two weeks out.

The Alu MB's are officially in the EPP store as of this morning! Not sure about the new MBP's, though.
 
Typically it can take 3 weeks to 2 months or so to hit EPP (though some items go directly to EPP), and that really depends on various factors, mostly available supply to both Apple retail/online and 3rd party retailers/resellers. Probably sometime in the next 2-3 weeks would be a good bet.

No trust, huh?

I stopped in and ordered a 2.4 Alu MB on the EPP this afternoon (I'm a former Apple EE using a former co-worker's F&F discount). Estimated ship time was 1 to 3 business days, even on CTO's.

The MBP's were available for order on the EPP, as well.

what was your discount? 15 %? 25%?
 
aristobrat said:
F&F = 15%. employee = 25%. Employees aren't supposed to use their 25% discount for Friends and Family.

Aristobrat is right. Apple can request that the Ee produce the item purchased with the 25% discount within either 12 or 15 months of purchase (can't remember which) to prove that the Ee didn't resell it or give it to someone else.

Definitely not worth risking your job over a couple hundred bucks.

udrivethrume, do you know if if the MBP 2.53Ghz (retail $2499) is on the EPP? If it is, I'm sending an email ASAP.

The new laptops are definitely showing up on the employee discount computers: a few hours ago, I just bought a 2.4GHz MB upgraded to 4GB through the 15% F&F discount. Came out to $1,487 plus tax. The order went through Apple's online store so it ships tomorrow.
 
I can confirm that MBPs are available.
Just had mine ordered :)

Nice to know you all and perhaps I'll lurk on these forums more often since I'm a new Mac user and I also heard that these are the best Mac forums on the Internet :p

Did you order the 2.4 or 2.53 Ghz MBP?
 
Sorry I wasn't clear. It was a 2.4 GHz.
I didn't ask my friend about the 2.5 GHz ones, but I'm sure that model is available, too.
 
Ok thanks, cause I want to make sure the 2.53Ghz are on EPP before I bug my friend one last time. I don't want to keep asking him if it's on there or not.
