the sky is falling! the sky is falling!
they need to start getting tougher with the kids that are building those laptops in the factory, they are taking forever to get one done.
that's the time mine will come, within a first shipment to the reseller.
good for me ;-)
and I don't have time to wait another 6months, I've been waiting now since january, so it's about time!
I went to the Apple SoHo store on Wednesday for a look at the 17" model. They had one, but it was rotating atop a cyclindrical marquis about a foot above my head.
Got to play with the 12" model. Nice keyboard. Is it me, or does the aluminum finish look kind of plastic?
This is wonderful news to me, woohoooo, hope mine ships soon!
Seems to me that by the time the orders get filled it will be time for a price cut... then all those people who ordered early will really be upset! (I am glad I am waiting...)
The 17" is going to be one sweet machine. Apple has really perfected this particular enclosure (about frickin' time, too). The keys feel sooooo much better now (not that it was bad before, just spongy), the case is harder to scratch (but not to dent, just so you know), it's significantly lighter and seems even sexier somehow. Now if they'd just give it a kicky handle like the iBooks had at one time, it would be perfect! :)
By now, doesn't everybody know that "month ship date" means month plus another month? It's been the norm for several years now, so it's no surprise to me. I don't like it anymore the anybody else but seems like that's the way it is.
What am I going to do with this big plastic heavy Dell I just bought, DUDE?

No hurry
I'll wait another 6 months at least. Hopefully Apple can get their shipping delays taken care of.
