My 2.33/160 15" precious has arrived after an agonizing journey halfway around the world. I did have to let it thaw out for a half hour or so before switching it on - it is a brutally cold day here in the northland.
After much praying, it is dead pixel-free. The glossy screen is beautiful. Fit and finish seems spot-on.
For all the other one three niners out there, don't worry too much about the estimated FedEx ship date - mine still indicated tomorrow up until delivery.
Right now I'm migrating from my iMac with a couple of hours left. I'll post more info once I actually get to use it...
Good luck all, may your 'books arrive safe and sound, and thanks for the "support group."

so buy looking at other peoples time lines r MBP should be making AK by about 2:30 today.... and hopefully indy by tommorrow am... then the short 50 min drive to my front door tommorrow... think i am just hopeful?
Thanks, it seems to be a bit more friendly too. Looks like mine will be tomorrow morning. Right on time according to Apple. It just arrived in Memphis, TN.
Where are you from? You should update your info in control panel so we know... 2:30 to you may be different than my 2:30.
I hope it gets to indy TODAY - we dont want them kicking it in Alaska too long.. they'll freeze!

Have patience - you are trying to adopt to a new paradigm in computing - don't expect instant wonderfulness - it's there, but you have to swim a river first.
I suggest you re-post your issues in the Help discussion, it'll get better attention there and won't be run over by the rabid enthusiasm (tunnel vision?) in this thread.
One thing though, if the disk is unreadable, your machine should indeed 'burp' it out like a bad pancake, I wonder why it didn't - you got thick labels on it?
As for the tunnel vision - MINE's ON THE TRUCK! Fedex still shows a delivery time of tomorrow though - they're wierd.
china to Ak to IN.... thats quite the trip in a day...it better not be jet lagged when it gets here....
seriously though this waiting sucks ... and my current laptop is on life support.. i hope it makes it through the night....
well, the good news is that once it left china, it was VERY fast.
I now have my computer and spare battery. Both Arrived at 9:27 AM pst at my home by a smiling fedex man.
I will post my transit information, it may help others waiting.

If you look, it made a trip from AK - to IN to CA and delivered in just one day. two days from china. pretty good job fedex does. it was two days early from the estimate provided by apple, and one day early from the fedex estimate.

That's identical to what I get at isnoop.com. Right down to the minuet.
Right until "11/01/06 04:25 am Left Fedex Sort Facility Indianapolis, IN"
Instead I have "11/01/06 04:12 am Held At Sort Facility Indianapolis, IN"
So yeah.
My MBP is being held hostage or something.
Better go bust it out.
*cocks shotgun*
Are the times listed on iSnoop the local times where the shipment currently is?
For example:
10/31/06 11:50 am Arrived At Sort Facility Anchorage, AK
is that 11:50 AM Anchorage time?
Does anyone know?

Yes - we have similar leave times yet our delivery times are local. My delivery time is correct for LA. My leave time is same as yours so whole list is not localized to delivery zone. I'd say yes, all local.
Yes. That's why Shanghai showed future time relative to where I am. They had a night time listing yesterday when it was morning for me.
anyone in C-U?
Anyone at UIUC gotten theirs yet (esp. purchased through campus stores)?
I ordered a 15" 2.33 GHz 160 GB and stores still says Nov 2 ship date. Hoping for a surprise!
Ordered 10-25!

Yup! Mine must have been sitting a little more toward the door - mine was scanned in at 11:07.
OK - lets get these MBPs moving toward Indianapolis ASAP!
think we can get delievery tommorrow...even though its showing the 3rd?.....i hope so!!!
That's a tough call - - it all depends on how fast it gets to Indianapolis.
I checked my FedEx tracking, and our MBPs must be right next to each other - I have the 10:46 arrival and the 11:22 International Shipment Release.
You're freakin' set! You are only 51 miles from Indianapolis.... you may get yours tomorrow dude!
I, however, am 451 miles from Indianapolis... so Thursday looks fairly out of the question....
Well guys, its been nice being part of flight 139 but I got mine a day early and will be spending the rest of the day setting it up. It is a BEAUTIFUL machine, very light and did I mention beautiful? Here's the last FedEx details:
Nov 1, 2006 8:49 AM Delivered DAVIS, CA
8:01 AM On FedEx vehicle for delivery SACRAMENTO,
Good luck to the rest of you.

Janus is sitting right next to me transferring oodles of gigs - a day early.
I guess Tuesday/Wednesday is the day for Flight 139.

Mine's been on the vehicle for delivery sine 8:44am PST and isnt here yet! I actually called FedEx this morning, because the accessories were showing as on the truck, but not the MBP... the reo said they had a plane arrive late and that if it didnt show as on the truck in an hour and a half to call back, it did!

This advice totally goes against how Macs are supposed to (and do) work. One thing people generally love about OS X is that you CAN burn a DVD in the background while surfing the web, listening to iTunes, and chatting via your favorite IM app... all without a hiccup.
It sounds like kstotlani's problem was with reading a Windows DVD or maybe a corrupted file... not with his Mac being able to multi-task.
Macs usually can burn a DVD and do something else at the same time.
But kstotlani's seemed to be having some problems, and burning DVDs is sometimes a tricky task for the Finder.
