Just a day after Apple added new build-to-order configuration options to the low-end Retina MacBook Pro, shipping estimates have improved from 1-2 weeks to 5-7 business days in the company's online stores. The faster turnaround time is showing up in the company's online stores in the Americas, and should spread to its Asia-Pacific and European distribution channels shortly.

Shipping estimates for the Retina MacBook Pro quickly ballooned to 3-4 weeks within 36 hours of the machine's introduction in June, holding at that level until mid-July before beginning to come down. The most recent improvement before today came nearly two weeks ago when estimates moved from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 weeks.

My interest in the shipping estimates of the Retina MacBook Pro has improved to 5-7 I Don't Give a S**ts.
 
Yesterday's Base Model options and today's shipping news, I'm just so tempted to order one right now!

You don't give a ****** so much you had to tell people? Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself of something.
 
Basemodel with 16GB would be nice; disk storage via TB; shipment time is short compared to the time i need to convince my wife :eek:
 
Great, so I would get it even quicker, than the guy who ordered this monday..:cool:
 
Was really hoping the 13" retina would be available before tax free weekend. Doesn't look like that will happen.
 
I'm happier about the customization options now than the shipping time. I can now order a low end retina with the big SSD. That is, if I was ordering a retina. But I'm probably not until there's an anti-glare option.
