Good for us then :D

But i really hope there's no delay because of displayissues...

If there are any major issues, I prefer they delay. I don't want to be bothered with returning items and waiting for it again. Don't you think it is too troublesome? and I want great experience with the machine :D
 
i just don't get it that estimated shipment times are beginning to decrease and people are getting there machines rather faster then expected and now i got a completely other information from a reseller... :rolleyes:

My laptop is due to arrive by 10:30 am today but I've started to have second thoughts about the memory upgrade. I would hate to have to go through a whole other waiting process! Maybe if ABT gets in stock I'll return the one I receive and order from them.

Yeah, mine was in that same shipment group from China, so I'm expecting to the the little beauty sometime this morning. :)

For me memory and storage space were easy decisions.

My current MBP's (mid 2009) bottleneck seems to be memory. Even maxed out at 8GB it struggles. I'm a web developer, so I have lots of apps open at the same time, primarily Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Aperture and various browsers. Safari seems to be the worst memory hog offender but I use it lots. There's normally not enough left of the 8GB for me to run Parallels too. For it to have enough memory to run decently I need to shut down other stuff.

When I got the 2009 MBP it ran just fine with 4GB of memory. As my needs grew and as applications' appetite grew for memory I was able to extend the machine's usability by doubling its memory. Currently doing that with the rMBP doesn't look very feasible.

For storage I'm currently using around 250 GB, so I knew 256 GB wasn't going to cut it. Although my storage space needs have increased in the last 3 years, it's been a slow and gradual increase. I doubt I'll need anywhere near double the space in the next 3-5 years, so to max out the SSD would have been a waste.

I see Apple's shipping estimates for rMBP's are now down to 2-3 weeks in the US for all configurations.

Countdown to kickoff. :D

Waiting here in Israel for my 2.3/16/256, ordered on 6/26 through EDU.
we don't have Apple here, only 'iDigital', who are the "premium re-seller" in Israel.
I have no way to check the status of my order, no way of knowing when it will arrive. They have no information, no idea where the computer is.
"Premium" my a$$. :mad:

Resellers don't even have a clue what they're talking about.
They rather shut their mouth than making something up.
If there are some kinds of bigger problems with the displays than we would know it by now from other sources.

At least you've got progress. Mine is still in Louisville. UPS is pretty good when I'm getting orders within Southern Ontario but they seem to suck really bad for international orders. Gesh. I already complained to apple when they dropped the ball with all of the iPad 3 pre orders. I told them to stop using UPS but I guess there wasn't enough complaints to make the switch. Unless they used UPS this time to spite me :p
 
I've been sitting at the local FedEx facility in Shanghai for 57 hours- no movement.

Disappointing, but I was SO happy to wake up this morning and see that my credit card had finally been charged- I received the shipping notification over 48 hours before my charge showed up...very strange!

I was hoping it would get here before the estimated delivery of the 19th, but I'm not holding out much hope since it's still sitting in Shanghai.

would you prefer all the mis-scans over it staying in louisville? because there is a direct UPS flight from louisville to pearson airport everyday at ~4am

Same here. Sucks.
 
My shipment to London looked great until it reached Germany. Now it just sits there and doesn't move.

I just got it...haven't opened the box first thought I'd take a moment to thank you guys!

As far as RAM is concerned, my brother is buying a 16gb model and is willing to trade with me as my needs are much greater than his (I have to pay him the $200 premium of course). Also, as far as my storage needs go I have a home server that stores all entertainment files so my OS actually only needs like 100gb :).
 
Waiting again

So.. the waiting begins again.. :mad:

I got my rMBP today and it turned out to have a black spot in the display..
Looks like some dust or something, looks pretty weird..

I called Apple and they immediately ordered a replacement.
They told me it should arrive quicker, like in 7 days, but the order page says 2 to 3 weeks...
I will be contacted by a courier to return the defective one, but they told me I could make an appointment 1 1/2 weeks from now to try and create some overlap..

And they credited me €100,- for the trouble..

Congtats on the new rMBP! :D

Nice brother. I think mine would have done the same thing...but at a premium price. ;)

:apple:
 
So Apple FINALLY charged my credit card for the order at 3am EST today. I can't believe this is real. Still stuck at processing though... how long does it typically take to see the order status page change?

Woohoo! Just delivered, and it's perfect. Definitely worth the wait. Congrats to all of those with new deliveries, and good luck to those of you still waiting. Hope the wait ends soon!
