Mmm, nice...

I understand that Apple make all their computers at one of two factories in Shanghai. I might be wrong, and they may have a US based factory as well (at least, I can't think of any good reason why build time for my iMac is 7 days in the States but 3 weeks in the UK!). Apple have always been...

I'm just hoping it compensates for the state of my bank balance :D Phoned TNT and they said they were due to deliver it on Monday. They don't deliver International orders on a Saturday apparently, but he did say as it would be in the UK by then that I could pop to the depot Saturday morning...

At last! TNT have got it! It's on its way. Kind of. It's passed through a checkpoint at Arnhem anyway. Should be the last leg now. I do hope it works...

Sadly, it's not quite that simple. Kuehne & Nagel fly it out from Shanghai to Luxembourg, then transport by land to the Netherlands where they hand it over to either TNT for delivery to the UK or to Flextronics Logistics. If the latter happens it's because you made a multiple order that has...

Ahh, dedums! I just had my official shipment notification. Checked on Apecode and it's still waiting for its plane tomorrow, so I reckon I'll get it middle of next week. I'll be sure to let you know how luvverly it is! Obviously, I complain better than you do...

I wouldn't worry about it. I just checked on apecode and mines been booked on a flight for.... Friday. Which is when they told me it would be dispatched. By which time, yours will probably have joined it.

It's been dispatched, though they haven't sent me notification yet! But the online store shows it as shipped and in transit.

Yeah, I asked why some people that I'm hearing about seem to have jumped ahead of me in the queue and got an 'erm, oh, er, not really sure why that would happen...' Personally, I won't mind so long as it turns up this week and is full working order! So confident am I that it's on its way...

My order was placed on 27th Sept through the Higher Education store. When it missed its shipment date (25th Oct) I gave them a call and made a nuisance of myself, resulting in my order being bumped up to Priority 1 (what was it before I wonder? Education orders are supposed to be priority...

Ooh... Apple have just debited my card. Could it be that I can expect a dispatch note soon???

I have received exactly the same notification this morning! I'd like to know which people exactly jumped the queue though, as my order was supposedly a priority (Education Customer). If they miss this shipping date I might seriously consider buying one of those windows machines...

Yeah, mine was supposed to ship on or before 25/10. The units get shipped out from the production factory in Shanghai (I believe) to The Netherlands where they are handed over to TNT for UK delivery. At this point they issue the Delivery Notification so you can track it. However, the guy at...

Yey! I'm the first person I've heard of who's nice new spangly iMac has actually missed its shipping date! Marvelous. And after they cut the delivery times by a week in the intervening period too. Is it only Apple Store UK, or is it Apple in general that's crap at keeping to delivery dates...

Mine's due at the end of October, I'm buying an extra 1GB RAM from Crucial (anybody know whether Memory prices are going up or down at the moment??) What I'm interested in, has anybody opened their's up yet and taken a look inside? What are the upgrade possibilities like (beyond the...

Guess what? --------- Coming Soon... iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz 250 GB Serial ATA Drive Superdrive 1.25GB DDR400 SDRAM Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

Having looked a bit more closely I've decided I'll probably buy it with 256MB memory then get a 1GB module from Crucial. Doesn't cost much more, gives me a little bit extra in terms of memory and then the option to get another 1GB module further down the line. Still not sure I should buy...

What I'm currently looking at is this: 20" 1.8GHz iMac G5 250GB Serial ATA 1GB SDRAM Wireless Keyboard and Mouse with Production Suite The reason for buying Production Suite is that it is actually cheaper than buying Final Cut Express and DVD Studio Pro, because DVD Studio Pro is not...

Hail to the wise and wonderful (howdy to the rest of you!) I'm about to start Uni and am looking at buying one of the beautiful new G5 iMacs for my video editing needs. Thing is, I won't actually need it for around 4 months and can happily live with my old and reliable G3. Based upon...

Just thought I'd check before buying. Western Digital Caviar WD600JB Special Edition - Hard drive - 60 GB - standard - 3.5" - ATA-100 - 7200 rpm - 2 MB Will this do as a replacement HD for my iMac G3 400MHz DVSE? Are there any problems I should know (except for the 'shouldn't use a 7200...
