It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally going to take the plunge and buy a Mac of my own.
I've decided on the 17" Powerbook - it just suits me. So here's my undoubtedly longwinded question:
I don't know how Apple's shipping times and such work. They have 7-10 weeks as the estimated ship time for the 17", which is understandable because that's when it's being released. What I wonder is whether I should go ahead and order one soon, or just wait until the official release. I want to get it as soon as possible, so I don't know whether ordering one now will ensure that I'll get it as soon as possible, or whether I'll be able to wait until they actually start shipping to place my order. My fear is that even when release time rolls around it'll still take a few too many weeks to recieve the computer.
Anyone care to shed some light on this?
