So what's your ship date?

Foxdog175 · Sep 18, 2003, 11:15 PM

Care to share the bill?

mac freak · Sep 18, 2003, 11:37 PM

Any point to this thread other than making us envious?

mayomani · Sep 18, 2003, 11:39 PM

Excellent choice on the order. All the power you need for on the go and more than enough power for at home.

Ordered my Dual 2.0 6/23, first day and received it today. Changed my shipping to overnight after i received my email from apple telling me that the orders had been pushed back ( who would have guessed!). Let me tell you very very very fast...

mayomani · Sep 18, 2003, 11:43 PM

thought bosolevu ordered dual 2.0 G5, anyways bosolevu i'm sure have more than enough fun with his new toys..

The 15" AluBook will ship on or before 9/19, that's with the standard 80GB hard drive and superdrive configuration. The dual 2.0GHz G5 has a ship date on or before 10/23. Everything else arrives within the next few days, including my dual 17" Studio Display's.

I did order a dual 2.0 G5...I just have to change the specs in my signature. More like add to it!

Just ordered a CTO Dual with 9800 pro, 250 HD, Blue tooth, and two 23" Apple LCD's. Apple said same day on the 23" displays but the ship time has slipped twice from 16th to the 19th. This sucks I asked for Fed Ex over night and now they will ship on Friday, I hope they deliver on Saturdays.

FYI the Dual is slated to ship on or before oct 22 I order on 9/16

hopefully they are ramping up to full production sooner.

Apple has it Shipped Yet?

Reading this kind of thread just isn't good for my health. You are a very lucky man.
I'm assuming you're a man of course, if you're a woman are you single?

mmhmm. And what was your bill, Mr. Moneybags?

(sorry if I sound nosy, but this interests me very much

)

BobK · Sep 19, 2003, 09:53 AM

Hate is not strong enough of a word.

Here at work we just ordered a $10,000, G5 dulie for a Doc, maxed out with 23" cinema display. Wow!
10 Grand for a computer.......

Thain Esh Kelch · Sep 19, 2003, 10:46 AM

You know...I wouldn't share this kind of info

People could find you and do bad things.

I know I wouldn't tell people about my Dual G5/ATI9800 with 2 15'' 1.25 Ghz Albooks/dual 20'' LCD if I got one

hate to disappoint you but I am a man

ckohler · Sep 19, 2003, 01:26 PM

Actually, I think he's a boy, not a man.

Leonis · Sep 19, 2003, 09:06 PM

may I know where you live?

bosolevu · Sep 23, 2003, 07:27 PM

well, this morning my 15" AluBook arrived at my doorstep!!! all I can say is that this machine is sweet. I'm upgrading from a G3 500 Pismo and the difference is amazing! The screen is perfect and really bright. Now just waiting for the Dual 2GHz G5 to arrive in a few weeks. This PowerBook should keep me busy until then...

Huh. After I get back from my honeymoon, I'm about to sell my ThinkPad and my custom-build WinXP rig and do the very same thing.

I had a 12 and 17 Alubook. I want a 15 too!

No, I'm richer!

kentuckyfried · Sep 23, 2003, 10:56 PM

I also hate you.

Hey, since you're so rich, how about sparing another G5 for a brotha?

Congrats bosolevu!

Post your pics too!

///Milien · Oct 13, 2003, 10:05 AM

Congrats!!! I am trying to see if I can get a 12" and 20" ACD for the office now. I would love to upgrade the 1.8 to a dual 2.0 but would have to find a buyer for a month-old G5.

why would you want to upgrade the 1.8? not powerful enough?

It's definitely powerful, but upgrading to a dual is more of a thought right now.

h00ligan · Oct 13, 2003, 06:28 PM

LMFAO

That is actually a great amount of gear for 8 g's.

why dual 17"s instead of a single 22-23?

Since I will be using this primarily for Pro Tools LE, I needed a dual monitor setup. If I had the budget I would have purchased dual 20"s. Someday...
