Yikes. I lived in Manhattan years (many years) ago and was amazed at how completely closed down the whole place was by midnight.
Depending on what you want and where you are, there's a chance you could pick up a CTO option at a local Apple Store?
Interesting. Makes sense for them to close to change things for new product switchovers. I remember when I was in NYC during a hurricane, they were one of the only places open. And it was packed. Never did go in there overnight though.

Manhattan closed down by midnight? Sounds like you were in a different part of Manhattan than I was.
On the other hand, I love the store at Grand Central. I went less than 2 months after it opened, and was so stoked to do so. It's my favorite Apple store that I've been to, much more impressive than the one on 5th Avenue.
A likely safe assumption. It's not launching with the fanfare of the watch, so they're likely not going to put out a press release for it, haha.
I do hope they have an in-store pickup option for the MB tho.
It's actually a little odd that they've got dates all over the Watch pages and nothing specific on the rMB pages. I'm not even going to think about getting uptight about it, but it's sort of odd.
True. If you add the MB's overall presence on the web, this might not be too hectic a first day. I'll probably mosey on over to store.apple, on Thurs 9:00pm local time and make a decision then.
If there's a delay then maybe its better to order 2nd choice, a rMBP and then keep a close eye on the refurb page. A refurb rMB actually sounds pretty good.
Is it really Available April 10th?
So,
Just went to the Apple Store. I'm like a lot of people I suspect, debating Macbook vs less portable 13 inch Pro (Air and it's non-retina screen not for me).
Asked the Apple store employee about if they've heard when it will be available on April 10th. She said it was interesting how March 10th is the presumed date of availability but it is nowhere to be found on the Applestore website and she hasn't seen any documentation of it on that date either from Apple. Was it in the Keynote?
Seems odd they'd put it on sale at the same time as the watch=disaster/headaches?

I think the exact wording from the keynote was "shipping April 10th". So maybe it's not in stores to buy April 10th? In any case, I'm going to go to my local Apple store during the weekday the following week to take a look at it myself. I hope it'll be less crowded than the weekend of April 10th.
The question is do they put out product at 3am?

5th Ave Apple Store was a life saver when I needed to catch a flight at 5am and had smashed my 6+ just a few hours earlier. I was in and out and caught my flight.
