I bought my RMBP at the Orlando Mall Of Milenia Apple Store on Tuesday around noon. I love it but I hope I didn't make a mistake by getting the 256gb. I guess I'm going to utilize an external drive.
 
Thanks!

Not from the apple store... from the Altamonte Best Buy.

Apple stores seem to be selling primarily to business customers.
Oh, haha. My bad.

Well this is even better news for me.

Wow! That is so freaking close to me.

Congrats.

Lucky. I was there yesterday at 10 because they said they had them in stock when I called, but I didn't get one.

Doesn't seem right to me.
 
Of the three Apple stores in my large major metro area, two stores were restocked this morning.

I was at the one nearest my home and several sales were transacted while I assisted a friend exchange his. We looked at three till one was found without the uneven color issue the displays have.

I got lucky, as mines fine. These are very nice machines.
 
Update: Another Best Buy I was on a waiting list at just called me saying they had it in stock and they will do BOTH the $200 off and the $150 gift card! Woo!

the one on harrison? tried giving them a call and they said they'd just give either the 200 discount or the gift card, but wouldn't give both.

what kind of proof do they ask to become eligible for the student discount?

Yes, on Harrison. They hadn't heard of the GC but I showed the receipt someone else had posted and she tried it out and it worked. She didn't ask me for any ID - I also just graduated but I look college-age for sure.

Here's mine again - it has the store # and everything so they can't say they won't do it ;)

No problem! Good luck finding one - I feel incredibly lucky :)

If your school e-mail still works you could always try that.
 
First post in the forums and I would like to both thank and apologize to the posters from Central Florida.

Thank you for the heads up that the Best Buys in Tampa/Bradenton received shipments today as shortly after that I called the East Colonial store, which was out. The Florida Mall store who said they had just gotten two in stock but with the amount of tourists that are always in there, they would for sure be gone. Then came the Altamonte store where I was successfully able to pick up one of the only two they received (the other being for display).

I apologize for taking a local one off the market. You will get yours soon enough and it will be glorious.


Noooooooooooo!!! I called the altamonte store and they told me someone had just picked up the last one! Haha It was you! Glad you got it though. Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow :rolleyes:

Hey jhuang, if you have a scanner and don't mind posting a full image, please do so. And post a thread. Definitely would like to get a full proper pic by the time it becomes available here.

What do you mean by "full image"?
