Checked in the Kingston upon Thames apple store, and they said that they don't have the Retina MBP in stock, just the updated regular MBP
Got a tip for us?

Regent Street store maybe. But Covent Garden didn't have theirs when I went in at 1PM yesterday. Guy in store said, "Maybe tomorrow, more likely Thursday."
I called so I am not sure, but if you call I think they should be able to help you. Their number is 020 8233 3400.
Yeah, I'll PM you if I find any. I'm gonna call all 5 stores a few rounds today incase they just shipments in the afternoon or something. One of them HAS to get at least a few.
There are 4 apple stores within an hour of my house. 2 to the west 2 to the east. If they were closer I could swing by all 4 of them and probably get lucky. As it is I will probably test my luck with the west.
If you call them at 9, will they actually tell you stock?

Unless you're opening very large graphic files or run virtual machines that allocate large chunks of memory, 8GB will probably last through this machine's life. OS X is excellent at allocating memory where it needs to go.
Not too long ago, I counted how many Apple stores are within a 40 mile radius and I think we have 12 total. It is pretty insane.
There are 4 in my area...and they are all quite busy all the time! On weekends they are downright crowded!
Ahhh I wish you were in Canada.... but you should consider trying to sell it online (craigslist or ebay), you could actually make a profit
Thanks but not really looking to make a profit, just want someone else to experience the awesomeness. and Canada is awesome btw
Just got off the horn with the Durham, NC store and they told me they have display models but that I shouldn't count on being able to buy one even if I'm the first one in the door. They did however tell me that within 72 hours they would have more than enough to meet everyone's needs. Raleigh, NC told me they are still awaiting their morning shipment but they are hopeful. I'm heading over there right now to see what happens.
Yeah, I have two in walking distance, maybe three if ambitious & another four 20 min away driving. The amazing thing is they are all always busy.
Heading to apple store saddle creek (memphis). They received their shipment yesterday and should have displays up today and also be able to purchase the machine
Charlotte, NC
I'm at the Northlake Mall location right now. I must admit the screen does look quite marvelous and little glare compared to the older versions.
They said they don't have any, but the manager told me they should get some today. I'll keep you updated if I get one today.
Glad I took the week off!

BTW, there isn't any lag for scrolling when scaled to their more or less space option.

Jealous, a bit, of the people who can get to the stores at 10. Unfortunately some of us have to actually work for a living
It is called flex time
Although I might be a bit too busy at work today, I initially asked my husband if he'd take time off work to go with me and he looked at me like I was crazy. He said if they have them, he'd go but he wouldn't go 'just to see'. Pfft.Anyone hear anything in the Boston area? I've called a few stores and was told no stock but there are like 11 stores within 20 miles north or south of Boston and since it seems that some employees are giving out more info then others just figured I'd ask.
Also for those interested Amazon has them up for "preorder" not sure when they'll get them but again I'd bet its sooner than the 3-4 weeks Apple is up to. Also Prime eligible for those who that applies to. Personally I'm using the education discount and a large gift card so that limits me to the apple store. But thought I'd give the heads up in case anyone missed it.

Nothing in Dedham. Was frustrating as I was there yesterday, told they were in stock but being held until tomorrow for sale. They do have 6 on display though.
