Ordered on Wednesday around 2:30 Pacific. Looked this morning and my package is prepared for shipment.
 
Ordered mine last night around 10PM PST. Checked my e-mail this morning and it had already shipped out from Shagnhai. I paid the $18 more for 2 day so it should arrive on the 4th to my office.

I purchased the Low end Penryn, and I can't wait!

I wonder if all our macbook pro's are just chillin' on the plane right now hanging out and having a good time....or maybe they are just sitting in boxes being inanimate objects.

I would hate to think that our computers wouldn't be having a good time! I mean they're flying to meet their new owners :p

I have stepped foot into two mac stores since they announced the new laptops and both times they didn't have any 17 inch in stock. Only 15's. I think there is some back order on the screens. That could be why its going to take a few extra days.

Obviously this is just my thoughts from the responses I got from the actual mac stores. Could be completely wrong.

I recommend that you guys try out simpletracking.com to track your computers. I noticed that they give much more detailed tracking information

hi everyone!

long-time lurker, first post!

as soon as the penryn update took place, i got the ok from the wife to take the plunge! (although had to wait until the end of feb. to order!)

just ordered from apple online education store:

2.4 GHz
2 GB RAM
BTO 250 GB HDD
apple remote
ships by: Mar 4-Mar 6
delivers by: Mar 6-Mar 11
paid for 2-3 day shipping - (have a seminar presentation next week - hopefully will have the MBP in time!)
iWork Family Pack

from Crucial: 4 GB RAM

I ordered my 15" 2.5 the morning of the 26th w/Logic added as the only BTO item. It's also showing shipped as of 1 March and delivery by 5 March.

However, I actually suspect that it will arrive Monday, Tuesday at the latest. In my experience, Apple's stuff always arrives ahead of time, expedited shipping or not (though I did request expedited this time). I watched my Touch travel from Shanghai to my doorstep in one day. I think that was via standard shipping.

FedEx doesn't deliver on Sunday, but they push the freight 24/7.
