I wonder if the CPU is socketed or fixed? If fixed, then there is minimal effort involved in popping in memory boards.

Has a system shipped with extra software loaded?

Fixed, below is a picture from iFixIT

Macbook Pro 17 inch from Apple store is now 7 to 10 days from previously 3 to 4 weeks. Looks like its coming off the assembly line pretty quickly now!
 
I think I'm going to end up ordering online. I've been waiting since they announced it as well, but I figured everything would go according to plan and I'd be able to pick it up in the store "late January" like they said.

Now nobody knows when they will show up in stores and when they do, they might sell out right away. Unless I call every day and be a pest, I could miss out on getting one.

Even with the mid-March ship date I'd have, I think I'm better off online. What do you think? I just want the stock model.

Go ahead and order now. As previously stated, the US Apple store has changed from 3-4 weeks to 7-10 days. Shouldn't be too long of a wait.
 
Stock 17" MBP Shipped.

My stock 17" MBP shipped last night. It went from "prepared for shippment" to "shipped" in less than 8 hours. FedEx tracking info showed it picked up in Shanghi, China at 7:27PM Feb. 17th (local China time) and my estimated delivery date is Monday, Feb. 23rd.

I am in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

My order went through from Applecare on Jan. 20th. (this computer is replacing a late-2008 model that broke)

I can't wait for Monday! :D:apple:

I think it was more like ...

China => Korea => Germany => Poland

The reason they show-up funny is that the tracking doesn't adjust the times based on the different time zones. Hence, mine shows to have arrived in Korea before it left China, and arrived in Germany before it left Korea!

Anyway, it has since left Poland. I just hope that the next stop to be UK!





Funny updates I've had.

Yesterday, all throughout the day it was saying "Not yet shipped", and then all of a sudden, it said "Shipped". There was nothing in between. It just suddenly got shipped. This morning, however, it said "delayed" but still "for delivery 19th" for some odd reason which I couldn't figure out, but the tracking with UPS was showing a progress of its travel across the globe.

So, when did the tracking number appear? No idea :confused: .. is the tracking information accurate? Obviously not, since Apple's site says it's "delayed" while UPS says it's since left Poland.

:confused::confused::confused:






Yes, I have a UPS tracking number .. and it seems that it's on schedule for delivery .. if the UPS tracking is accurate, and Apple's site "delivery for 19th" is accurate too.

Surely it would go from Poland to Germany to the UK and not the other way around? Have you checked a map? Polands further away and closer to China...
 
Well it weird to me that now a person can order the computer now and possibly get it before mine. I'm starting to be unhappy as this will be my first mac and it's already not starting off too good.:(
 
oh i just found out if you ordered any extras such as i ordered a new remote along with my MBP you wont get your UPS delivery tracking number until your MBP is nearly or actually in the UK, because they add the remote to your package at a depot near the delivery point. That sucks.

Anyone in NY waiting for their Macbook Pro with a shipment date of the 18th and arrival date of the 23rd? My tracking says its in Transit in China as of Feb 19, 2009 2:32 AM Origin time with FEDEX. Keep me updated!

I have the exact same information, dates and time, did your delivery date changed from 20 to 23 this morning?
 
Just ordered it, completely stock. 2-3 day shipping option.

MacBook Pro, 17", Aluminium
Ships: 7- 10 business days
Delivers: Mar 2 - Mar 9

Should have done this when they announced them instead of waiting on stores. Now I don't have to call or worry about it going out of stock anymore. Still get to play the waiting game though. :p
 
My order is already prepared for shipment. The available credit on my card also went down by the appropriate amount.

WTF?! I just placed it about 20 minutes ago!
 
Sweet. Mine's in Anchorage. Does anybody know if it will make a stop in Canada before it reaches me? And if it does, where? Vancouver? Calgary? Hopefully not anywhere in Ontario.

Either way, it is on its way to me .. I just hope to be able to get it tomorrow :), whichever route it wishes to take. For all I care, it could keep shuttling between Germany and Poland all night, so long that I get it tomorrow :p

I checked it at around 7am NY time this morning and it just said the 23rd for delivery. I called apple and they said that it was still scheduled with them for shipment on the 20th. I also spoke to a fedex delivery man and he said that shipments from China are usually pretty fast and that there is no reason that we wont have it by friday. I think it just depends on the customs process. Keep your fingers crossed!
 
Ordered through the ADC store on Jan 29 and today it went from Not Shipped to Prepared for Shipment. Still says shipping February 19th. Stats as in signature, and it's glossy.
