    Can you guys tell me how Apple is with its predicted delivery times??
    The company is new to me and I bought an MBP (see sig) 1 week ago.
    Thanks!

    Pardon my grammar. :eek:

    Why I ask is that AlienWare lies about delivery times and can stretch the wait over 2 months which is why I canceled (that and the hardware issues).

    Apples shipping is very fast, i ordered a Macbook Pro about a month after it had been released back when they first came out in 2006 and i was told i would get it within 2-3 weeks well i got it in 5days

    but i may vary for international shipping

    Apple is typically fast on shipping, and it can vary depending on the demand.

    Yeah alienware is by far the slowest shipper, the first laptop i ever had was from them circa 2003 which was there first laptop line and it 3 1/2 months to get it

    I didn't buy it online but @ the local Appledealer iFactors.nl. They told me up to 10 days like the Apple-onlinestore says.
    btw
    I also went for the xps1530 1,5 month ago but I canceled that when I saw that there were many grainy screen issues.
    If you need I have some info on what screens but you probably already know.. ;)
    Otherwise awesome laptop though and really great service, Dell.

    yeah it was expected to arrive when I ordered it last wednesday on March 25\31 (Macbook Air) It shipped a day later and I'm set to get it on the 18th... Go APPLE! I prefer a longer estimation and a shorter return any day.

    You will get it...Apple is a big company that doesnt want to make anyone unhappy. I went with Macbook PRO because I loved the iphone so much.
