Hi,
Hope this helps, my MBP was shipped on 17th & in transit until yesterday evening when the message changed to 'UK Distribution Centre', then 3hrs later to TNT with a tracking number. I called TNT who said it would be delivered today-at last! Latest is (from TNT) out for delivery from their Wellingborough depot at 7.00am-so not long now.
(Ordered 13 Jan, 2.93, 7200 & Applecare, that seems to slow things up)

Mine's pretty much the same as yours, Roger. Just substitute "Gatwick" for "Wellingborough" and "iWork" for "Applecare". Oh, and I ordered on 15 Jan.
 
Just for the peopel who say they prefer a CRT for "professtional designers", CRT ain't gloss, it has an anti-glare coating on it. CRT are accurate in general is basically wrong.

The porfesstional grades CRT are very accurate, but now SONY has made an LCD which is more accurate than their predecessors.

Hi all,

I just received mine...I have been playing with it for an hour or so...This thing is gorgeous! My first mac ever. I had to wait quite long for this as I ordered on the 7th of Jan and got delayed because of I ordered Applecare with it. Very happy now and well worth the wait!! I am in the UK.

I received my 17" MBP Friday. I was so exited! Finally! It is a beautiful machine. It turns out, though, that the 9600M GT video card is bad and the laptop has to be replaced. :mad:

Do you think if I ask Apple for an upgrade, like the 2.93GHz proccessor, they would give it to me for all of this inconvenience?

You should get some compensation. Why not ask for some sort of upgrade. Good luck.

I called to see if I could pick it up. The woman didn't think so, but referred me to their international office. She said it all depended on how the containers come in and how they are packed.


The phone number is 800-455-4588 Central Time.

I'll call in 25 minutes when they open 8AM Central Time. So perhaps this number would be useful to anyone else interesting in trying for a pickup.

Just to let you know those who are ordering SSD from Apple...
You are not getting Samsung Superfast SSD but you're getting Toshiba SSD instead.
Click to expand...

You might want to mention the specs on the Toshiba 256GB are better than the Samsung 256GB.

....................... Samsung Toshiba Intel-160
Max Read Speed 220MB/s 240MB/s 250MB/s
Max Write Speed 200MB/s 200MB/s 80MB/s

I think we need a real world shoot out to figure out which one will perform the best. The good news is 512GB and 1TB SSD are coming with this level of performance.

Mine is in Norwalk, 20 minutes away! If it makes it here in the next 90 minutes I will have it today! I didn't think that would happen this morning, but now it looks possible.

when you get it . can you please post some pictures. You ordered a matte SSD like me right ??
 
Been playing with mine for a while now. It's drop-dead gorgeous. I won't be able to do much until my MAC is registered with IT, so I'll put it away until I get home.
 
the anti-glare

Could anybody who gets delivery of the anti-glare screens today, please post some pics.

I think many people are still curious to see the actual screen and the fitting around the gray bezel, etc.

I'll post some too, but by the time I end up getting mine (some time next week), it won't be of interest any more...
 
So the FedEx says that the package was picked up on 24th 11:20am. "Package was received after FedEx cutoff". So what's that mean, will it fly today or not? Also in the shipment email. it says delivers by 27th, and that happens to be my day off!!!
 
For everyone to know!!!

If you want something quick dont order via a Apple Retail Store ...

I know there are some people that have no outher option then order via a Retailer but the issue is that customers that has ordered via Apples Online Store have a higher priority then the customers that have ordered via a Apple Retail Store or any outher retail store for that mather ...

I ordered 8 of Jan and my MBP will PROBELY be skipped in the beggining of Mars.

its a 2.96 ghz ssd 4 gb ram anti-glare ...

so there you have it .. you fellows who have order online via Apple Store have a higher priority then poeple like me ...

:(

How long between Assembled/ready to ship and actual ship?

Anyone?
Click to expand...

Not sure about the assembled to ready but once is got to ready/prepared to ship it was < 24 hours to go to shipped. I ordered on the 25th Jan so assembly to prepared was just less than a month :( (although for others its been a lot longer)
 
The TNT guy just pulled up on my drive, got out, wrote on some list, waited 5 minuets, then left without leaving a note or the MBP!! wtf?!?!?!

TNT said its due to be delivered today but this is just wierd man :p
