Thenew MacBookis out today , if by “ out ” you mean “ moderately much in hiding . ” you’re able to order one online , but if you were hoping to actually get one in your live little hands today , you may encounter yourself let down .
At least I did . I have spent the good morning calling around to every Apple Store in the Bay Area , and they have all explain , very courteously , that I canplace an parliamentary law onlineor over the phone , but I ca n’t actually go to the stock today and pick one up . I wound up place an Holy Order for a space hoar base model , with the early home bringing sentence of April 16–20 , including a $ 10 rush cargo ships upcharge .
Without that fee , the quote window for free merchant marine to my home plate was April 20–22 , and if I opted to have it shipped to a entrepot to pick up , the calculate cartridge Clarence Shepard Day Jr. was April 22 . Silver MacBooks were present the same delivery estimates as of this morning , but the amber version had already slipped to “ 3 to 4 weeks . ” ( I was only looking at the foundation modelling , nothing upgrade or work up to order . )
Butlike Veruca Salt , I want it now .
Display model are usable at many computer memory , according to the Apple Store employees I spoke to . “ You ’re more than invited to come on in and take a look , ” one repp told me brilliantly , then launched into a spiel about the features and benefits . He understood why I wanted it today . ( So does my homeboy Cookie Monster here . )
Me want employment Force Touch trackpad too .
So anyway , if you were planning to go out on your tiffin hour and break up up Apple ’s first Au MacBook , you should in spades call ahead . Or just order online and hope it shows up quicker than expected .
