Does anyone know how long it generally takes Best Buy to get new Apple items? I really want the new MacBook, but i am going to use a Best Buy gift card i have to make it a little more affordable, so I have to wait till it hits the shelves in the store.

Does anyone know how long it has taken in the past for them to get new Macs?
 
It took 3 weeks to get the ipod touch to my store but stores 60 and 100 miles away had them in 2 weeks.

I called my BB yesterday to ask about the new MB . They said it was due to ship yesterday as well (wednesday). They said the shipment was due Friday. I want to believe them but who knows...

Thanks. I hope they were right. Best Buy has two of the 4 new models online now available for pre-order. The estimated date of arrival ranges from Oct. 22-30, so hopefully that means they will be in stores soon.

This will be my first Mac and i cant wait.

Edit: They now have all of the new ones and have dropped the price on the old 2.4Ghz whitebook
