I too ordered my 2ghz Black Macbook with 160 gb HD on the 8th...no word yet on shipping tho :-( Upgrading from a PB 12" 867 with 256mb Ram so this should be quite an improvement for me...

I ordered the 2GHz white one, 2GB, 160, and then the mini DVI to DVI adapter.

Also not shipped, estimated ship date 13-15 Nov, with estimated delivery date of 15-20 Nov. No idea how they come up with 20 if I have 2 day shipping, though...

mine is still sitting in alaska. i still have hopes for wednesday though.

I'm in an odd spot.

I have a Blackbook 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD coming to me probably tomorrow or Wednesday, and I'm thinking about returning it. See, I already have a rev A MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 15" matte LCD), and I don't think I'll be happy with the GMA950. Yes the smaller form factor is nice, but given the hassle of selling my MBP for a non-pro machine with no real GPU...well, I don't know. I think I'm inclined to simply return the MBP and not even bother with it. I don't know if I'll be happy with the MB after having the MBP.

residentEvil · Nov 13, 2006, 08:02 PM

why did you buy* the new MB then?

*someone else buy it? gave it to you?

It's because the 18th and 19th fall on the weekend. So, if it ships on the 15th, and it is somewhat delayed, it'll be delivered on Monday the 20th.

Not two day shipping in that case, though.

They're good about refunding shipping charges if they screw up anyway.

Still, can't wait.

Notebookless at the moment and it is very annoying...

Update on shipping...they must be upgrading shipping time for some people. I did not request 2 day shipping. However, my macbook (custom configured) was shipped very early this morning and the email states that I will receive it on the 16th!

residentEvil · Nov 14, 2006, 10:36 AM

And if the next revision just has the Santa Rosa updated chip and no new features then what, keep waiting?

Well, there is the 802.11n draft wireless chip, and the bigger hard drives and double layer Superdrives on the two highr-end ones are welcome.

Not to mention 4MB cache on the 2ghz models for a extra boost for media applications.

I ordered one on Monday.

I ordered a white one on the 8th and it hasn't even shipped, so don't feel bad.

Also, apparently it is 2-3 day shipping, even though the order says 2 day shipping.

I have only heard rumors of the Draft N chip. Is there any verification? The one we have on display says 802.11G.

Think Secret - New MacBook, MacBook Pros get 802.11n treatment

cyrana · Nov 15, 2006, 08:10 PM

Well, the 15th was my last estimated ship date and it didn't ship as of yet.
