My order status has been stuck like this since Thursday.
03 nov 06 32 05 Flight Booked Apple Shanghai 08 nov 06

Calling Apple didn't tell me anything more helpful other than he estimated the delivery date would be a day later, and I wouldn't get the UPS number untill the day before.

Do a refresh .. and you'll be delighted to see that it has changed status .. at least mine did .. to "06 nov 06 40 69 accept scanned at EDC " .. still hoping to get mine this week :)

wish I'd gone the 160gb in hindsight. instead i guess i'll just have to run the optionals off an external drive - any ideas what gaming performance will be like off an external HD? I guess loading times will be slower, do you think it will affect in-game performance?

Monolingual can affect Rosetta, if you choose to mess with the architecture libraries. If you stay away from that, and only select/deselect the human languages, I'm pretty sure it will be fine.

MBP in stock in Manchester?

Hi folks,
this is my first post here so I'd like to say "ciao" to everyone.

Do you know if there are any macbook pros in stock in Trafford Centre (manchester) ?

I'd like to go there, pay and enjoy the new laptop:D


thanks. :)

Yay Yay Yay! :D

Mine just arrived at the EDC.

I think there is now a *slight* chance that I get it a day early (which will mean Friday rather than next Monday).

Tuesday - Taken from the EDC
Wednesday - Items merged in Daventry
Thursday - To depot near shipping in address
Friday - to Me!

At least, I hope it's something like that. :)
That's what I'm hoping for too :)

Does you tracking look something like this: (ordered on 30th morn).

06 nov 06 86 14 booking slot obtained Apple Shanghai 07 nov 06
06 nov 06 30 10 departed direct NLAMS07 08 nov 06

can anybody help explain this info to me ( i got it from the apecode site)

05 nov 06 30 10 departed direct Apple Shanghai 06 nov 06
03 nov 06 86 14 booking slot obtained NLAMS07 06 nov 06
03 nov 06 32 55 flight departed Kuehne & Nagel Shanghai 03 nov 06
30 okt 06 86 05 on hold; aircraft/truck failure KN Luxemburg 03 nov 06
27 okt 06 86 06 shipment on hold due to cargo exceeding daily space allocation KN Luxemburg 03 nov 06
27 okt 06 30 64 Departed from source Kuehne & Nagel Shanghai

from what I'm reading it went from shanghai to luxemberg, back to shanghai then to Amsterdam, and now it's 'departing direct' from shanghai??? Sure this can't be right.

I'm confused

It says estimated delivery 9th of November on the apple site, so i guess it'll be here by then. 13 days for shipping - not very impressive.

That's just like mine.

Is there a chance I could get the MBP on or before Wednesday morning?

This is the same info as I have. You need to ignore the Shanghai bit. The NLAMS07 refers to the EDC in Holland, so the ETA of MBP into England is today. It will then be passed to TNT if you have no Merge in Transit, or UPS if like me you have ordered something on top of the MBP. My guess is now Wednesday for delivery.

Anybody who didn't order something extra (the free printer) is a silly billy.

Apple store online estimates Monday delivery, so do you think Friday is likely? I do want it before the weekend.

Walsh Western is another logistic company and it usually uses a third party carrier. Had my wife's Dell notebook and my Dell TFT monitor delivered by Walsh Western using BusinessPost (FEDEX???).
