    None of the retailers I've approached have had any stock ? anywhere in the country.

    In Canada the supplies are also a little limited. I ordered a new MBP on June 5th and according to Apple it isn't due to ship until June 26th. It kind of sounds like there is a slight supply problem, driven no doubt by a very high demand.

    A colleague of mine got one a week back. Not sure from where exactly. It was brought in for him by our boss, who also had a 23" ACD with him. All very dubious. Perhaps he got 'em off a bloke down the pub who knows someone whose brother's wife's ex-boyfriend once touched Steve Job's black poloneck.

    bought = when you buy something

    brought = when you bring something



    bort = chav's text message version of both



    borked = Apple's MBP supply chain

    Hi, I have got one and had it now for just over a week. All is working well.



    Got mine from John Lewis together with a 2 year warranty rather than the standard Apple 1 year.

    Which MBP did you order mate? The 15" or 17"?



    I ordered a 17" on the 12th of June I think it was, just before the update, then I got informed the update was no official, and they asked would I like to reconfigure.....so I said yes and sent in my new order, arrived about 10 days later. No aloud it till my bday on friday tho
