Retina iMac shipments delayed 5-7 days!

[metanoiapi]

According to Computer World, Retina iMacs have slipped from 2 day to almost a week!

Is that normal??

Has anyone noticed a delay?

They are just reporting what they see on the Apple store page. It might be that the RiMac is selling briskly.

Demand must be nice and strong

No worries, it's only a few more days (I have a BTO on order)

 

[c.s.]

Looks like 7-10 days now on Apple's website, with no in-store pickup availability either (at least in my area). Glad I ordered one early!

yeah, I just ordered last night and the ETA is Nov 11-14!
That's ok with me but it does *hopefully* mean they are selling quite well.

Actually, it firmly slipped to 7-10 days as of last night. I know this because I ordered and was sad to see the dates slip. The crossover from 5-7 days for custom builds slipped from 5-7 days to 7-10 days sometime between 8pm and 10pm PDT. Right when I was at the Apple Store viewing it in-person before coming home to place my order.

On the happy side, I now have one one order! (Yay!) i7, M295X, 8 GB RAM, 512 SSD, and Applecare.

My Crucial 32 GB upgrade kit from Amazon was delivered yesterday. And on Black Friday, I will be ordering a Thunderbay 4 RAID 5 array from OWC.

Life is good!
