UK New MacBook Pro Thread.

I ordered on the 14th, and it's turned to "preparing for shipment"!
<snip>
Any guesses as to how long from here? My expected date is 13-19 July. Might I be in for a nice surprise?

Me too. rMBP 2.3/16Gb/256, no accessories.

Very interested in getting an idea how long it normally takes from the shipment point onward as I'm away for a week as of Monday. Would be just my luck to be away when it is delivered!!!
 
Another question: at what point will they actually take funds from my card? Nothing had been debited last time I checked (weekend).
 
Ordered base mbpr on the 12th June, apple site still says processing, delivery 2 -3 weeks, 4th - 10th July :-(

Come on apple, ship my laptop please!

I have no idea why my standard base is taking so long, maybe its due to it also having a university discount and the £70 gift card?

I am going to give this a go, should I use x86 or x64 on my Retina MBP? I guess x64

x64

If you've recently installed on another PC, you may need to go through an automated telephone service to enable your serial number to be used again. I had to do this once before. It will of course cause Windows on the other machine to cease to be activated.

Cool thanks, I will make sure I have all my data copied from my Windows Laptop before I activate on Mac / deactivate on Samsung.
 
Mine finally turned to "preparing for shipment" today. I'm so happy (pathetically happy, really) even though it's 4 days after some people who ordered at the same time as me.

Congrats. It's a great feeling to finally be chosen isn't it?

Mine will be on its way from Frankfurt to London this evening. I work in central London and flights into Heathrow go overhead if the wind is westerly - so I'll keep my eyes out for the Lufthansa Cargo plane from about 6.30pm :)

Yeah mines for Friday delivery too, which I find double annoying as its only a few miles away and I could have it today, but I know they'll probably wait to deliver tomorrow - at the end of the day...

Dammit I dont know why mine got stuck in Germany; what config is yours?

Mines 2.6 512gb 16RAM

Not sure if that would make a difference in customs, I didnt get any adapters either.

Nope mine is the same spec and also no adapters.. I think yours is just on track whereas mine is a tad bit early and now is sitting around tantalizingly close.
