Anyone received a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 desktop recently? If so, when did you order it?



I ordered one on Oct 3rd. The Apple web site still shows Nov 15 as projected date of shipment. I called the local Apple store yesterday; they say they haven't seen one in over 4 weeks.

    Yes, almost all of the initial orders have been fulfilled in the past 2 weeks. Expect yours soon, they've ramped up production, so they should be easier to get.

    I ordered one on 10/22 with a 6800. Ship date is on or before 11/30.

    My friend got his today. Apple replaced his one-year-old-never-worked-properly powerbook with a dual 2,5 G5... pretty awsome!

    So that's only about two weeks earlier than I ordered mine. That probably means the 15 Nov date is fairly accurate.



    Thanks for the replies

    I gave up waiting and ordered a refurbished one. It came in two days, with extra memory and a bigger hard drive. Not bad.

    A refurbished dual 2.5? Where did you find one?

    They're listed on the refurb page on Apple's online store for $2799.00. They come and go, so it's best to check in the morning. I bought my dual 2.0 as a refurb right after they announced the 2.5 for $1999.00 essentially $1000.00 cheaper than it had been (new, anyway) the week before. Refurbs can be great deals, and once in a while, you can strike gold and get a refurb that was loaded up with extra RAM or something originally.



    Oh, well, Timo deserves it, anyway.
