List of Members Waiting for their Macbook Air to Ship and Arrive and Photos!

[DVNIEL]

Why don't all of you impatient people just pipe down and get back to work?

If seriously stripping apart a jpeg, and calling FedEX to confirm someone else's package, is the most important of your day, then you need to seriously get a life.

Stop whistle blowing and just be patient, damn.

Question to those of you who ordered the 1.8 and SSD:

Does your Air show up as a CTO order?

I stupidly one-click ordered one with iWork pre-installed. Then realized that the less customization the better (in terms of getting it faster), and so I deleted that item and then put one-clicked another which was just a 1.8/SSD with default options.

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

Yes, mine shows the order as CTO. My config:

1.80GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/2GB
64GB Solid State Drive
No iWork Preinstalled
No Final Cut Exp Preinstalled
No Aperture Preinstalled
No Logic Exp Preinstalled
Keyboard/Mac OS
Country Kit

Okay, now that's interesting. Maybe now it will come with 10.5.2?

 

[mashoutposse]

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.

I've read over my posts and the language is quite clear. What is it exactly that you don't understand about the following simple fact:

-FedEx reports that the package that they accepted from Apple weighs only 0.4kg.

...?

Let me make it yet more clear: 'roberts' doctored his screenshots.

I want the MBAs to start shipping as much as anyone, but "roberts" lied. Fullstop.

What proof are you offering to backup this claim.

Get over it and move on. LOL

 

[malone]

Ditto. I ordered the high-end model (1.8/SSD): in the email confirmation, it doesn't show as a CTO, but in the web order confirmation, it shows as CTO.

Yes, mine shows the order as CTO. My config:

1.80GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/2GB
64GB Solid State Drive

No Final Cut Exp Preinstalled
No Aperture Preinstalled
No Logic Exp Preinstalled

On the fence

I'm tempted to order an MBA but wonder about a couple of things. Given the somewhat unique processor used I have to wonder what we might see in future versions of the MBA - minor speed bumps or ??? It also seems obvious that prices for SSD drives will drop substantially with increased adoption, or at least that capacities will grow. What do y'all see for the MBA down the road ?

 

[mashoutposse]

What proof are you offering to backup this claim.

If roberts allows, I can forward you the actual tracking number and you can run it independently.

The point (the ONLY point) is that MBAs have not begun to ship yet. Otherwise, I couldn't care less about roberts and his order.

I'm getting a macbook air to! Heres my future set up:

Macbook Air
Time Capsule (with printer plugged in for wireless printing)
External super drive sitting on top of Time Capsule
Usb hub for desktop use
And some external speakers

The only problem is the external speakers have a mass of wires. Anyone have a solution for this? Maybe some wireless speakers? Those would be sweet.

I think you are going to find that the external superdrive needs to be connected directly to the MBA.

 

[Cybergypsy]

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.

I am a hour away from him and every one of the many i had this year took 5 days from china

I already know that, I'm saying it's just gonna sit on top of the time capsule until I need it.

Same goes for me. I just don't like people posting BS and getting everyone excited when it's not true. Sorry if it's a buzzkill for those who are already excited seeing a shipping confirmation.

It took very little effort to check it out. Definitely not the most important thing in my day though.

Keep in mind that China (Shenzen county) is a full day ahead of the US, and that FedEx package pick-up time is based on Local (China) time.

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

When I called Apple to change which credit card I was using to pay for the MBA, I asked about the shipping and was told it would be shipping from an overseas facility. My shipping date is Feb 6 with delivery date of Feb 11th. I paid the extra for faster shipping so wanted to know why its 5 days to deliver, their answer was it is 2 to 3 business days for delivery. Dang weekend. Geez never thought I would say that!

 

[prashy21]

I am seeing same on my order Feb6 ship and delivery by Feb 12
also the airline adaptor to be shipped on Feb 21.

why wud airline adaptor be that late ?

 

[HLdan]

Yes, mine shows the order as CTO. My config:

Ahhh, nice set up I'm jealous. That's the one I want to order. Time Capsule was all I could buy for now.

 

[HLdan]

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.

What does the new OS update have to do with the MBA?

 

[ryuenten]

minimum for Remote DISK to work is 10.5.2.

 

[NYCMacFan]

Keep in mind that China (Shenzen county) is a full day ahead of the US, and that FedEx package pick-up time is based on Local (China) time.

It will likely go Shenzhen (next to Hong Kong) to Anchorage (precleared for customs there) and then directly on to florida or I guess via Memphis. That was the way my past Apple orders have worked.

 

[bjdraw]

I believe that just about everyone's ship date will change. Based on what I've seen here and my own order, the ship date is 3 weeks after the order date. This syncs with the promise of 2 to 3 weeks.

While I don't believe anyone's has shipped yet, I do believe it is imminent. All the big sites released their reviews yesterday and based on Apple's previously releases, the product hits store shelves within a few days.

The reason why all the reviews come out the same day is because they are embargoed. Apple sends them the equipment early with their commitment that they won't publish until Apple says they can. Apple wants the reviews to be out just before the product as part of their grand marketing plan.

I'd be surprised if they didn't ship by Sunday (or Tuesday at the latest as that is 2 weeks). I'd also be surprised if every order wasn't shipped the same day despite what your ship date states, because if they'd already sold out, the Apple Store wouldn't still say 2-3 weeks.

My MP shipped from China on a Monday night their time and I was surprised to see it here in Virginia at 10am Tues morning our time.

 

[aiongiant]

only takes like 12-14 hours to fly from china to here i think so i'm not surprise

it would suck if it was on a boat LOL
