I'm starting to regret maxing the CPU and Ram along with the bigger SSD option. I think I'm wasting money. Basically I want it to last me for years, but I honestly think as soon as the 13" Pro gets the retina treatment, I'll be selling it. So why pay a premium now? I don't think the price difference will help much on resale value. Maybe I should just get the base and upgrade ram at the very most. I wish they released a 13" Pro Retina. And then there's the guessing game of will it be in a few months or will it be around next years WWDC. I mean we all know it's coming, the writing is on the wall. I might even just get a refurb Air for now, even though I wanted USB 3.0 and Ivy Bridge. I'm torn at the moment. I'd hop on the 15" Pro retina but that's a way bigger footprint and price tag.
Got a tip for us?

Well this sucks. I live in Melbourne and for some reason TNT decided to send it to Adelaide and this morning tried to deliver it to who knows where. Double checked my order and my address is all correct.
Not sure how fast their turn around time is in fixing these types of things, but I sure hope it's in Melbourne tomorrow - otherwise I have to wait until Monday as it's being delivered to my office. Bah!
Giving em a call..
Edit: well they've sorted it out so it should be headed here soonish

Same, stuck "In transit" in Anchorage since 3PM Alaska time yesterday. Frustrating!
Same for me. I'm originally from there... so at least I've got a visual of where all our precious new MBAs may be sitting. FedEx still has the estimated delivery by 10:30 am tomorrow (Washington, DC), we'll see if they can make it!
I'm actually worried that it won't be here on by the 22nd. Usually it reaches the memphis tn sort facility the day before facility. At this rate, it would be a day late.
Don't worry about it. If FedEx tracking says it will be there by the 22nd.....it will.
So flights from Anchorage to Memphisand Newark have left for the day. But my status is still stuck on "In transit - Anchorage AK"
For those stuck in Anchorage, has your status changed in the last 24 hrs? My estimated delivery is tomorrow at 1030am so naturally I'm getting a bit worried.

Nope - just checked fedex, then came here to see if anyone has said anything new.

Departed FedEx location
ANCHORAGE, AK
Headed to Newark! Woohoo!
Huh - mine is still in Anchorage. Let's see what kind of magic FedEx can do while I sleep.
Stuck at processing ...
So... I ordered the new MBA 13" upgraded rem in SG... it has been 3 full days and still processing ... Longest week of my life....

Well, overnight mine didn't go to Memphis, and instead to Indianapolis and on to Raleigh where I live. So I'm sure it'll be delivered by 10:30 this morning just like Fedex estimated.
Thirty-one pages of shipping status updates? Fascinating!*
* of course, I wouldn't be such a curmudgeon if I were getting one too!

Hahahaha.... well, let me make it more dramatic for you. Mine is STILL in Anchorage! Estimated delivery is still 10:30 am today - obviously not going to happen. A little bitter since I paid for expedited shipping. It looks like at least a couple of others had theirs leave Anchorage last night. I wonder why they've been holding on to mine for so long.
