Hahaha you told an Indian person to have a good Ramadan. That's like telling an American to have a good Canada Day except with a religious connotation.
Got a tip for us?

There are about 140,000,000 Muslims living in India. He had a decent shot at getting it right.

I thought about doing that but I've read a lot about OP having problems with them. I just ended of buying Apple's SSD along with Apple Care.

I remembered one of my friends vaguely telling me that Syed is derived from Sayyid. Anyways, no harm done...I hope.
13" Airs are out of stock all over the place. Apple's shipping them as they get new ones from the factory.
Yup, just walked in with the sealed box. Told them it was a gift, but I really wanted a higher end model. First store checked the serial number. It didn't show up in their systems as being bought from Apple Retail or Apple Online so I was denied. At second store, I saw the salesperson scan the serial and not see a sales receipt, but he gave me credit $1199 credit anyway. That $1199 is deducted from the price of whatever product you're buying, so you're only taxed on the price difference.
There's nothing to lose with giving it a try, unless someone's the type that can't handle rejection. The worst is they'll just say no.
I was able to save a considerable amount of money.
11" i5/4/128: $1199
- $59.01 (Regular Amazon discount on i5)
- $228 (20% coupon)
- $94.05 (8.25% tax credited to $1199 Apple price)
- $100 Student Discount on 11" i7/4/256
---------------------
$481.06 saved
$1167.94 (+$28.87 tax on price difference) out of pocket for the $1649 11" i7/4/256. With 8.25% tax on the $1649, I just saved 38.61% off MSRP.
That doesn't include the free $100 HP printer I can easily turn around for $50-70 and the $100 Mac App store credit.
Oh, and HUGE THANKS to ace36 for posting this on the forums. Once I saw his post, I drove to BestBuy and bought the Kindle (which I'm keeping), set it up, and ordered a MBA off Amazon. All in less than 30 minutes.
My MBA 13/4/128 Shipped!
My MBA 13/4/128 shipped tonight. I ordered on August 1 and it was supposed to be delivered Aug 5. I had the KSO discount applied after my order since it didn't ship. For the two week delay I was given $50 in credit from Amazon. Final cost was $938 (34% discount from buying at Apple store.) Thank you Amazon. Good luck to everyone who is waiting for the 13".

Great news!
Ordered mine on the 5th and still showing:
August 30, 2011 - September 15, 2011
The MacBooks don't qualify for the promo anymore. It's been discussed in the past 20 or so pages. Unfortunately you are too late.
? the post you're quoting is from two weeks ago. i'm sure he didn't have a problem.
Sort of. You have to buy a code from eBay and beg the rep via chat to apply it to a Mac. Then he could check and see that you don't have a kindle and the whole sham is up.
It's pretty risky now.
I ordered my 13/256 on the 9th. Numerous reps I spoke with last week told me it would be shipped out by this week. Now I talked with some reps earlier this week and they once again said they had no idea when it would ship and that I might as well quit asking basically because they will email me if and when they every find anything out.
Ordered around 430pm on 8/5, base 13"
Delivery estimate is Aug. 29 - Sept. 20th.
Has anyone else noticed Bestbuy is sold out of Macbook Air's as well?
I guess it isn't' just Amazon having issues, because they're completely sold out that you can't even place an order.

No not that, I'm just saying it's kind of similar to when there's a new iPhone out. The apple stores always have stock, but no one else can seem to get it. Apple reserves more stock for themselves
Looks to be Apple has a big winner on their hands with the 13" (especially if they can't even keep it in stock at their own stores).
