BTallack Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 2 days? Damn. I payed for expedited shipping for my Powerbook and it still took 2 weeks. Bear in mind that that letter is a notice of processing, not shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 i dont think it matters, if it takes 2 weeks you have something to look forward for, i love getting stuff like this in the mail, sometimes big stuff like this onlyt happens once, so you should appreciate the anticipation, and you will be that much happier when it comes. :) Nice purchase, i love hte ibooks, but i need screen space, 15.4 powerbook would be my choice. But awesome system never the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iguana Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 2 days? Damn. I payed for expedited shipping for my Powerbook and it still took 2 weeks. Bear in mind that that letter is a notice of processing, not shipping. Yep, Apple's offering free 2 Day shipping until midnight tonight (Dec. 27). I realize that the email is not shipping confirmation, but after they ship, it should be here in two days. *crosses fingers* Nice purchase, i love hte ibooks, but i need screen space, 15.4 powerbook would be my choice. But awesome system never the less. The 15" PowerBook is just way too expensive for me right now. That was my first Mac, however. A 15" from eBay, which broke a week ago. So, instead of getting the 15" PowerBook, I maxed out the 14" iBook. Not bad, I would say, especially with the student discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTallack Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Yeah, it only took 2 business days (it was over a weekend) to get it to me once it shipped, but it took them a week and a half to ship it from Taiwan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolage Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Yea the transit time that is reported is only in the US. It does take some time to actually ship from Taiwan and to get to the US. Congrats on the new iBook. I had the older G3's and it worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachman123 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've been looking at iBooks... They're too expensive for me tho. Just wondering, I've never owned a new generation mac, is for example a 933G4 equal to a 933mhz Pentium, or do the PowerPC chips run faster/slower... Gotta love Mac OSX tho! Happy Macing (Maccing?, Macing has to do with Mace...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolage Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I have heard that the powermac chips generally run faster, but I am not sure on a straight comparison to what a 933G4 would come out to in pentium terms. It is hard to compare since you cannot run the same os directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ship it from Taiwan to the US first?? I thought it came straight from California... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTallack Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 It only took 2 days from Taiwan to my door. It just took a week and a half before it even left Taiwan. Yours will likely come from Taiwan as well, as opposed to the California plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFNE Freak Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 They ship it from Taiwan to the US first?? I thought it came straight from California... :unsure: What'd you expect man? You ordered a BTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguana Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 What'd you expect man? You ordered a BTO. Yeah, I was thinking they would build it at the CA plant, and then ship it here; I had no idea it will come from Taiwan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted December 28, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 28, 2003 The bottom of my iBook says Assembled in Taiwan. Since you've got a BTO system, it's gotta ship from the assembly plant since they don't have them sitting around in Apple's warehouse. Unfortunately, that assembly plant will be in Taiwan, so you will have to wait. It would be the same way if you BTO with any other company during this season. There's a LOT of backup...
