Are all you guys really students?
I have a link for HE but am thinking of holding off on purchase until my evening class starts in order that I can legitimately get it (apple told me the discount would apply even for night classes so its cheaper for me to do a dreamweaver course and buy through HE rather than buy normally). currently would save £170 + get free ipod over the employee discount scheme.

Its a little annoying that my son (15) isnt eligible for any kind of discount as hes really into music production and an imac would be perfect!
 
Im somewhat irritated mine has not shipped. I ordered two i7's 8gb 2tb+ssd(wife and i always upgrade with identical machines at the same time so as not to cause maritql issues :))

I placed the order on the 27th about 1 hr after the announcement. I live in the us.
 
I ordered on 26th July, just the day before the update. Apple automatically cancelled the old one and replace with a new one. But the new one hasn't shipped yet. I got my printer and ipod touch yesterday 29 July.

This is the order status:
Ships: within 24 hours
Delivers: 29/07/2010 - 30/07/2010

But 20 mins later, it'll be 31 July =(
 
Not yet shipped

Product Qty.2
IMAC 27"/5750/SD
Custom configured
Ships: 2 - 4 Business days
Delivers: Jul 31 - Aug 6

Is what mine says. I was really hoping for it to ship this week, and delivery early next week. Who knows, the day is still young. I did confirm with Apple support, that the unit is shipping from the US, and they even upgraded me to free next day air.
 
I ordered an 2.93 i7, 8GB, 2TB+SSD on the 27th, about 5 hours after the announcement and received shipping notification this morning. Estimated delivery is August 4th. I'm stoked, moving up from a .8 G4, 15" flower pot. For some reason, I expected the Fedex tracking info to start in China, not California.
Can someone shed light on this? Thanks and take care!
 
Ordered my i7 with iPod touch and printer on July 28th. Delivery estimates for the iMac are August 3-7, iPod touch is August 3 (It's cruising around in Shanghai China right now according to FedEx) and the printer coming from California will be here July 31. As per usual the items I am least excited about will arrive soonest =P

yea i got the same thing on my fed ex tracking it shipped from CA not china :D.... which is pretty sweeet ....i think lol faster i guess to reach my place in US.
 
I thinking they built up a California stock of some base configurations, like 2.93 i7, with the various HD combinations, then depending on your memory order and software pre-loads, custom-configured it per your order. Didny any other previous BTO iMacs ever originate from California instead of China? They don't have an assembly line in California, do they? I'm sure, down the line, they will be shipped directly from China. But these early ones have me wondering who's actually doing the BTO. Take care!
 
I know it early... but I'm just curious. Mine has been "prepared for shipment" since noon PDT
mine has shipped and is a few miles away at their warehouse, but they wont deliver it till monday, and they wont let me pick it up...

I got the i7 w/ magic trackpad, and charger...
 
Woot! Just got shipping confirmation with a delivery date of Saturday! *claps*

In the end, all that worrying for nothing. You're getting yours before me, as you should, based on when you ordered it. Let us know what you think of those bad
boy computers when they arrive. Take care!
 
Waiting a week for delivery... Very slow week so far.:( Although my free iPod is supposed to come today.

Edit: Within 30 seconds of this post the iPod showed up at the door. :)
 
ordered mine the day it was announced. it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but fedex messed up and left a note on my neighbor's door! they went to the wrong apartment. i was so pissed. called them up right away, told them to hold onto it and drove 35 minutes to fedex this morning to pick it up.

btw, it shipped from Pennsylvania to me here in upstate new york. also expected it to ship from china like others. so to summarize, ordered tuesday, sent out wednesday, arrived thursday but didnt get it until today, friday, because of stupid fedex.

Yours shipped from PA? I live in Fl and mine shipped from CA. Why would mine come from the west coast but yours the east coast? What model did you order? That may have something to do with it.

I'm not usually this impatient. ;) I think it's because I have really been waiting a year. I signed up here a year ago with the intentions to buy shortly after. I kept putting it off for one reason or another.
 
Orderd my 27" quad i7 2.93 ghz with 8 gb ram yesterday afternoon. Havent been shipped yet, and last time I checked the order-status it stated estimated delivery 10-11 aug. :( living in Sweden.

Ordered mine on Wednesday - 21.5", 3.60GHZ i5, 4gb ram, 2TB HDD. Shipped today out of Oakland, CA for arrival on the 2nd. Really looking forward to it. I currently have an Aug 2007 20" aluminum core 2 duo - one out of the first batch of aluminum iMacs. Hopefully this'll be a nice step up. I do a lot of podcast stuff on the current iMac and it's gotten a little slow/crashy in GarageBand as of late.
 
Mines just changed to "Prepared for Shipment" and I just ordered it 3 hours ago. Does this mean that all 3 products are Prepared for Shipment? Also, does anyone know where the products are shipping from?
