Good question, do I need to keep refreshing the store page or will it come up when it's ready?

You will need to reload the page every once in a bit. It won't auto reload for ya.

Have you guys ever opened a new new credit card before? The deal is 0% interest for at least 12 months. Meaning if you pay off the full amount within that time, then you don't pay a dime to the credit card company. If it was a rewards card, then you'd even reap some pocket money as profit.

I have done this before yes. Probably the best deal I have seen is the City Simplicity. If you apply and get the card it is 0% for 18months. Far better than the Barclay card Apple uses. I tend to use this sort of financing about every other year through my BestBuy card on some new thing or another. BestBuy usually does 18 months 0% for anything over a certain dollar ammount.

So yea, then you know how the game is played with these credit card companies. Just make good minimum payments until it's fully paid before the end of your introductory time period, and the consumer wins. Otherwise, get ready for some interest charges.

By the way, Apple store now up and Mac Pro now available!

Im not disagreeing at all. I was just making the point that even if you HAD to pay interest it might still be of some value to finance it if you could EARN more by having the computer. Anyway, hopefully no one uses the Barcaly card. Although I imagine you can have a very low credit score and still qualify for it.

Also, the stare was up for me for a second and then it went down again......

It was up for a minute and had pricing errors. It didn't add to the price when you increased SSD. Then the store went down again.

Don't see that here...boo

You think they would have spent that hour the store was down doing this kind of QA?!

Ah, got it. I used to have that Barclay card too. Really wasn't impressed with it after I was done using it for my Apple expense at the time.

Well, it was up for a second, because I configured what I wanted, but as soon as I added it to my cart, it returned to the "we'll be back" banner page. FWIW, MacRumors' prices were spot-on, and CTO configs ship "in January."

Same thing happened to me. Lame out the delivery time, although not suprising.

 

[cinealta]

It's pricing properly now and increasing price with upgrades.

If people are buying stock model. There might be good chance to get one at an Apple store Thursday., just like when the iPad mini was available. BTO orders are January.

 

[motegi]

It's up for USA, not Australia though... :|

 

[Javik]

Australian Store is still down

 

[VirtualRain]

No Canada store yet either!

 

[m1neral]

Purchased from US Store:

6 Core / 32GB / 1TB SSD / D700s

Anything beyond the two stock configs show "Ships in January". Choosing to pickup at a local store shows, "Available Feb 5/6".

Now we wait again.

Back to sleep.

 

[kfscoll]

Woot, managed to complete the checkout process (6-core, 16GB RAM, 512GB flash, D700)...$4500+tax w/ military EPP.

 

[atopos]

No new Mac Mini.
No new Apple Display.
No new Mous or Keyboard.

 

[VirtualRain]

Canadian store up... I got my order in... the D500s were only a few hun more, so went for the base 6-Core with 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM. Awesome!

 

[motegi]

Well that was easy!

32GB
512GB

[Spinland]

Started with the stock 6, bumped RAM up to 32GB and storage up to 512GB. Kept the D500s. Came in at $4329 + tax with my retired military EPP discount. As everyone else has reported, shipping in January.

 

[Einz]

Ordered the stock 6-core, delivers by Jan 6. Hope it will be here sooner.

Unfortunately, no. I got a stock model and the expected delivery is 6 January. I also stopped by my local store on the way home last night and they said nothing in stock for tomorrow.
