I guess ordering BTO was a bad idea

Hopefully mine will ship soon. I'm also in Gainesville and I'd like to at least be second

Same for me here, illian.

What about ordering the Superdrive with the MBA, do you think that will substantially increase my wait? If it would, I would call the Apple Store and tell them to cancel the Superdrive...

 

[SteveSparks]

Hey I am in Ocala, and I ordered before you lol

I would like to be wrong, but if they were shipping there would be a lot more posts about order status change.

I believe that:

1. The OS Update needs to be finished. I doubt they are updating the systems but it needs to be released before they send out the new laptop.
2. That they wanted the "release" to be tomorrow and it still might happen but depends on #1.
3. That the systems will hit stores at the same time day 1 people see shipped.
4. There is a small possibility that due to demand they could delay 5 days to let the manufacturing lines produce and Q/A additional systems to meet demand.
5. We (including me) all suffer from a compulsive disorder and need therapy and a sedative.

Thanks.. Mean while things I am doing while checking the order status page:

1. Read a book that you have read before so when you loose your place by thinking about your MBA you can start in any spot.
2. Paint the bedroom a shade of a aluminum so you can pretend you are inside your new MBA
3. Get a new pet Gold Fish and name him "MacBook Air" so you can use MBA in everyday conversation more often.
4. Clean up room where you will be unboxing your MBA by installing an air/dust filter so it will be protected wen it arrive.
5. Shop for bluetooth enabled items to use for the MBA, such as a mouse and speakers. Then return them telling the sales person you where not sure they will work, and then purchase them again
6. Talk to co-workers about how the MBA is today the thinnest computer in the world but you are prepared for the day when that changes, its just you really like Mac's and its going to cool to have that 3rd laptop to carry around.
7. Clean out a closet so you have a place to safely store the MBA box and keep it safe. You could optionally install an air filter in the closet to make the box more comfortable.
8. Practice answering the door, just in case you are home when the MBA arrives. Make sure you have good manners so they delivery guy won't change his mind and "come back tomorrow". This is good idea to role-play with the kids or wife/girlfriend.
9. Spend time moving all your files to a backup disk and then pic what you need to put on the MBA and put in a "Ready to move" directory. Think about color coding the files.
10. Drink more coffee and cola so you can stay awake longer just in case your order status changes so you won't miss that event.

Love it! Thx for the useful list..

 

[diabolic]

But it's listed as CTO. Is that the case for all 1.8/SSDs?

Mine shows CTO, but instead of just choosing the high end model, I added the 1.8 and SSD options manually to the 1.6/80GB.

I'm not trying to call anyone a liar, but shouldn't it take more than 2 days for a laptop to go from China to Florida? China to Florida is like a 20+ hour flight, isn't it? Factor in stopping for customs and changing FedEx vehicles, I find it very unlikely this person is getting their MacBook Air on Friday. I hope I'm wrong though.

I'm also putting my money on the fact that SuperDrives and USB ethernet/modems will ship the same time as the laptop.

Guys, I can confirm that "roberts7470" is making a bulls**t claim. The tracking is real alright, but the package is 0.4kg, NOT 4.0kg.

I've confirmed this independently straight from FedEx. For whoever still cares (and for "roberts7470" to know that the jig is really up), this is the current shipping info:

It's probably the MS Office that's on its way.

 

[diabolic]

If they had really started shipping, you'd see more than 1 or 2 people posting about it.

 

[xUKHCx]

The tracking is real alright, but the package is 0.4kg, NOT 4.0kg.

Well you may want to check your facts first as the MBA itself weighs 1.36 kg. So add to that product packaging, charger, other studd, plus shipping packaging 4 kg is perfectly reasonable, where as 0.4 kg (the weight of half a loaf of bread/ or 3.5 lighter then the actual product) is not.

From China?

what the heck are you talking about? FEDEX is reporting a package weight of 0.4kg. they are delivering a 0.4kg package. It is of course NOT an mba.

From China?

who knows what it is? The only thing certain is that it is not an mba.

 

[PieMac]

Just curious, but how would you have the information to check directly with FedEx? The tracking info was wiped out on the screen shot...also, it doesn't make sense that they would be shipping software from China. Too, the Apple order status clearly states the the MBA was shipped on the 23rd.

 

[diabolic]

Tracking based on what's in the image, there are more items that shipped at the exact same time from the exact same place: 9:16 AM from SHENZHEN CN. They all have package weights of 0.4 kgs. Oddly enough, they are being delivered early, today in fact. I'd guess that the weight was changed in the image.

a.) the only information I have seen is that it is showing as 4.0 kg, I don't know where you are getting your information from

b.) My computers have shipped from China before so why can't the MBA.

 

[DocSmitty]

Interesting also that you had to violate the FedEx terms of use to "verify" that information. Only the shipper and the intended recipient of the package are to have access to tracking information.

My 24" iMac shipped directly from China this past October and was here in 3 days and I live in GA.

Unfortunately, I just mis-typed my own personal tracking numbers and something else came up.

Does anyone honestly think we'd only see one or two people confirming shipment if they really started shipping them?

Perhaps Apple screwed up and let a few slip out the door early...I mean, they did mess up with changing a lot of people's orders to "prepared for shipment". Maybe a few of these progressed to shipped...?

 

[eyemac74119]

yeah but i wish i was jon mayer or wharever that guy was that was posted here that already had a mba
