I'm currently traveling along the eastern seaboard of America. I have been to three apple stores on Manhattan, two apple stores in Boston, some of these on multiple days. You can purchase a 13" i7 MBA from the apple store, if they have one in stock. None of the stores I have been in have had that model or the other top model of the MBA for purchase.
Last night I tried in Philadelphia, no luck. So the wait on the online ordering isn't any different than shopping in the store. robin On 17/09/2011, at 5:36 PM, Ronda Brown <ro...@mac.com> wrote: > Ah Daniel, everyone knows you are definitely NOT a big meanie, not even a > little meanie. > And yes I didn't get the discount you give ;-( > > But, discount is only ONE of the reasons that I purchase all my computers, > Time Capsules, External Drives, gear and 'Toys' etc from you and recommend > you to all my clients & friends. > There is also the special care and support you give to all your clients. > > Plus you do "The exercise" for me and 'try' to make me "follow the plan" ;-) > It's difficult for you I know and you do go ' above & beyond the call of > duty'. > > Cheers, > Ronni > > > Sent from Ronni's iPad > > On 17/09/2011, at 4:52 PM, Daniel Kerr <wa...@macwizardry.com.au> wrote: > >> Lol,..you make me sound like a big meanie Ronni! :oP >> I was thinking of you cause you didn't get the discount I would have given >> you :o) >> Besides, you always tell me I'm meant to make sure you "follow the plan" >> before buying something like that :) hehehe. >> >> Kind regards >> Daniel >> >> On 17/09/2011, at 2:21 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: >> >>> Hi Stuart, >>> >>> All my CTO (BTO) 17” MacBook Pros have been built in China. >>> The only one I've purchased through Apple Store AU (which I’m still ‘a >>> little in trouble’ with Daniel ;-( >>> Was sent from Sydney to Shanghia, China to be BTO, then sent from Pudong >>> International Airport back to Sydney, then sent Sydney to Perth, then sent >>> Perth to me. >>> >>> After placing the order it was 4 days before leaving Apple Sydney to start >>> its journey ;-) >>> The ‘journey’ did only take approx 10 days, but they had plenty in stock at >>> the time. >>> >>> The MacBook Air is built in China also? >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Ronni >>> >>> On 17/09/2011, at 11:26 AM, Stuart Evans wrote: >>> >>>> Hi Rod, >>>> >>>> CTO's are built in Singapore, even if you order from the Apple Store. >>>> Usually it would take 5-10 days.
