Wow! I was a little bummed all day after seeing that they delayed the shipping because I didn't want to have to wait an entire month to get a MBP. Well, I'm happy now! I'm ordering a 15" MBP tomorrow with a HD upgrade tomorrow!
Got a tip for us?

So you're saying we should all buy it now with an update imminent? Yes that sounds like a great idea. I'm never sarcastic.
Look, if you want to buy one now then please be our guest, but anyone with a brain (and who knows Apple rumors) would wait...unless they absolutely need one.
I agree with him! Does not mean that new MBP will be release soon!
Probably Intel will give to Apple Montevina months before others.... (like MBA!!!!)

I want a MBP announcement this coming Tuesday, Jan. 29th, and would be very disappointed if the whole premise of this thread is because of a shoulder case😡
Wouldn't Apple ship your MBP right away, and the shoulder case later?

Wait, is there a different HE discount if you order from your university's network than logging into the HE store on Apple's website from home? I can select my university from their finder thing and it says I'm on the special page for it, but all the prices are the same as the regular HE store...
something doesnt add up
I'm in the boat with everyone waiting for the MBP update, BUT I just went on the apple US online store, and every MBP model says it will ship in 24 hours. Are you in UK (or somewhere else), macsleuth? It doesnt make sense why yours would be delayed and none else's...

Last September, I ordered a MBP, a 30GB iPod, and a printer from Apple. They all came separately.
In Canada
Think I found out why, the case for the MBP has changed to shipping, 3 - 4 weeks.
Might change it on Monday to get delivery sonner.

Yes, but they would have all been in stock at the same time. It's in the store terms somewhere.

Hmm, a HE discount is a HE discount. You can't log onto the HE store on Apples wesbite from home because it goes through a portal connected with your universities network. The store that you can access from home is a normal Education store for college/school students but the prices are slightly higher on there (i.e. a low end Macbook on the Education store is £656 whereas on the HE store it's £601).

Is this true? When I log in to the Education store, I get two options. The first is to "take me there" (to my custom apple store for my school), and the second is for the "shop the standard apple store for education". For the first option, I have to log in through my school's website. I've never noticed a difference in the prices though. AND I've never tried it while on camps. I get $100 off the MB, $50 off the iMac, and $200 off the MBP and MP. Anyone get different prices?

In the HE store, you get 14% off the laptops (both Macbook and Macbook Pro) and 16% off the Mac Pro.

Hmmm Ok, maybe it's different in the UK - I'll try tomorrow on campus to see if I can get into a different store. Is that link available from home, but you can only access from school? Or do you only see it when accessing the store from a uni?
Definately the Brenthaven laptop bag!
Just checked my e-mail (been working all week-end).
Got an e-mail from my Apple rep, going to get the order released Monday with out the Brenthaven bag.
Now I'm bummed out thinking an update is around the corner.
But not really sure, ya know.
Ok, I've taken enough time with this post.
Resolved, getting order this week.
If anything changes I'll update you.
Going to start checking the other posts again, so much information floating around here......

Just might make you holding on to that first order..
this week or next week, it's worth the waiting (I hope)

Follow-up from apple
Ok, just got an update e-mail from Apple.
Looks like everything but the Brenthaven bag will ship tomorrow or Wednesday.
It would be nice to get it for the week-end, but it's more likely to arrive next week.
So this Question is dead. My order is not delayed because MBP update is around the corner.
(MBP update may still be around corner, but I'm not getting it, 🙁 ).
🙁🙄🙂

YOU STILL COULD BE GETTING THE NEW ONE!!! That could be why its not shipping till tomorrow or wednesday....cuz thats when the new MBP may come out!!! DONT LOOSE HOPE!😀
i cant wait till tomorrow, PLEASE GOD
in my eyes, i see the 200$ restocking fee worth it...because by buying the revised base model, i will most likely recieve the processors speeds as well as the graphics memory of the 2500$ one, plus other benefits
