Just spoke with someone at the apple store, and they were expecting to get some 17" demo models in "any time", so things are looking up.

Yep. Apple Nordic is giving a small press conference/presentation in Stockholm next wednesday (Feb 4) so at least the machines are on their way.

Hoping to get mine in less than two weeks from now. That would mean about four weeks wait from placing the order (Jan 10).
 
They haven't charged my card yet either, maybe when I see that charge it's a good idea it's on the way?
 
website change

on the canadian store website, it now has a 'now shipping' logo attached to the 17" computer, right beside iLife which is now shipping as of yesterday. My order hasn't changed from the 12th of Feb.

I phoned the main San Francisco Apple Store late on Wednesday and was told there is a real possibility they will have the 17" MBP (glossy screen) on sale on FRIDAY of this week. He didn't have any predictions about when the anti-glare version would be coming).

Don't blame me if he's wrong, but that is what he said.
 
That is not to bad. I ordered on the 16th of January and ship date shows the 3rd of march:(:(

Where do you live? I ordered one in Thailand and the ship date is was 18 Feb... when I called them to change the keyboard layout to the US one then my ship date changed a day after and the deliver date got bumped up 10 days earlier.
 
Been itching to order this every day for the last couple of weeks but I'm going to wait to see if it pops up in the stores on Tuesday. :eek:
 
Still feb 13th for me.

I cannot wait! Need a laptop again! My 17"powerbook kicked the bucket on christmas eve (what luck) and i've been laptop-less since.
 
WTF, I'm going to be pissed [at Apple] if people who are ordering today get it before me when I ordered weeks ago. My date has not changed as of this morning...still scheduled for the 13th.


Good Grief Charlie Brown. You will get your computer in the first few days of February. Don't get angry, instead, just be ready next week.
 
Now I just can't wait for some other people who also got this MBP and finally get their hands on it and make a detailed review out of it. So I would know what kind of superweapon it is that I have ordered :p

The only thing is that the Apple store is most likely to only carry the 2.66ghz model but not the higher 2.93ghz model.
 
want it now

I´ve pleaced my order at 2009-01-08 so it should be shipped somewhere around 2009-02-11 . But I´ve heard nothing yet from the local :apple: store .

I feel like a child befour xmas ... but then again a 2.93ghz 17 inch matte with 256GB SSD is no present for a child :D
