The waiting for the nMP thread on another site is getting very long. Finally, people who ordered around the time I did are getting theirs, so with any luck my wait will be over soon.
Fortunately this will be my last machine for a couple of years so I won't have to go through this again (waited forever last year for an iMac).
Every now and then I peek art Apple's MP page, where they say things like: "What's truly radical is what you can do with it... we can't wait to see what you create with it."
I've been saving up for a new computer for quite a while so I four-week wait was no hardship for me , been using my new Mac pro for a couple weeks now and it's awesome ! When I go over to my girlfriends I take it with me it fits in my camera bag it's awesome!
Sales tax in Japan goes up 3% from April, which would add $180 to the cost of the MP (CTO). I am not against the tax, but I would like to have the money to spend elsewhere!
Conspiracy theory: Apple is delaying my order until the tax increase in order to....
Stopped by my shop, an Apple Premium Reseller, today. They had just checked with Apple.
My order will not process until April.
Yeah, April. And they can even say early, mid or late April.
THREE MONTHS. Or MORE.
Regarding the sales tax increase, the shop was essentially told, tough.
Checking online, people who ordered in February are already receiving their orders. Not the same config, but the same parts (6 core, 32GB RAM, 1TB, D700), so it is not due to a lack of parts. US seems to get first treatment, regardless of order date.
I also called the Apple Store; if I ordered through them today, my order would process in, drumroll, APRIL. The same as an order made through a Premium Reseller (title decided by Apple) in January.
You've left me confused , I thought you ordered already ? Will new product from Apple comes out the smart thing to do is to order from Apple directly ! I live in the UK it took four weeks for me a cup of my friends said it took six weeks ! I'm 45 and converted to Apple for years ago the best decision I made ! Since then I've had a lot of negativity about Apple most of it is bullshit !!! I'm enjoying my new Mac Pro it was worth the wait and it is so quiet I forget is on is the best computer I've ever had good luck on your purchase and I hope it arrives soon
I was told today that my order placed on January 16 would arrive in April.
I called the Apple Store to see when an order placed now (late March) would arrive. They said April.
I've been an Apple user since the Apple IIe back in the 1980s. Have had ups and downs in my satisfaction with them. Am in one of the down periods right now, I guess.
I'm sorry ... We all have ups and down I understand is very frustrating I went to apple store and had training it was pretty poor then I found out , i it was a Apple franchise , I buy all my products from Apple shops or online apple store and I'll book training with Apple And it was fantastic my spirit of apple has been positive 95% of time !! I would never go back to PC !! I hope you get your Mac Pro soon good luck
My shop called Apple again today and, though I don't know the content of the discussion, my order status has moved up a notch.
So, there is hope yet...
A frustrating wait to go through, but I hope to putting the beast to good use soon and forget about it all.
Would it be faster if you ordered from Apple in the states and then had it forwarded directly to you that way? I seem to recall your iMac taking a very long time, too.

That is some bag WOW!
You do realise the Mac Pro is only this size:
That would easily fit in a lot of video camera bags.
I can't believe how small the new Mac Pro is and it doesn't weigh much either
It is so quiet I hope you enjoy it as I'm enjoying mine

LOL!
Theory wrong.
Theory wrong.
It was a joke...
Still waiting... 66 days. Orders made weeks after mine are getting delivered.
What is the holdup, Apple?

Have some patience and you will rewarded greatly.

It arrived yesterday and is churning away.
Hopefully others get theirs in good time.
