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!

I think I may hold the record for the fastest order to ship time for the 17" MBP. Ordered it at around 8PM EDT and by 4AM it was shipped! I didn't expect this. Says it delivers by Monday, the 23rd. :D

Here's a screenshot. Edited out personal information of course. It's the completely stock configuration.

FedEx comes early to me also. UPS is usually after 5 pm. I'm glad US orders are going FedEx.

What are you studying?

My major's Computer Science but I'm already doing PL/SQL stuff at work... which is funny because in school, I'm still doing basic java :rolleyes:

Ok, my FEDEX status just changed to "in transit." Lookin' good.

My estimated delivery is Monday 2/23, however, I have a feeling it will be here tomorrow.

I am having mine delivered to work so that I don't have the "we tried to deliver, but no one was home" run around.

Please note: All the above is assuming I cannot rendezvous by jetliner this afternoon at 2:03pm Texas time with the FEDEX plane.

lol. My hope of arriving tomorrow just died because it said my system's still in Shanghai on 2/19 @ 5am PST.

That looks like my fedex page. I'm highly thinking it'll arrive on the 23rd now.
 
Ok, so I ordered the matte on 27 jan. Not yet shipped. I seriously can't wait anymore. I am considering switching to glossy. Does anyone know if matte is important for web designers/video editing? I am doing a digital media course, and not much/or any press/print work. So will it matter if i get glossy? I got matte, since i heard it better for design, but i hate the silver bezel!

I just want it now lol :(

Mine says the same, mine is coming to Boston so we're probably on the same boat. :) I hope it comes tomorrow but I doubt it unless the plane from China comes directly to Logan or JFK and overnight they go out to the warehouses. No idea where the plane comes in though.

We got the shaft though because ours didn't go out yesterday, it was after the fedex pick so they didn't make the plane yesterday...if they did they would be here tomorrow for sure. :-(

matte vs glossy is an ever continuing debate. it's really all a matter of personal preference.

i ordered the matte display because i think that colors arent as saturated as glossy. glossy seems to over saturate colors. i could never get a good color calibration on a glossy display.

everyone i know that video edits or does serious photography uses matte displays. i'm sure there are lots of people who know people in the reverse. in the end, take a look at both and see which you prefer.

i get a headache from the glare too. your milage will vary.

ciao,
mike.

Im going to be using mine for Photo Editing. Sure the glossy is gonna give me some headaches but after a good color calibration and working in a light controlled room, it should be okay.
 
Thanks for the replies guys! I guess I will just stick with matte. I just hate the silver bezel :( And the fact it doesn't have the 60% gamut increase.

Yeah, how do you think I can afford a $3,000 laptop! ;-) Thanks, glad you like it.

rocking. if you ever want some ideas for other apps, PM me. i have lots of things i want to do, but not enough time to do them.
 
Ok awesome news about the gamut :D Just want the damn thing now.

I hope the matte will be as strong as the glossy/glass. It would be cool to have a something that you can attach on to the matte laptop so it can have the black border lol.

+ and they didn't block 3.217$ on my bank accont, just 108$ , why? :)

It'll be the same as the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air has the same screen/bezel design.

The printer is priority. They'll ship that first. The educational store just requires your university e-mail i think.
