East edge of Phoenix urban sprawl
'Tis 10:30PM Saturday night in Phoenix, Arizona. I went by two of the local Apple stores today and both had a few Macbook Air Superdrives for sale and a couple of the 45 watt MBA power bricks. In both stores, there were two MBA 1.6 HDD units and one MBA 1.8 SDD unit on the demo table. Neither store's employees were sure when they would have MBAs of any configuration in stock. I took advantage of one store's stock and purchased a MBA Superdrive. When I got home, I cancelled that item on my open order (which still had a 22 Feb ship date). Going to the FedEx website a few minutes ago, I saw my unit (1.8 SSD iWork) was now in the tender clutches of our favorite original overnight delivery service. It appears the unit was picked up around 6:10PM China time on 2 Feb, which was after the FedEx cutoff time. That seems to be the normal procedure over there as that is the pattern I have seen on multiple custom built laptops and and a custom built iMac. :confused:

Tomorrow morning I should expect to see that the shipment progressed to Anchorage, AK and will be possibly enroute to Indianapolis to clear customs. I might even have a finite delivery date as well. :D

I thought from my hands on experience of the speed of the 1.8 SSD that it was on a par or quicker than my 17" MPPro @ 2.33Ghz, 3 Gb of ram and a 5400 rpm drive. Of course all one could do was load programs and webpages. The OS and support files left about 37.5Gb of free space on the SSD. That is enough room for a stripped down Vmware Fusion WinXP system for a couple of Garmin mapping programs and iWork. 08 which I have elected to be my office suite due to the bloated nature of Redmond's products. The SSD unit will ride well in a motorcycle on cross country trips and the USB Verizon wireless will provide country wide connections where Wi-Fi or ethernet is missing. I am looking forward to this addition to my laptop inventory. :apple:

O gosh darn

I ordered mine that thursday after the keynote and am still in the "not yet shipped" phase. I feel gypped. Apple says my order is "custom configured," which is bogus because its the 1.6/80. I did order the apple remote with it, but that is kind of a crap reason for it to take so long. Congrats all of you who have MBA's en route.

I'm still stuck in Indy. I thought by this morning I'd see some movement. My time stamps are identical to m1chelangelo. I'm outside of Asheville, NC. Any reason to think it might be moving by truck and that we'll get it on Monday? Is anyone else's MBA moving over the weekend? :confused:

I would call Apple and make sure everything is okay with the order. My got delayed for two days (which I was unaware of) until yesterday because an idiot at Apple tried to place an overnight shipping charge (which he said was free) to a gift-card I had on the order (which caused it to go over by $2 and prevent the payment from going through since the gift-card as a limit obviously).

Mine (1.8GHz, SSD) is currently on a FDX plane from Anchorage to Memphis. Suspect this would put me on target for a Tuesday delivery, which would be one day before the original "ship by" date that Apple provided me.

Not stuck in Indy for me, stuck in Anchorage. Which makes sense, since I'm in Anchorage. But I've been stuck on International Release since Friday morning. I went down to try to pick it up and the guy there told me it's in customs, behind a locked gate and they have no access to it.

Perhaps Apple requested they stay locked up at customs for safety until just before they're due for delivery? Which sucks. If not for that and their "no pickup" stipulation, I could've had my new MBA to use all weekend. Instead, it'll just sit at FedEx for 2-3 days.

Not stuck in Indy anymore

I spoke to FedEx yesterday and they told me once it hits the hub on the weekend it doesn't move till they get closer to the business week. I asked if I could go to Indy and pick it up and she said no? Mine left at 12:34 AM today and is in route to South Bend but still does me no good as it will show up at my office tomorrow morning and I'm on a plane and don't get back until Saturday night late! Oh well, I guess I could have waited to order mine but at least its here!

Fact of the Day

Interesting fact:

Shipment Weight: 7.27lbs or 3.3kgs
Macbook Air weight: 3.0lbs or 1.36kgs

The packaging weighs more than the Air. Okay back to regular programming.:)

Sad/happy to say mine was prepared and I only ordered at 10PM on the 16th (1.8/SSD)...It appears that they aren't following the order orders were received in...I can't complain, but in all fairness yours should have shipped out first (I'm from Montreal)

appears the unit was picked up around 6:10PM China time on 2 Feb, which was after the FedEx cutoff time.

Same here mine was picked up at 6:18...damn that cutoff. The worst is it hasn't moved since...and that was 28 hours ago!!!
