Why can't I order the Mac Mini from Amazon with the 2.6 GHz processor upgrade? Please make this option available ASAP

Christopher has the right idea. Check with Apple Jeffery. Options like the i7 2.6GHz processor and the Fusion Drive are BTO(Build to Order) options. You can get them directly from Apple online or at any Apple store. I went through the same thing with Best Buy until I realized what BTO meant. There is a short wait while they build your machine. It is actually kind of cool if you think about it, this way your Mac is assembled especially for you.

This is an option, Amazon (usually) doesn't let you outfit options as they only carry one type of stock.

I talked to a local PC enthusiast shop who in-turn contacted their supplier and they said they could get it on 7/23/09 so... thats when im hoping amazon will get it...

No kidding.. I'm about to cancel and order at Newegg too. J&R; has it, Newegg has it, Amazon apparently doesn't. I even called and they're like, "Yeah, I don't know why we're not shipping it". Come on Amazon.. Get with it!

Actually, up until a couple of days ago on Apples iMac 20" Customize your Mac page, it said in the learn more link under RAM to 'choose the 1x1GB stick if you plan on upgrading later' or something like that. I emailed them... in a hopeless attempt to get them to actually add the option but all they did was removed that part in the learn more section :(

Did you try watching movies from your mac? Are you happy with the viewing experience? Any kind of jittering... etc? I am just worried about the video card on the mini, it is the intel on board 9400 I guess. iMac comes with 256M/512M NVIDEA/ATI cards. What other features do you rate the most?

According to amd.com Amazon is a retailer that offers the bundle. I tried to ask customer service but got an answer that made little sense. I went with a competitor and received the bundle as promised. Plus, Newegg had it for $50 less.

6th ave is all sold out, I ordered it from amazon for $499.00 but the whole 1-2 months thing is starting to piss me off. I will most likely upgrade to the next model up and purchase it from another seller besides amazon. Got the link from my son that said ships within 24-48 hours, but with the holidays and all I didn't order until four days later, Oh well I know it my fault but still rather irritating.

I ordered my white Macbook (2.0 GHz, Superdrive) today(June 1st). My estimated ship date is June 7th. Thats better than I had hoped.

I ordered a 32gb on the 16th also. The listing said they were arriving on the 17th. Since I'm a prime customer I expected it by the end of the week. I received an email on the 20th telling me that there was a delay and I had until 10/20/08 to cancel because the estimated ship date was NOV. 8. Funny, the listing still says 'ships in 8 to 9 days'. I went with Amazon for the no tax, free two day shipping. Now, I'll just go to Apple and pay the tax. I've been an Amazon customer since they were shipping out of a garage. This is the first time this has happened.

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

I suppose Amazon is offering it:Apple MacBook Pro Z0J62LL/A 15.4" Laptop (OLD VERSION)

But the description lists 2 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, and ATI X2600. All of those specs correspond to the current Mac Pro, not the previous version. The customer service guy I talked to claimed that the 1.33 Ghz FSB was a misprint (but they haven't corrected it yet). I'm really confused as to what this thing is.

I have seen it go from pre-order and 1-3 weeks twice to in stock where you could get it delivered next day. I think they are saying 1-3 weeks to be safe as Apple hasn't given them a definite time they will get additional stock. I'd go ahead and order from Amazon as they are by far the least expensive with the rebate and no tax. Also, its easy to return if you buy from Amazon and maybe not so easy from affiliate. I bet it ships within a week if you order now. The other alternative is to come back and check each day to see if it is in stock...it was in stock last weekend for the whole weekend.

@Christopher. I asked one of the many eBay vendors offering this item with the March 11 ship date if he was going to be able to fulfill the March 11th date he claimed. He said yes but that he was way oversold on the item and that Asus was way under-prepared to fulfill the demand. Because of that I went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon hoping that I would be able to get one. Nothing on Newegg either.Please let us know if you get your order fulfilled. Good luck.Cort

Yep, amazon only carries the generic versions. Dont think Bestbuy will do it either, I tried and they only carry the generic ones too. If you want 16gigs of ram you will have to order it from Apple.

8 and right after I plugged it in 8.1 became available but i couldn't figure out how to upgrade! Think it was suppost to be free but I wasn't able to do so. It's been in the box for the last 3 months, haven't had time to plug it back in. I got it for the XP thing ending. Liked it though, but my Mac mini fits better on the shelf !

I'm not complaining, I already have Leopard installed on my iBook and I really like it. I want to receive the iMac with Leopard installed so I can start working from the get-go. I just assume because Amazon is out of stock now that they are waiting for Apple to ship them iMacs with Leopard installed already.
