Well, you can get a 7200 RPM drive from say, Newegg, that's probably better quality and cheaper. It may not have apple's warranty, but it will come with one from the manufacturer.

Yeah I've just never done anything like that, seems nice to just have it all in one ready to go package, and not have to swap it out if I ever bring it in for service.
 
How can you guys stand to wait for the MBP to be delivered? I was going to just get it shipped to me, but decided it would help my sanity to just drive 1hr to the apple store and pick one up... Soo thankful there's one somewhat nearby. And can't wait till saturday when I get to go get it!

A big fat corporate discount, that's why
 
Woohoo! It's in Alaska now! Well my updated shipping info says 'Scheduled Delivery Date: 30/04/2010 (Updated) '. So I still have a small glimmer of hope that it'll arrive sometime tomorrow.


Please, tell me if your delivery is still updated to be tomorrow because I believe that mine is in the same flight as yours according to the following latest tracking:

However, I am too disappointed as the delivery date is still Monday. That is so cruel!! Please tell me what is your status now. I have 2 days shipping but not sure if it will help and I am in VA. Where are you?

Looks like it's headed to Oakland according to FlightAware's info. Maybe I'll get it tomorrow after all? It still says May 3rd, though.

Strange. My shipment still says:

ANCHORAGE, AK

Looks like the Oakland flight has already departed and my MBP is spending the night in Anchorage. May 3 it is I guess.
 
Yep. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm closer to Oakland, in the Bay Area? Hopefully you'll get lucky and see your shipment tomorrow!

I'm in Phoenix. It's only been two days thouh and I didn't order two day shipping.

Scratch that. Looks like my shipment departed Anchorage at 4:52pm after all. There's still hope :)
 
Horray! Mine too! Estimated Delivery is May 4 though. Any hope to get it the next day in San Jose?

It still has it estimated at tomorrow, I have my doubts but I received my last shipment at their estimate. I'm in Ontario, in the GTA to be more specific so hopefully it can make its way here by tomorrow.
 
It's been 12 hours since my order status changed from Not yet shipped to Prepared for shipment. Anyone else's order take over 12 hours to finally ship?
