Arrived, unboxed, typing on it now!! Oh wow, so nice :) Worth the wait? Not sure until I get used to the keyboard but it seems to be ok so far :) Will not be going anywhere near geek bench though;)

I absolutely adore the keyboard. It felt odd trying it in the store but that's understandable given the low tables. It feels absolutely great to type on and took all of a few minutes to acclimatise. Love!

Am jealous! But pleased you are loving - what colours did you guys get?


I'm getting mine tomorrow, they made me wait until the very last day of the window the little *bleep*. Just as well I'm not that impatient.

I think I am going to be the same - 4 weeks and 3 days and still processing!
 
In the higher education store yes at 15%. For uni. But for college it's about 8%. Some employees get a discount too like ambulance people.

Not bad! In Norway one only get 8% off.

I did bought 3 Macbook 12 Gold at another chain with a massive 20% off though. Not bad!

I got gold, it's really gorge.

I waited 6 weeks for mine! Ridiculous really but still worth it.

Your status will probably change very soon. ;)

Gold - excellent choice ;). My feeling is I will get at the end of next week which will be 6 weeks!

Am just so impatient :D. I may have to wander past the Apple Store on Saturday to stoke a real one :rolleyes:
 
Mine is currently flying from Hong Kong to Alaska. I hope it'll be an overnight from there to the global hub then to the UK. Only a few days away.
 
Shouldn't do. I think mine will be 5 days including the weekend. It's just landed in Germany for delivery on Monday.
 
I hope that you don't have the same experience as I did. I had the charge pending on my credit card for a week. :(

Well guess what?? It's been pending all week.....until yesterday and now no longer showing as pending nor has it cleared. So went on Apple chat who say they took payment on 22 May but can't give me dispatch date. Phoned bank/card company who say the transaction was authorised but Apple haven't actually taken the money yet!

And my order is still PROCESSING........ What is going on???

Ordered 26/4 and now (almost) half way thru the 4-6 week dispatch timeframe. Delivery to UK estimated to be 1-12 June.

I know am being impatient and its not late yet but I would just like to see progress from 'processing items' since it seems orders placed after mine are starting to move......

After the charge for mine was pending for a week it disappeared completely (someone suggested that they expire if not used) and then within about 24 hours my order changed briefly to 'Preparing to Dispatch' before being dispatched. The credit card charge re-appeared after dispatch.
 
Do you know when I'll get the ups tracking number?

I assume i dont have it because the macbook and the adapter will be merged into one final package and until then it's an Apple package without tracking.


Remind me next time to not order accessories with a newly released product!!!!

I got mine shortly after it was shipped. It shouldn't take long.

In other news. Mine has arrived at UPS Barking :D

No seriously just make sure you select to have dispatched and delivered separately.
 
Omg, FINALLY it's dispatched. Sent today, and expected delivery 10/6. That can't be right. It shouldn't take 12 days for a delivery, not even from China. Right?

I also have an estimated delivery of 10/6. Dustin are saying they expect to get their stock in on the 9th. When did you order, and what model?

Sometime in the last 15 mins my status changed to 'Preparing for dispatch'. I thought I was imagining it at first!

:D
 
I take back everything I said about UPS, the tracking system is great, delivery man came bright and early (which I know is more luck than anything else) but yeah, great service.

I might actually write a good review on trusted pilot as their reviews are shocking.

The beautiful thing about this laptop is no fan = zero noise - it's fantastic.

I ordered the base model on the morning of 10/4.

Förbannade väntan. :)

----------

The only thing bugging me now is that the order says my macbook and the adapter are sent separately and will be put together somewhere and sent as a new delivery.

If I'd known the frigging adapter would take so much extra time I'd never have ordered it.

Holy crap, base model on release day and I ordered the 1.3 from Dustin on May 6th...we have the same expected delivery - talk about orättvis! Then again, we'll see if my date doesn't get moved forward again, the original date was May 25th now it is June 10.

Indeed. Having to wait two months when ordering something on release day, that's one of the worst apple releases ever. I curse myself for, in my naivety, thinking it wouldn't matter if I ordered 00.00 or 10.00 on release day.

Well. Here's hoping for no further delays for neither of us. :)

Yes I thought they were great the last they delivered my iPhone. In fact I thought they were pretty much in league above other couriers.

Just got a dispatch notification an hour ago that mine has shipped for delivery by 5 June. Happy days!!

Excellent! I imagine it may well have changed to dispatched by now. If not, it must be imminent. :)

Yep!!! :)

Fyi, most 3rd party vendors ordered on release day.
