Its taking a little while for it to filter down to the Apple re-salers. They show in stock now here, but most of the other major places I've called say Nov 5-7 when they'll get them in.

Hi. Just fyi, I did order iLife '08 from Apple through the iLife Up-To-Date program mentioneded (Thank you A. Milne, I would not have known), but Apple's current expected ship date for the upgrade is 2-3 weeks. So, I will have my brand new Macbook Pro with iLife '06 for a few more weeks... Other than that and a problem with the power block, which the local Apple store quickly exchanged, the computer is great.

@MJ, thanks--I had preordered a couple days ago, but now says not yet shipped. Wonder what's going on?

Well, yay, I got my Amazon order shipped, too. Bless 'em. I mean Apple HAS to beat them to the punch. But having one to gift with is very nice indeed.

I would guess it would be similar to pre-ordering dvds, books, etc. In my experience, they tend to ship out the same day of the official release... so when you get it would depend on how you had it shipped (a day or so after). If you must have it immediately... pick up a copy at an apple store the morning of the 26th.

NO... not going to happen. Macbook Air is the focus of the new releases. MBP updates will be 2 months to 4 months away

anybody receive a shipping notification yet ? apparently some who pre-ordered from the apple store early on have gotten theirs already.

if you can't wait without having the computer i would definitely wait....who knows what Macworld is going to bring us. I have been waiting since August to buy a MBP or MB (first, it was leopard and now i have been fine living without one so I might as well see what's new.)

I placed mine on May 8th, but haven't seen mine ship yet. Could anyone whose MacBook Pro 17" has shipped please let us know when you ordered it?

I've noticed lately that Amazon has been giving very conservative estimates on its shipment/arrival dates. My items have always arrived well before Amazon's "estimated" arrival dates. I think this is a game they play with us so that we're happy when our packages arrive "early." The real question is whether or not Amazon actually has these in stock. Is Apple holding them back from everybody until Wednesday? Or are they just asking their sellers to not put them in customers' hands until Wednesday?

I would think that the next iMac shipment from Apple to all of it's re-sellers would include Leopard installed since they are available that way now at the Apple Store (and have been so awhile I believe). I've got a 24 incher on order too and am more concerned about that $100 rebate from Amazon which apparently expires next Monday 12/3. Amazon says it may be 3-5 weeks until this this model ships. I'm hoping they will show up a little early...like this week, before this rebate expires. Otherwise I may cancel and wait until after the first of the year to re-order.

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.

I think mine says like April or something. But that's what my MacBook Air said too when I ordered it over the weekend, and it shipped yesterday. So who knows when this thing will ship.

Good question. I switched from my Newegg preorder on the 17th due to Amazon's previous early release date. Considering I haven't even been charged yet this is really starting to worry me here...Still says estimated date of tomorrow though.

I bought a Macbook here on May 30 right after it came out and Amazon quoted me a ship date of August 15. After a few days I got an email saying it had been shipped and I had it at my house on June 6th.
