    Anyone know how long it typically takes for retailers to get their fix of mbps?

    I want one and they said its 2-3 weeks until delivery...

    That's ridiculous, Best Buy is insane if they're going to make us wait two more weeks to get one of the new Macs. I've got a $500 gift card to Best Buy so I really wanted to use it on one of the new Macs. This is seriously frustrating and if it's true then I'll have to find somewhere other than Best Buy to do my shopping from now on.

    Wow, $500 Bryce? That's a lot :p.

    The Apple Stores have them already, I expect most retailers to get them within the end of the week. Canada, as usual, will be a bit slower though. It sucks.

    Easy killer, it came with the wedding... anyhow, I know the Apple stores already have them but there's really nothing else that Best Buy has that I would want to spend it on... Not only that but Backwoods, Virginia isn't exactly close to any Apple stores.

    So back to the original question... Anyone know how long it takes for non-Apple stores to get Macs. I've never owned a Mac so I'm not aware of how the company works exactly (like the insane amount of secrecy regarding new products for example), so I didn't know if they sold them exclusively through Apple stores for a time or if they were available anywhere.
