Have the same config as yours except i took the 1.4ghz option. still debating. care to share your thoughts on the processor upgrade?

I ordered the "low end" 13 inch. primarily due to the processor speed. The bottleneck is going to be the processor in a lot of cases on these. The harddrives are super fast and the processor is going to have plenty of data to do crap with.

I would've went with the 11 inch if it wasn't for the slower processors. That said, it depends on what you are doing. Mine will be used mostly for writing, homework and mobile stuff that requires a keyboard (Sorry iPad, your touch screen keyboard is fail for anything more than twitter)

I would at the very minimum recommend upgrading to 4gigs of ram. You can't swap ram out after the fact. What it has is what it has. So get the max. It's only $100 more.

Oh. And mine is a BTO with 4gigs of ram. Prepared for Shipment. Ordered around 5:00pm EST on wednesday.

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

Upadate:

Mine is now showing "Prepared for Shipment."

Ordered on 10/20, 2:10pm, 11" 64GB BTO 4GB RAM.

 

[robeddie]

Delivered! and loving it

Got my 1.4ghz, 2gb, 11.6inch, 128gigHD Macbook Air yesterday (October 21st - I had it sent overnight for $20)

First off, while I am quite disappointed by the lack of backlit keyboard, I couldn't resist the size... and it's truely a game changer.

The screen is detailed and gorgeous, it feels incredibly fast (thanks to the flash drive) and the size and feel of it is intoxicating.

Yes... I'm in love

 

[denishot]

yours isn't BTO

 

[Dr.Seuss]

Ordered mine probably 5 mins after keynote and the site went live. 11" 64GB 4GB RAM, iWork preinstalled. Hasn't budged yet. Hopefully it will update sometime today.

 

[lily69]

Ordered within 15 minutes of store reopen, 2.13/256/4, now says "prepared for shipment",

Well, but I guess it's Saturday in China? Is it shipped from China like everything from Apple?

 

[macbook123]

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

Actually, 11:53 AM PDT.

Still says "prepared for shipment". I wonder if this is in China and the work day there is over so it won't actually ship before Monday. That would explain why the delivery estimate time window starts only Tuesday Oct 26, not Mon Oct 25.

It's a BTO 13.3" with only a RAM upgrade and a USB Ethernet Adapter.

 

[re2st]

Mine's "Prepared for shipment" as well.

Maxed out 13.3", ordered Oct 20, 2010 at 12:10 PM PDT.

 

[macbook123]

Shipped from Shanghai! Estimated arrival Oct 27 by 10:30 AM.

I guess this means it'll sit at Fedex in China until Monday, then go to Alaska where it'll sit until Tuesday in customs, then be delivered on Wed. I wish the 2-3 day shipping I ordered would include weekend days. My feeling is the shipping upgrade was a waste of money, it seems non-upgrades ship just as fast.

 

[Picho]

Mine just shipped for delivery on 10/25!

Left Shangai at 8:25 AM local time by FedEx, currently in transit to AK.

Mine just shipped for delivery on 10/25!

Left Shangai at 8:25 AM local time by FedEx, currently in transit to AK.

Wow, what did you do to get such fast shipping? Mine shipped Oct 22, 2010 10:21 PM, i.e. before yours, but won't get here before Wed.

 

[Nautilus007]

damn

i got my printer lol, i customeized a 13 inch and its not even prepared. i think itll ship today.

 

[Young Turk]

Mine did too, base model 11.6 with BTO 4 gb of RAM, 64 gb SSD, ordered an hour after store went live following the event.

Update - mine just shipped from China by Fedex. Didn't pay extra for shipping. ETA October 28.

 

[Picho]

Wow, what did you do to get such fast shipping? Mine shipped Oct 22, 2010 10:21 PM, i.e. before yours, but won't get here before Wed.

It actually shipped on Oct 22, 2010 8:25AM Shanghai time, i.e. before yours, so it will get today to AK and clear customs there and get to me on MON. Your package was probably received after the FedEx cutoff time and didn't make it on today's flight.

I went with free shipping, so I'm glad I didn't waste $13 buck on extra shipping.
