I'd put bets on the 160GB HDD being tough to get.
At any rate, Apple was obviously hedging their bets on delivery and it is a poor business practice, but with all the pressure to get these to market, I guess I can't totally blame them...
I agree, the Brenthaven bags are the nicest and offer terrific protection. I have the Brenthaven Pro17SC and really like it....
Let's just hope these MBPs get shipped before the Thanksgiving holiday (US anyway)...
Wouldn't explain the delay for the people who ordered the 100Gb or the 200Gb HD's though... My guess, and it is guessing, would be the LCD or the battery.
Thanks for the bag-recommendations, I'll have a look at some of the other threads concerning this too... The brenthavens look very nice, but so does the crumpler. I might just go for a second skin for it in the first place though.
