Let's compare Dual G5 ship dates
Hey y'all. I ordered my BTO dual G5 on 8/16, and the estimated ship date is listed as 10/29! I haven't heard anyone else mention any such ship date so distant, maybe because everyone else in my position is smart enough to forget about it until the ship data approaches. Anyway, do others have similar orderdate-shipdate spans?
FYI I ordered through the higher education store.

BTO dualie with Radeon 9800 Pro and Bluetooth module.
Ships on or before 9/29
est Ship Date 29/09
Which i think was just automatically created - as it is exactly 10 weeks from when i ordered, and at the time it said to allow 7 - 10weeks for shipment.
BTO with Airport/BTooth

Ordered: 7/10
Shipping: 8/29
Ordered: 07/06
Shipping: 08/29 (I'll beleive it when I have a tracking number!)
I called Apple, and the rep assumed it was because both of my systems are CTOs, but she said that changing it now would do nothing to speed things up.
Grrrrrrrr.....
added radeon 9800
added bluetooth
deleted superdrive
ordered: 7/6
shipping date: 8/29
last week I was told Sept 10th.
I will believe it when i see it.
I might add that it is also $ 283.00 cheaper than the Apple store (no tax or shipping) and I get an additional 1 gig of Ram.
2GB DDR400 (PC3200) - 2x1GB
2x250GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm
Super Drive (DVD-R/CD-RW)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
56k V.92 Internal Modem
BlueTooth Module
Airport Extreme Card
Apple Keyboard & Mouse

Ordered 6/30, est. ship 8/29. Like one of the posters above, I'll believe it when I have a tracking number BUT they were being optimistic on the phone.

Still shows 8/29.
Whats it going to be Apple?
Does it need to reach "being prepped for shipping" to show the shipping date or when does that show up ?
Can't wait !

look at the bottom of the confirmation email. It will say something along the lines of "On or before [date]"

wow! you ordered on the 21st and it's already being assembled? did you get a stock configuratino or a build-to-order? where did you order from?
john
It's the stock configuration.
I'll add more RAM later when prices drop a bit.
I ordered by phone at the german Apple Store, because the online order the evening before failed.
But I didn't get a final order confirmation yet, only an "order received" email.
We'll see...
Alex.
Shipping on or before 09/30/2003
BTO Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
BlueTooth Module
I have another gig of ram and a WD Raptor waiting for it's new home
Man, I can't wait... upgrading from a 450MHz B&W G3 (768MB/9GB 15K Cheetah). The only thing that worries me is disk speed. I haven't owned an IDE drive since 1994 and I know it's not going to be _slow_ but still. I have 5 18GB SCSI drives laying around and I may just put them in an external case and bring the SCSI card over from my G3. We'll see.
Order still shows 8/29.
When is Apple going to slip me the salami and change the ship date to mid September?
Nice rig Hardcore!
Same setup as mine.
Had to go the Radeon 9800 Pro. 8)
Just in the last hour my DP 2.0 (stock config) went from 8/29/03 to 9/26/03!!
Mine just went from 8/29 to 9/26.
And I sure as hell would not bet the bank on this change either.
SCREW YOU APPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
