how long will it take for apple to deliver a macbook now?

vigos

If I order one of the new macbooks should I get it before Christmas? Sorry I'm used to dealing with dell so not sure what apple are like for deliveries.

They say on the site delivery within 24hrs?

thanks,

zAbbo

Ships within 24hrs, delivery in 2-3 days

Depends pretty much if its standard config, or BTO.

True, I ordered a non-standard 15" pro here in the UK last week, my delivery date is between the 13th and 15th Dec.

No it will be standard configuration. I will update memory, hard disk myself later

Be aware that any change makes it a "custom" configuration - even adding a DisplayPort to DVI adapter... which is ridiculous really...

But what if you added it seperately to the shopping cart?

I ordered an imac and printer nov 25th and got it on the 28th.
Don't forget they are giving rebates if you buy a printer as well...

That may work - didn't try it. Adding it from the MacBook's configuration page will change it to a custom configuration...

Yeah...when I ordered my macbook a year ago it took around 2 weeks to come! Simply because I added the display adapter....have never even used the poxy little thing lol

They do seem to have changed things around a fair bit. ordered a new Touch in the sale, very late Friday. Got it engraved, but it was still shipped Monday from the UK and delivered today. I thought I would be waiting 2 weeks.

I ordered a MacBook on Friday (€101 off in the Black Friday promo ) with upgraded RAM, DVI adapter and remote, and the status page is saying that delivery is due by the 12th of December. They say it's shipped, but haven't provided the tracking code yet.

Then on Monday I ordered a laptop sleeve and an iPod cable (free shipping promo ) and it arrived today.

Some of their stock comes from the UK, but MacBooks and MacBook Pros ship from China, and meet up in the UK with anything else on your order, so it takes a bit longer.

I ordered a standard mac book and itouch on black Friday 28th. Got a phone call on Saturday 29th confirming my order. Was shipped yesterday 2nd and the estimated delivery is 4th or 5th

Just an update. Ordered my MacBook with extra RAM, USB keyboard, DVI adapter and remote on Friday 28th November and it arrived today

My girlfriend got a MBP the other week, and it's a stunning machine, but I just prefer the smaller size of the MB - I'll be using it with an external monitor 99% of the time anyway.

Got it delivered to work, and I had brought in my TimeMachine backup disk from my 12" PowerBook to get everything set up ASAP, but I forgot to bring the power brick for the hard disk, so that will have to wait until tonight

I'm guessing laptopsdirect.ie will take a little bit longer to deliver than Apple themselves.
Think it'll be worth the 140€ saving though

They don't seem to be selling the latest Alu MacBooks, though - just the last generation plastic ones (http://www.laptopsdirect.ie/Macbook/prod.asp).

You need to compare like with like before talking about savings

It's the new MBP I'm after, which they do have
