Ultimate 13'' in stores?

Anyone recall if the prior release of the mba had the ultimates in the store during the release day?

I'm wondering the same thing. How can I get one of those babies in my hands by this weekend?

I called my local Apple Stores in Austin, TX and they both told me they couldn't verify if there would be any "ultimate" editions in; they're getting a big shipment in tomorrow and possibly some other UPS/FedEx shipments during the day, but there was no guarantee on the i7s. I personally am still very conflicted if I want the i7 or i5... so if they don't have an i7 there, I'm just going to pull the trigger on an i5.

Thanks for the update. Any way to leave deposit or ensure that you get an ultimate if one does arrive this week?

It would be nice if they had it in stock instead of waiting for it to ship out

Not here; Apple stores are first come first serve as best I remember. I'm probably just going to pick up the i5 myself for battery benefits 🙂
