Please post first hand reports of Apple Retails locations that have new MacBook inventory.
 
I called Ste-Catherine store, Montreal and they didn't have any stock as of 9:00AM Wednesday (October 15th).
 
Portland, Maine store didn't have inventory as of 10:00 AM EST Oct 15th.

I love that the initial post in this thread was a call for people to post store locations THAT HAVE STOCK of the new Macbooks, but the first three posts give locations that are confirmed to not have stock.

I suppose this narrows it down.:p
 
Just spoke with the Apple Store in OKC and they do not have any within the store but are anticipating and planning for a shipment this afternoon.
 
Nothing at any of the stores in the Minneapolis area. The stores stated to make sure and call back this afternoon so I'm assuming they are waiting for their shipments that come later in the day.
 
Well... In that case, I don't feel so stupid for having ordered mine online. I may get it around the same time...
 
On the truck

I ordered mine yesterday and it is on the truck for delivery as we speak. Overnight shipping cost $16. Which considering the Apple store is 90 miles away round trip (and I would have eaten out for lunch) makes the price about even. And I don't think my closest Apple Store (Portland, OR) even has them in yet.
 
My guess is that any store saying they expect them later today doesn't actually have any shipping details to back that up. They are just hoping.

Wow, yours shipped already? That would be insane if you get your MacBook before they even get them in the Apple Stores.
 
Soho Apple Store in NYC did not have them this morning at 9 am, but said that they definitely would later in the day. They had me make an appointment for a personal shopper at 1 pm. They better have them then.
 
The Sydney store appears to as well as Tokyo.

US West Coast stores are just opening now. They may have them because of shorter shipping distance.

So far, I haven't seen any reports of US stores with new inventory.

just call before you go.
 
Apple store in Southlake, Texas has all configurations.

I'm rushing over there now to pick one up!!!
 
I called Portland, Maine store at 1:23PM Oct 15th. Employee said new laptops would be on the floor after 1:00 PM EST Oct 16th.
