iMac G5 Now Shipping

My 20" is in Anchorage as well with a due date of Thursday by 10:30 am.

I have always found that if you order on the day of the keynote, you get Fed Ex shipping even though you order the free shipping option. This has worked for me on an iMac, iBook, Powerbook, the 4G iPod and now the newest iMac.

Thanks Apple.
 
I already got mine

Well, I just received my new iMac G5 today. :p I shipped it overnight from Cupertino to Portland, and I got it about 10:30 this morning. All I can say is "Damn, its skinny! How did they fit all of that stuff in there."

They didn't mention it on their site when the 2.5 G5 started shipping as well, no big deal :)
 
I actually got the free shipping and it says it will be here on the 16th by 10:30am. I ordered on the 9th too. The only problem is that whole "IMAC G5 17/1.8/256/80/SD/56K/100-120-USA M9250LL/A" when it should be the 20, although the model number is for a 20. We will see what I get I suppose(I was billed for the 20 btw)
 
you got your in portland?was it BTO?im like an hour away and i ordered mine the first day...this sucks :( its cool you got it though :cool:
 
Good news folks, FedEx finally updated their shipping info and it was last in Providence RI (about 50 miles away) early this morning and is slated for delivery today. I will post pictures as soon as I get home.

I'm going to have a really hard time concentrating in school today. :)
 
Ramping up has gone very smoothly the past few weeks it would seem. Much smoother then the previous iMac which had assembly problems with the chrome arm, if you remember. Supplies will be constrained, however. Apple will not be able to fullfill all orders until Nov-Dec. This assumes that IBM has had no problems making the chips. Can anyone who has received their iMac tell us which chip is being used. 90nm or the earlier one (120nm I think).
 
WHAAAAA???

My 17" iMac shipped this morning!!!
Ordered on 9-3-04, original ship date was 10-4-04.
Not stock-upped the HD to 250, FCE installed.

Was not expecting this-gotta get to Crucial ASAP-was in no hurry to order RAM since I had (thought) a couple weeks to think it over--luckily they often do overnight shipping whether you pay for it or not.

I'm still in shock?!?
 
iMac with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse 09/30

My iMac is coming with these Bluetooth enabled options.
On the Apple web page for the wireless accessories it tells you to use a wired keyboard and mouse for setup.
My existing keyboard and mouse are pre-usb so I can't use them.
Will I need to have a usb set standing by to help set up??
Thanks!
 
as far as I know someone from Apple said that they use 90 nm chips.
Until now my iMac hasn't been shipped...
 
It seems like the shipping order is going stock first, then BTOs without BT. So hopefully those of us who ordered BTOs with BT will be the next batch to ship. Hopefully that will be soon!

I am anxious to see all these pics of people who recieved their iMacs!
 
I ordered TWO iMacs at 6:30 am on the 31st....I upped the RAM to 512, the HD to 160 and had BT put in. Shipping date is still "on or before 9/29"....I'm jealous of those who have already received, but frankly 2 more weeks really isn't that bad!

Now let's see some PICTURES!!!!

I don't understand why Xbench seems to be the deciding factor in your purchase, wait until one hits your local store, play with it for a while, and then decide. Figures don't say everyting, especially nog Xbench scores
 
20" BTO shipped

Just wanted to let everyone know that my 20" BTO (Final Cut Express installed) shipped today. So there is hope for all of you out there. I ordered by noon on the day of announcement.

How about Cinebench 2003 scores with the G5 version? that really gives a good comparison for video card performance and CPU performance. And you can compare those scores to intel platforms too since there is a version for Windows.

Congrats!! I look forward to seeing the pictures, and hopefully some benchmarks too. Make sure to post the full specs of your iMac, too.
 
What does this mean

My BTO 20" still says on or before 9/29, but I just got an email invoice from Apple for the expedited shipping charges. And in that email it says shipped on 9/14/2004.

So for those of you with shipping confirmations, did you get an email like this ahead of time???

Here's what apple sent: - And yes, I am a Cannuck, hence the bilingual message.
