Pretty Amazing really. Makes me think of two things - a) the demand for these things is unprecedented (online pre-orders, or demand in the USA) or b), Apple screwed up.
11?!
Apple wants to increase market share around the world and it can ship at launch a grand total of 11 laptops to a shop in London. With all due respect to the other retail stores and resellers - if the flagship store in Europe gets 11...no breath held recommended.
Anyway, back to work.
Glasgow store update
ok, as of 9.50am, they claimed to have none in BUT they were expecting some in "at some point today"
not very useful, but there you have it...i'll drop by at lunch too.

Just come back from Regent street, the guys there told me they had about 20, but all hard drive 1.6. They don't know when they'll get the ssd ones... So I took a cab trip for nothing
Maybe tomorrow. tsk tsk tsk.
you took a cab in central london. are you insane?
I purchased one at Regent St, 10:30am. 15 of the 20 had gone. Only 1.6/80 in stock. They have ethernet dongles too.
Do you mean Apple Stores or Authorised Resellers? Apple Stores stock popular CTO machines - I bought my 24" 2.8GHz iMac from the Apple Store in Brent Cross.
On topic: I phoned up the Brent Cross store not long ago. They have some on display, but none to sell - stock expected "soon".
Work on chancery lane and live on pipcadilly circus, the cab took 10 minutes, I'd hae taken nearly twice that have i taken the tube... And seeing as I was assured on the phone the SSD was in stock and there wasa only a few left, I ran...
Of course I came back empty handed on the tube. Oh well.
We had some but they were pre-ordered (customers that had paid a deposit) we only had 5 units in.
Resellers, Apple Premium Reseller (eg KRCS, Western), Apple Stockist (eg PC World, John Lewis)
Oh. You already contacted everyone? Although i have a deposit with bristol they probably also only got a few.
Picked mine up from Western in Bristol at 12:56. Have been playing since!!
Everyone in the office loves it!

glasgow got some around 10.30 - all went. more soon (and supposedly in greater numbers).
they said you can call and leave your deets and they will call you when they have one, but no reservation. i'm sure that can be negotiated.
also said they'd be getting 1.6 hdd and 1.8 ssd. unlikely to have any before monday.
sorry i couldn't find out any more!

John Lewis (Cheadle), a major branch of the store in the North West has never even heard of the model, and there is no reference to it on JohnLewis.com either.
Very cutting edge!

That's because JL.com can't take pre-orders and they won't put a product live without stock to sell
I agree Sheffield allowed me to pre-order. Just phoned up to check status they say that they still don't have any units in. DAMM!
However he did say days not weeks....
Still I won't be entirely convinced until I hold it in my hands!!
ps didn't leave a deposit they did it via the 'runner system'??? Don't know what that means exactly but it looked like they were ordering one up from the backroom - but obviously they don't have any so it will produce negative stock.
Info might help someone.
PS Sheffield store are very helpful.
