Please forgive my ignorance, but what does the acronym BTO represent?

BTO = Build To Order

Truthfully, I've not seen any "BTO" designations on these rigs posted. These are all CTO's (Configured To Order) so the BTO designation is a misnomer. I'm not even sure there is such a thing, unless abbreviations vary depending on the country you reside in?

Good for you, however pretty messed up: we ordered the same config, I ordered it two hours before you, but you got a delivery estimate 4 days earlier! WTH Apple!?

If you ordered it 2 hours before me, that would have been at 12:05P Pacific time, right?

 

[Scottsdale]

Shipped will get it tomorrow.

Would you do some benchmarking tests like xBench when you get it? I really want to see the speed of the NAND Flash vs. SSDs.

Also, write up a review if you have time. I cannot wait for these numbers to come in, as I have high hopes for both of these MBAs.

 

[Radarflem]

Status changed to "prepared for shipment"

I ordered the maxed out 13.3 (4GB/256GB/2.13) shortly after the store re-opened on the 20th.

 

[sparkie1984]

special special sauce

from the man himself, as a sorry for having to return 4 imacs in 2 weeks, so he gave me a macpro and some special sauce to apologise


please note: no special sauce was actually supplied, i am merely talking utter bs

Great, thanks for the clarification!

 

[M87]

I ordered the exact same configuraition very early yesterday morning and it still has not prepared for shipment. My complimentary printer is already on its way though.

 

[NativeOSXboy]

I ordered mine around 11:00 CST, yesterday. Still saying it's not shipped, and it's giving me an estimate of 3 to 5 days before it does. It's like waiting for a mail-order child haha.

Ordered an 11.6" with just a ram upgrade.

 

[Adidas Addict]

C'mon already !!!!!!!

At least a change to prepared for shipment would be something
