[QUOTE="davide_bruzzone, post: 207623"] I haven't ordered my 17" MBP yet (I'm being indecisive... See my 15.4" vs. 17" thread in this forum) but I've ordered enough new products from Apple to know that when I do, I'll make myself a cup of tea, pitch a tent and sit back in my lawn chair (as it were)... Things may have changed in the last 1 - 2 years but... My experience has always been that Apple is slow when it comes to fulfilling orders for new products. I'll be happy/impressed if I order mine, they tell me that it'll ship in 5 - 7 business days, and I receive it less than a month later (assuming that its in transit for, say, 3 - 4 days once it has been shipped). That's just based on my past experiences though... I may be wrong (Indeed, I hope for your sake that I am... I wouldn't want you to have any overexcitement-related incidents... :-)). As a related anecdote: I ordered my 12" PB when it first came out and was told something similar (i.e. 5 - 7 business days before it'll ship). I needed it quickly so I paid for expedited shipping... Then I waited for about a month... When I finally called Apple's order status line, I had a somewhat difficult time explaining to the representative that there was no point in me paying $50 for expedited shipping if the laptop didn't ship for a month... The representative's response was "I understand sir, but once it ships, you'll have it the next day"... To which my response was "Too little too late". I was finally able to convince them to take the expedited shipping charge off the order... :-) Cheers/best of luck... Dave [/QUOTE]
