PowerBook G4 delays: BTO, European delivery

", 0, 0);


One day after we reported limited retail availability (and delays to mail order resellers), readers are (again) reporting delays of their Titanium PowerBook G4s, including BTO orders placed on January 9th and delivery of the PowerBook G4 in Europe....


[Justin Cordesman] "Apple sent me a fun new email last night informing me that my BTO Titanium has been delayed yet again. First time I called, they said it would ship on the 1st. I called on the first and they said the 8th, now they say BY THE 24TH. To put this in perspective, I ordered about an hour and a half after Jobs announced the thing..."

[European Reader] "Just called the German apple store to order a Powerbook
G4 500Mhz. They told me that I have to wait at least 45 Days !!! (until april). Until now Apple US gave no statement (to the german apple store) when the
powerbook would be available for german (european) customers. The same story as 1999 with the Lombard powerbook. At that time I had to wait 73 days. VERY VERY disappointing !!!"

    Me Too

    I also ordered on Jan 9th, and got the same E-mail form-letter. I don't know whether to beleive the time-frame (Feb 24) or if this is just a "projection" used to quiet the mob of complaints.

    Not me

    I ordered a 500 MHz Jan 16. I was told 21 days at the time. This past Tues (the 21st day) I called and was told to expect delivery mid-next week. I haven't received any email about a push back yet,

    BTO Problem?

    Is the problem with the BTO Machines?? I orders the 400 with 20 Gig HD.

    Only BTOs

    I also recieved this email regarding my order from 1/10. What I understand from calling Apple is that ONLY BTOs are affected by this delay. Standard units should still be ontrack for delivery.
