Congratulations! I am sure you will love it.

Regarding applications, it is difficult recommend something without knowing what you want to do with it. The software you get with your Mac covers broad range of things and the rest depends purely on your requirements. If you are interested in programming you should read this article.

You will receive it on Tuesday (3 days?) - Good luck - I ordered mine on July 19 and still have not received it yet. I did upgrade it, etc. but still I can't believe it is taking this long. It just left China yesterday and doesn't yet show if it's hit the US or not. I can't believe it takes this long - my only gripe about Apple - I've never ordered anything before that took this long, computers included. Oh well.....

Heh, you are not getting anything on Tuesday. The wait for your Macbook will drive you insane. A lot of us speak from experince :) My macbook took 11 days just to ship. And then 3 days to get from China to the United States.

all in all my macbook took 9 days to get to me (which is actually quite fast if you ask me). But anyway, congratulations on your purchase, of what I believe to be a truly *** spanking machine.

True, perhaps I was being overly negative. Your machine will be a great asset to you once it gets here. You will definitly love it. Its just the wait that makes you realize how impatient humans really are.

Well I ordered my iMac last Monday and it will be here on wednesday. It's made 120 miles away at the Apple Cork plant which is the HQ for all European operations. I ordered the Wireless mighty mouse and it came in 2 days!

Just remember good things come to those who wait!

Just think right now your MacBook is being lovingly put together by a Chinese lady working 15 hours a day for 15 cents a week! :black:

Globilization, you can't beat it!

haha it only took my macbook like 30 secs to come from the back of the apple store to my hands :p

with the drive to the mall to pick it up, everythign was said and done in 10 mins :p

sucks for you guys who dont have apple stores lol :p

and today I replaced it for another one because of the yellow stain problem (also a 'blue' stain on my clicky which the manager in the store agreed it wasnt a stain from my finger) so I got a berand new macbook again, so opening the box was awesome, it was like the last time I opened it, so exciting :p

I just ordered my Macbook!

hey all, i have also just ordered my Macbook (Fri 28th). This will be my first Mac! The estimated shipped date is Aug 2nd and the delivery date is the 11th. Do you think it will get here before that date? (I live in the UK if that makes a difference) Also on the apple order tracking all it says is "not shipped", does this change at all untill it ships? if this is the case i wont bother constantly tracking it.

Update, my Macbook has been shipped on the 31st (Today), day one of a possible 3 i was told! i couldnt be happier at the min! so if im lucky ill have it by the end of this week!

thanx,
Mike

I didn't get a Macbook, but I wanted one. But I ordered a Mac Mini Duo of eBay and it should be here today...well later today. It's 2-3 day shipping so I'm HOPEING it comes today. Ordering a Mac, whatever it is all of us feel the anticipation of waiting. Then the joy when the USPS guy walks to your door with it.

As for Taseal, I would have gone to the Apple store, but I payed $640 for a Mini Duo w/ Applecare. So, in reallity would you rather A.) go to a Apple store and pay $940 for a Duo with Applecare or get one of eBay from a legiut dealer for $640?

After they have shipped it, it's status will say "shipped" and it will provide you with a FedEx tracking number. Go to fedex.com and track it from there! Mine just got shipped today!

Yea mine's in Anchorage too, but it says I won't get mine till Thursday morning. I REALLY can't wait for this thing!

The fact that I work all day doesn't help either, I'd rather do nothing at home and surf the net about Mac stuff.
