i just spoke to amazon rep for my new order of 13" mba 256.... he said it will ship sept 24th????????????????????????????????????????

and im so dumb.... i just cancelled my mba 13" 128gb ssd order for thisss ARGHHHH. it was showing me shipping dates of end of aug ..... this is HORRIBLE.
 
The Amazon guy is obviously just going by what the computer is telling him and has no idea when the order will really ship. Others' experiences on here would suggest it will be much sooner.

My estimate for my 11" was August 30-September 16, but I found out today that it's coming tomorrow, August 10th.

Yeah hopefully I, along with everybody else will receive their laptops ASAP! This was a great promo by Amazon, but they quickly ran out of stock on all their top laptops, even Windows ones.:rolleyes::apple::apple::apple::apple::apple:

My quote is August 23 to August 30. How did yours ship sooner? Did you buy the base model? Also, how were you notified? Did they just send you a shipment notice? Or did the status change first? Thanks!

An offer like this is too good to pass ....anyone that does pass up... Is a fool or just plain rich hah. I just bought 3 256gb ... Hoping to make money on all of them . And why would amazon present with these deals when they don't have the stock to show for ? I'm puzzled .

Hahahaha hey ... If I'm getting paid 350+ for each of them..... It's pretty decent ... All cus of the kindle codes haha. Ill probably keep one tho.. 128gb is way too Low. I hated the 128gb version. I hope 256 will quench my lossless thirst.
 
Hi, I used to be a passive lurker without an account but felt compelled to join to wholeheartly thank the OP.

Ordered the 13'/4/256 MBA for $1239.99 which is $60.01 less than the Apple store and $10.00 less than the Educational discount as well!

Cheers!

Apple's education discount has gotten quite pathetic lately. Apple used to be known as educator friendly platform, now - not so much :(

Here, in the Riot-land (UK), its still amazing! about £150.00 off the base 13'MBA and 3 years Applecare warranty on parts and labour. Hopefully it stays at the same level, unlike it currently is over there.

Hurm... The 13'/4/256 is 1,599 at Apple, 1,549.00 education discount. Thats actually a savings of 359/309! Also, probably saved another $100+ on tax if you're in a tax free Amazon state!

Maybe meant you to compare to Amazon price on the 13'/4/256 to the 13'/4/128 apple price? Either way, great deal indeed!
 
Just to update, I called amazon again and they adjusted the price on my 13/256 without problem. Not sure why that wasn't the case last night

Good catch! I meant to say "Ordered the 13'/4/256 MBA for $1239.99 which is $60.01 less than the Apple store and $10.00 less than the Educational discount off the base model as well!"

Unlike the stock market, I was quietly but happily eyeing the gradual drop in prices of the base MBAs since the release of these new ones, to appease any buyer's remorse I may have in the future... until the OP came along.

My order did the same thing. When I placed it last Friday night, the estimated shipping time was August 30-Sept 15th. Tuesday I received an email saying that the status had been updated and I'd receive it Thursday, August 11th (tomorrow). But last night I received another email saying it had shipped, and as of right now, it's "out for delivery" today (confirmed by tracking number). So it's even a full day ahead of the "updated status" I received Tuesday. For reference, I ordered the 11" 4Gb/128Gb model.
