Got mine this morning :) Haven't taken it out of the box yet.

The delay does appear to be due to Apple deliberately getting them held.

On the box there's a Delivery Change Request Directions saying

Hi All. Thank you for your actions on this so far. We have received word from apple requesting now that these are held - not rts yet. Checks are ongoing. Can you please hold and update ECM - no calls needed, apologies for all the confusion.

On the bright side Apple say they're going to give me a "good will" gesture.

Wow great news! Wonder what the gesture will be... App Store credit??

Don't suppose you saw if your UPS tracking updated? Mine still says "Held"... :(
 
Just picked one up from the Newcastle store about an hour ago. Salesman said they just came in this morning.
 
is there anyway you can test some game on it? does it lag at all? what about playing 1080p vid from the air onto the display full screen. please get back to me on this. id really appreciate it.


I dont do any gaming, so I can test that.. 1080p videos play flawlessly
 
For those of you who have ordered and got your displays - I hate you all!

that is all...
 
Anyone noticing increased fan noise or temps while using the 2011 MBA plugged into the thunderbolt display?
 
Question for early recipients.

Does there happen to be a headphone jack to extend audio to external speakers? Currently use a 2.1 logitech system and hoping I can also keep this plugged into the monitor rather than plug and unplug into laptop every time I dock.

Thanks!
 
So people are starting to receive their displays. Where are you located? Anyone in the USA get theirs yet?
 
I think they missed a trick with this one. If they'd put a tiny SSD in to it, they could have had IOS on there with the ability to run an iTunes server from any external drives you had connected. There's already the gig ethernet port on there so it could have made a nice server as well as "docking station".

Does anyone know if the UK stores have stock of these yet?
 
I was surprised to see that. I had assumed I could plug my M-Audio speakers into the display to be connected to my Mac by TB cable.

This only works if you've another bluetooth equipped computer with external speakers but I use bluetooth in the MBA to send the sound output to ones that are superior to the TB display speakers.
 
I called every store in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Western Massachusetts this morning. The only store that had the ATD in-stock was the Greenwich, CT Apple Store. They claimed the shipment had arrived just before I called.

It was an hour and a half drive, but I just got home with mine.

I'd imagine other stores will be getting theirs soon.
 



jus bought it today from apple store in cherry hill, NJ. wooot. loving it. everything works flawless. games, videos you name it. I LOVE THIS AIR and also the crazy DISPLAY heh.
