I want to order an iMac - it states delivery 4-6 weeks.

Can I safely go away for a couple of weeks without it turning up?

 

I wouldn't risk it as I've known them to deliveri

 

I wouldn't risk it as I've known them to deliveries Forward.

 

gonna say the same.... unlike some companies, Apple tend to surprise you with early deliveries

 

Agree, I ordered an Imac last year and it turned up in a couple of days.

 

it's actually only the SSD that makes it that length of delay.

Without the SSD and maxed out on options, it's still only 4 days.

I'll wait. I'd hate the bottleneck to disappear and then it arrives whilst i am away

am very excited though

 

I'll take delivery


You wont get it back though

 

there's a great surprise !

 

You should get an email letting you know when they have dispatched it. Wait for that and get someone to receive it while you are away?

I get all my deliveries sent to work. People there 24/7

 

my main pc broke last night lol. absolutely no response from the power button!

good job i am fastidious about backing up, although i bet it's the mobo and not the drives.

might pop over to the apple store today

 

oops, accidentally ordered a...

 

Offer still stands I don't mind taking delivery

 

delivery tomorrow

I may retain your services for future deliveries Ant

 

must do some high end stuff to need one of those beasts !!

 

Pretty much interweb browsing

Well, I have 8 1tb drives needing a home, so I thought I'd bung in a raid card for some proper raid5.

I ordered the 8 core west mere, but I think I can upgrade to 12 core - just thinking ahead !

At least with a mac pro, if a drive blows, it'll just cost a replacement drive... Or indeed the monitor.

I guess some of me still thinks pc.

 

browsing on a monster like that

As the mac pro only has 4 bays and one is taken up, you might be better whacking those spare 1TB drives into something like a Drobo or NAS box.

 

I shall be using premiere and photoshop cs5.

"out for delivery" oooo

 

if anyone is interested, my 64bit Geekbench score is 14500.

Nice
