Experience in delivery times for retina MBP so far?

So I put in an order for a retina Macbook Pro on June 17 and as we all know the estimated time to ship is 3-4 weeks right now.
For those of you who also ordered online, have you received yours yet?  Curious to see if the estimated time to ship is accurate or if they're just managing expectations.
Yes, I'm impatient!

I think it is great machine.  Display is very sharp. The machine is noticably faster than my 2009 MBP.  Had no problems moving my software and data from my old machine to the new one, using Time Machine Back-up.  It brought over VMWare for windows.  My son installed Windows 7, and it runs very well.  However, I use it only for Quicken.  So far the new MBP with retina display fulfills the hype for me.  Only problems I have experienced involve iPhoto.  Had problems converting the thumbnails to high resolution.  Apple Care support, after a long time on the phone solved the problem, after the call was moved to higher level of support.  However, iPhoto has crashed twice.  The good news is my photos look amazing on the retina display.

  • UK delivery times for photbooks?

    Hi
    Can anyone give me an idea, based on experience,
    of delivery times for photobooks ordered from the UK?
    I noticed that when you order, it says international orders dispatched in 2 working days, which made me think they are coming from the USA and might take a long time to arrive.
    I'm working on a photobook for my brother's 50th birthday on 13 May, and it's important that I get it in time.
    Thanks

    Well in the end I used photobox instead and they did a fantastic job. Hardback book came with a cut-out in the cover, like the iphoto ones, but was cheaper.I ordered on a Sunday, and the book was despatched the following day - a bank holiday! - and arrived on the Wednesday.

  • Upgraded 2012 MACBOOK PRO 2.6Ghz 8GB RAM 750 GB an alternate for RETINA MBP 15 or NOT?How good is its potential, reliability ?

    I am a student and an aspiring filmmaker.I am also into digital cinematography (Canon 550D) and now will be venturing into editing. I am in DIRE NEED of help
    I have a few problems regarding the purchase of Macbook pro.I live in Kolkata(India).I have been waiting for the past 1 and a half years to buy a Mac but after the release of Retina Macbook pro 15.I am left confused. Its near unupgradability and unreparibility rumors, delayed delivery, and 1st generation hardware issues especially the lack of Optical drive made me reconsider my decision of buying one.
    I want to know whether I can go for the top model of Non Retina - 2.6Ghz 8GB RAM 750 GB 1 GB Nvidea as an alternate choice for Retina MBP pro or NOT ?
    1.I wanted to buy the Retina Base model. Though it is very recently launched and there is a big risk buying it because they say it is unrepairable and unfixable as 'everything is glued into the motherboard' dialogue scares me. Something goes wrong after purchase and they send it back to US, is what the Apple officials said. Moreover they don’t keep one on a demo at Apple stores in kolkata. I have searched almost everywhere and have been to many resellers in my city but no use.
    NOW,I am very sceptical about custom ordering a Macbook 15 non retina with High-Res 1680X1050p from US.I don’t know how much custom duty or expenses I have to pay and is it safe or not. Time is also a factor. Sadly, I have to buy one in Kolkata (my city) it seems.
    2. I am opting for Macbook Pro 15,2.6 Ghz,8GB RAM. Buying it for the sole purpose of editing(audio, video, photos).I need something which is fast along with a good screen size. My original decision was to buy the 17inch but after the launch of Retina and the upgraded 15 inch, I am only looking forward to the upgraded models. Many say 13 inch is fast, but it features a dual core with a maximum of 2.9Ghz clockspeed. I on the other hand want a quad core i7 with good upgradability options and a good screen size. The 13 inch may be a favorite for many, but I want nothing less than a 15 inch. One good option I get with non Retina 15 is its upgradability, while many say Retina MBP 15 can be made upgradable in future but that time is yet to come and by the time the whole web becomes ‘retina friendly’ and all applications supporting its 2880X1800 resolution, I may end up waiting only. Yes the picture quality remains unbeatable when compared to Retina Pro and it will always be. Though friends, I am a student, I want something which is fast, can run almost anything and future dependable. Retina Mac book Pro in India is 2799 USD - Base model. I cannot pay that amount just for the screen. As far as speed is concerned, I plan to get an OWC SSD and a 16 GB OWC RAM in the future resulting in greater speed when comparing the configuration with Retina 15.That problem is solved.
    My problem here is this: The web is filled with reviews and videos of Retina Macbook Pro and the upgraded Macbook Pro 15 is just no where, if you even find a few videos, they only feature unboxing videos of Macbook pro 15 (i7-2.3Ghz-4GB-500GB-500MB Nvidea).Other videos compare the 2.3ghz model with Retina 15 pro. They are not elaborate like the 15 Retina Pro reviews.
    1. I want to know about the real performance, potential, pros, cons of Macbook Pro 15 (i7 2.6Ghz 8GB RAM 750 GB 1GB Nvidea graphics).
    So my question to you is what is your opinion on the 15 inch non retina ? HOW FAST do you think is the new upgraded 15inch non retina i7-2.6Ghz-8GB-750GB model really is ?I have read on many mac forums and seen on a particular youtube video that 15inch 2.3Ghz model takes an alarming 40 seconds to start because of traditional hard drive ! A normal DELL Inspiron starts at 15 secs max with i3+4 GB RAM and this particularly confuses me about the whole quad core processing and stuff and speed when running applications like C6,FCP,Lightroom etc is to be determined in regard to the model I want to buy.
    2. Is it necessary to buy APPLE CARE WARRANTY when buying a laptop from Apple.What are the benefits and how is it different form the normal customer care ?
    3. Please enlighten me on some nice headphones from Sennheizer under 90 USD.I am considering Sennheiser HD 439.I am not a bass freak and I want something to use for listening to voice, loud clear. In short, a headphone for all purpose. I heard the HD 449 is not that good compared to HD 439.They say it is Jazz oriented. Another confusion  !
    Finally, If you know anyone who knows about this configuration (15inch 2.6 8GB RAM 750GB) and its performance than please help me out my friends. Any small detail, input, you feel like please let me know. Please help me be sure and satisfied am buying my Macbook Pro very soon and I am awaiting your response.

    Well, are you talking about a 750 Hard Drive or SSD?  If SSD (quite expensive) it will certainly be as fast.  One option is to get the smallest HD they have and with the Non Retina you can upgrade the HD to an SSD later or now but save a little money.  Check with iFixit or OWC for instructions.  HD's do take longer to start up and load, but once open, the processor and video work just the same as on the Retina model.  The SSD speed is nice, but really not critical.  So you have to wait a minute for your computer to boot up.  The other big question is you need to find out if the non-retina model will take 16GB of ram.  According to OWC's site, it will, 16GB for 150USD.  Once you get programs open and resident in ram, everything will fly.

  • Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

    Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
    As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000. 
    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300. 
    With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
    The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
    All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
    So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
    If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
    The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
    They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
    Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
    Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
    The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
    On other applications your mileage may vary.
    Application benchmarks:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
    The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
    Graphics oriented benchmarks:
    On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
    On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
    On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

  • Prolonged delivery times for SSDs

    Why does the delivery time for BTO iMacs specced with SSDs bump up from a few days to 4-6 weeks?

    Given that it's only the SSD option that increases the lead time that much, it looks like Apple don't have enough SSDs on hand at the moment to predict a shorter delivery time, so they're managing expectations.

  • Contract - Plant Conditions - Different delivery times for plant

    Hi people,
    I have a question about contracts , in transaction ME32K.
    I enter a Contract number
    Edit -> Plant Conditions menu.
    Select a plant and I can enter a different Net Price for each item for this plant. How can I enter "Planned Delivery Time" for each item for this plant?
    In this case, the vendor has different delivery times for each plant and I cannot enter this information.
    Do you know if it is possible?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
        The basic requirement is for the trading of material which is imported  and for the material which are purchase locally there should be different invoice for such materials,  but while creating the sales order we have only one sales order including all types of materials so in such case we want to create different delivery challans  so that different invoice can be made easily  or only twi invoice for one delivery challan.
    regards,

  • Average startup time for 2012 MBP with ML?

    I recently bought a brand new 13" mbp (i5 2.5ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb 5400rpm). After installing some apps and updating mountian lion from 10.8 to 10.8.2, startup is much slower now and takes around 45 sec (time period from powering on the mbp to login screen). Also apps are launching slower now. Startup was taking less than its half before updating the mac os. Is there any way to improve the startup time? What is an average boot time for similar mbp?

    I ordered mine on May 17, it was shipped from the factory May 24 (China) and delivered to my door the morning of May 25 (time zones and a date line account for the fast enroute time. I ordered the 7200rpm drive, 2gb RAM & glossy screen.
    So far, absolutely no problems, the unit works perfectly.

  • 8GB vs. 16GB, revisited for Retina MBP, advances in tech and low prices

    Hi everyone. The "How much RAM is the right amount" has been asked for a long time, but I'd like to re-ask the question keeping in mind that the Retina MBP cannot be upgraded but it already gives you a generous 8GB. I know, I know, it all depends on what you use it for, so let me give you my usage scenario: I have at least two browsers open with about 30 tabs open between them. Safari and Chrome to be precise. I haven't used Firefox in a while, but may go back to using it again as well. I also like to keep Mail, Messages, Calendar, Notes, and some monitoring utilities open at all times as well.
    I also want to ask the question with OS X memory usage and how Activity Monitor reports RAM usage. For example, I had 16GB on my late-2011 17" MBP just because it was cheap and Activity Monitor breaks down RAM usage in 4 areas: Active, Wired, Inactive, Free, where the first two is RAM actually used by the system, but Inactive RAM was often used to a fairly large degree. Sometimes it would report RAM as "Inactive" to the point where only 1 or 2GB were shown as "Free". Quick disclaimer: I know that inactive RAM can be immediately assigned to applications that need it, but what I'd like to know is as to whether the overall speed and stability of so many apps would truly benefit from 16GB of RAM or not. There must be some reason for this Inactive RAM being used as what, caching? It almost has to be of some benefit, because if there wasn't any benefit to it, why have the "Inactive" category at all, or am I missing something here?
    Thanks everyone. :-)

    I would say you will want the 16GB for a few reasons. You are working with memory-intensive datasets, and also you are running a virtual machine. VMs tend to use up a lot of RAM since it means you are running two complete OSs at the same time, on top of any other apps you might be running.
    The third reason is that the Retina models cannot be upgraded after purchase. You would not want to have an 8GB forever if you discovered that your future work needed a bit more memory. You've already demonstrated doing some tasks that can be RAM-intensive, just max out the RAM and never worry about it again.
    If you still have doubts, learn how to analyze RAM usage and particularly swap file behavior in Activity Monitor. If your Mac is already paging to swap files frequently, you already need the RAM. If you do work for several days and swap paging activity is low, you don't need the RAM.

  • "Real" delivery times for iPhone 4 in HK ?

    Hi there,
    my iPhone got stolen today, but incidentally, a while ago, I had ordered an iPhone for a friend who won't be back for another 4 weeks, and this one arrived today. So I am contemplating to use this one for myself and ordering a new one for him.
    So that's what I did, ordered a new one and got told by Apple that the delivery will be in almost 6 weeks (25/11) which would be too late.
    But for the one I received today, they originally told me as well that it would take 6 weeks (11/11), but eventually, I received it in 2 weeks.
    Before breaking the package, it would be good to get some feedback what delivery times people are experiencing when ordering iPhone4 in HK (of course, living here as well).
    Thanks a lot, Nick

    Is there not an O2/T-Mobile/Orange/Vodafone/3UK/Carphone Warehouse/Phones4U shop nearer to you or have you pre-ordered from Apple and need to pick-up? 
    Last year I finished work, travelled back from Bristol to Gloucester, walked into the O2 shop and didn't have to queue for a minute to get my 3GS.

  • Delivery times for iwatch

    I Have recently ordered a new iwatch on 12/04/2015 obviously I wasn't expecting delivery on the 24/04/2025 but was a little shocked that delivery is now estimated
    for the month of June. I then started to get buyers remorse and was contampating cancelling my order online - I've now changed my mind having visited an apple shop today successfully booking an appointment whilst in store meant only a five minute wait to try one on.
    It is absolutely brilliant and can't wait for mine to arrive.
    what do you think the chances are of my delivery time coming forward?

    As someone is sure to point out, we are all users like yourself - not Apple employees - so it is just guesses on our parts. However I have recently read several articles that implied (either through their own guesswork or actual sources in Apple) that a lot of those June delivery dates are probably going to be earlier than originally estimated.

  • Regarding planned delivery time for Subcontracting process

    1.Factory calender is maintained  and assigned to the plant,SUNDAY is
    not working day for Client,so the system is not planning any internal
    activities for SUNDAY,up to here it is fine.
    2.One semi finished material is produced by vendor.i.e.Sub contracting
    process, it takes 2 days to complete.For vendor SUNDAY is not a
    working day.
    3.Planned delivery time is maintained as 2 days ,so that if PO is
    release on MONDAY ,the delivery date on WEDNESDAY.
    4.If  requirement is on MONDAY ,In MRP Run System is generating the
    release date on SATURDAY and delivery date on MONDAY,here system is
    taking the calender days not the factory calender days,Client is
    asking for correct delivery date.
    5.Is there any way to tell the system that SUNDAY is not working day
    for vendor,so that system will generate the release date on FRIDAY
    and delivery date on MONDAY.
    Please give your valuable inputs.

    Hi
    the following link might help you in setting the planned delivery time in your defined calendar, rather than the general calendar days.

  • How can consider Planned delivery time for subcontracting dependent of qty

    Dear guru ,
    How can mrp schedule delivery date of a subcontracting purchase requisition in order to consider planned delivery time and quantity to purchase.
    Thanks

    dear guru ,
    I want to create a self-defined info structure similar to S013.
    I want to add field purchasing group from EKKO-EKGRP. The other fields are similar to S013 with the same rules.
    What do you suggest i can do consider note 397864 :
    You are not permitted :a) to use info structure S013 as a template for self-defined info structures (This is prevented as of Release 4.5 due to a termination message).b) to create any update rules for S013 with a self-defined update group.c) to include the enhanced update rules that are used for S013 during the definition of key figure updating into the definition of the update of a self-defined info structure (compute...).
    Thanks

  • Norway - any know what´s the delivery time for purchase new iPhone 4S?

    On the web it says 1-2 weeks. Is that a reality?

    Theo - while I do not live or work in your part of the country I can at least share my experience.  I had a state of the art Droid Charge 4G LTE prior to getting the iPhone 4S.  Keeping all things equal, when I used my Charge on 3G, which was almost the entire time I owned it, it was slower than what I am getting on my new iPhone.  I was averaged .1 - ,5 down with my Charge and I am getting .5 - 1.2 down on my iPhone.  I really don't know what difference location makes other than the sheer amount of people on the network, but the iPhone should outperform your old Droid.
    I would recommend calling Apple Care or stopping by a genius bar at an Apple store.  You could also check the download speeds of display phones at a store, then compare yours at the same time for a determination of a harware issue or data issue.  I know this is some work, but it should narrow down a cause.

  • Bootup time for 2012 MBP?

    Needs some help in deciding whether to upgrade to SSD or not.
    I know for a fact SSD will speed up bootup time incredibly.  How much difference in bootup time we are talking about here?
    My friend recently got a MBP (5400rpm HD) running Mountain Lion and the bootup from the time powerup to the time the login screen comes up is like close to 55 seconds.  Are we talking about at least half the time with SSD?
    Thanks.

    I have never actually clocked my boot up time for my SSD in a while, if I remember correctly though it was about 15 seconds. The reason is there is no spinning disks to spin up and then find all the information on. SSDs are more like ram. The computer is directed to where the information is and it has it. I am very happy with my SSD, not only a fast boot up, but programs and files open quickly. Also read and write speeds can so much as tripple, so duplicating, and moving files is also faster, and OCZ has a 5 year warranty on there SSDs. I like the fact that storage bays in all MacBook Pros 2011 and newer are user upgradable. That means if you are savy enough, you can put it in yourself without voididng the warranty, and when you buy a new mac in 6 years or so, you can transfer it if you would like. Check out OCZ here! The Vertex 4 has a write speed of 560 MB/s, mine is about 550Mb/s.
