Been trying to get onto the tracking page today, but it's down for some reason with this message:

Any ideas what's going on?


I second this, very annoying. Especially as today my parcels should be merging in transit and I get a proper tracking number :(.
 
I got my first Mac yesterday, but unboxed it today. 15", i7, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD. It's fabulous so far. Loving how much faster it is than my HP, but I'm still going to use that laptop for a while while I learn to switch. And I have tons of files I'll have to switch over to a bootcamp partition.

Anyone want to reccomend a shell or a sleeve for my new laptop? XD

The Contour Pocket Sleeve is great!! I have one my self.
 
I plan on buying a 15" this July. I picked July, cuz I should have enough money for everythin, plus school is over so I can recieve my package during the day.

For comments/suggestions. What are your needs?
 
For comments/suggestions. What are your needs?

Well for my monitor, I am looking for something around 21-25 inches.

Would like it to display in 1080p, and contain an HDMI port.

Price needs to be below $400.

I am currently looking at the HP 2509m, Samsung XL2370, and the AcerH223H

Besides that, I will be doing alot of video editing, mainly Gaming montages, commentaries, etc and I am developing a webstie using DreamWeaver.

Also on a side not, this thread shows it having 138 pages, but whenever I try to click the last page (138) it just keeps on going to the page before (137). why?
 
Finally made the jump and ordered the 15" MBP - i7 Model.

Shipped yesterday with an Estimated delivery date of Wed 19th but it arrived this afternoon in my city so hoping Fedex with their track record of early deliveries has a surprise for me on Monday
 
I didnt get the tracking number, did you?

Nooo, was checking the thread to ask the same thing!

Maybe it's because it's Sunday. Finger's crossed tomorrow will be more informative. It's not like me checking the page every few hours will make it turn up any quicker...
 
My MBP is stuck in TN with a Clearance Delay. Anyone run I to this before when ordering from Apple? How long will my MBP be delayed? Do I need to do anything, like call FedEx? I hope it is cleared up quickly. I was all excited for my update but I get Clearance Delay in big red letters on the tracking page :(

Not international order is it? Clearance Delay is usually reserved for international delivery issues.

fedex says

Select the Clearance Delay or Delivery Attempt link in the Status field, or the Shipment Detail screen. The Clearance Delay or Delivery Attempt screen will list the reason(s) for the delay and recommend actions to help expedite delivery.
 
Current Delivery Status

Preparing handover to final carrier

14 May 2010

Whats this mean?

I've got the same. Tomorrow will give more info I'm guessing, but I'd say it's probably being passed to the delivery service in your country. FedEx or something.

I don't know what's going on. It is Shipping to the US ordered through Apple as a replacement to a defective MBP. Stuck in Memphis with the clearance delay. No links that I can see. Will call tomorrow if the status doesn't change.
 
i'm impressed. just got a new 15" i7 mbp as an upgrade to our late 2006 c2d mbp. handbrake rips went from 3-5 hours (if it actually finished) to 35 minutes! i'm loving it. too bad it's my wife's and i get to keep the old one.
 
Picked up a 15" i5 2.4GHz stock edition on May 10th and couldn't be happier...I have owned several Mac's including top of the line PowerBook G4's (LOVED my 1.25GHz Firewire 800 model), and a 2007 C2D SR MacBook...This MBP is BY FAR the finest portable I have ever owned...Just a stunningly beautiful piece of tech-art and incredibly good at what it was designed to do...Rock solid build quality, blazing fast Core i5 processor, gorgeous Samsung glossy display (I actually prefer the glossy screen's eye-popping color and deep, solid blacks)...I am in Tech Heaven...:D
 
Got my 15in Macbook Pro i7 2.66GHz stock with AppleCare 2 days ago... I'm loving it. Big upgrade from my Black 2.4 Macbook imo.

I love Apple :D

My carrier hand over day just changed from the 15th to the 17th (which is today) so hopefully the status should update shortly. AlsoI hope this new ash cloud doesn't affect the delivery!!

Yeah, same for me. Wonder if our laptops are sitting next to each other somewhere :D.
