Waiting for 27" Quad to SHIP thread

[Epi1mg]

Mixed message

I just called apple to see about adding Final Cut Express to my BTO quad core. The rep said it could be done but he asked me to hold while he checked if this would change delivery or my order position. He came back on about a minute later and said that I could add it as pre installed and that it would not change my order position. This sends a mixed message to me... Guess my computer isn't sitting on a runway in china ready to go... Also my CC still has not been touched.

New i5 and i7 iMacs have been popping up on German eBay over the weekend, with estimated shipment dates of the 9th and the 13th.

My 2GHz G5 iMac (ambient light edition) is in for repair since a few weeks. Yes, it's one of those that have been made using defective capacitors. In my case the trouble only started after 4.5 years, and Apple's extended warranty for this issue has expired. New logic board + power supply costs €600... My home insurance covers it, but I would have preferred to get the cash to instead to pay a part of the i7...

I wonder where they get their information...

Der neue iMac 27" Intel Core i5 Quad-Core mit 2,66GHz ist voraussichtlich ab 09. November 2009 lieferbar!!!

Translated: The new 27" Intel Core i5 Quad-Core w/ 2.66GHz is expected to ship at 09. Nov.

Very strange.
Today is the 9th in Germany.

I hope they don't lie!

I too have been watching this thread like a hawk lol It's pretty funny how long we've all been waiting. However I have a dif problem. I am still waiting to purchase my quad-core since I know an apple employee I get a nice discount and worth the wait. The only thing is he says it's not up on the employee site yet. Anyone have any details on when it might be up for purchase for an apple employee?

If an Apple employee knows when and states the date, he would probably not be an Apple employee anymore and you may not get your discount...

discount

I work at starbucks for health insurance... there is a discount for starbucks employees and its open for family or friends... I ordered my i7 with that... its an EPP discount, but I suppose its not as good...

Anybody in here order a C2D w/ 4850 after Apple changed the shipping date to 7-10 days? Does your order say the same shipping date (7-10 days)?

 

[mikeBCpro5]

This anticipation has made me rememberize my order number like my telephone number...

High hopes for ship this week!

Yeah if all else fails I am gonna get it with the EPP discount thru my boyfriend who is in the army. I just hate the wait! lol

Yeah he doesn't know he just said it wasn't available yet and didn't know when it would be available. They can't get it if it's low on stock something like that

the core2duo 27" iMacs are now listed as 7-10 days of shipping (no longer 3-5).
wtf is going on with the 27" iMacs?
I really wish Apple would tell us...

4850

 

[camgrant84]

Well...

My card was charged the full amount on the 5th. It is still showing as having been charged today.

However, the Apple rep on the phone just told me that it is a bank authorisation. "No quad core imacs will be shipped before the end of the month, and even then it may take 2 to 3 weeks longer to get them"

/sigh

Announce it on the 20th of Oct and ship it just for Christmas? I don't think so... not even Apple can afford that kind of delay! I hope...
