Mac Pro Release...Delayed? (MacMall)

Something new has appeared on the MacMall site over the weekend. Last week I almost posted that the "Reserve Your Mac Pro Now" button midway down on the left on MacMall's site led to a "This Page Is No Longer Active" notice. Not surprising since the release is imminent. www.macmall.com/n/Mac-Pro/macNavLinks-macNavLinks.225
Today, however, this link displays a hugh new ad that offers up to $1,000 for your 2010 Mac Pro when it arrives Next Month! Since this just popped up over the weekend, does this mean the Mac Pro will now arrive in January??

Hmmmm.....so "Coming in December" may mean "Pre-order in December"???

Or that's when MacMall anticipates receiving its allocation. I'm sure Apple will prioritize its own retail and online delivery chain.

Nothing new from Apple about delay. So it will be in december store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/mac-pro

It may have been posted on November 30th (Saturday) and thus next month refers to December and they haven't updated the ad to reflect the correct month.

I think retailers are trying to serve their customers without a firm ship date from Apple.

While I'd love to see the MacPro and 10.1 arrive next week, I think we should be prepared to wait until the week of the 16th.

I think this has everything to do with component supply from Intel, AMD, etc.. Apple doesn't want to launch with no stock and immediate shipping slips to 30days on BTO options.

That's my take- the natives are getting restless.

LOL...that's for sure!

It wouldn't surprise me if initial supplies were constrained. I'd be delighted if when it launches I could go down to the Apple store and pick one up. Especially here in Oz.

I remember when the G5 launched and you could go down to the store to LOOK at one. (It was behind glass like a precious jewel) I just hope I can get one before January is at a close.

I have a business account with my local Apple retail store, and they're prioritizing Mac Pros to us. They've already surveyed us to see what type of configurations we're looking for. They know me well, that I'm a cert'd trainer, etc, etc, etc, and from what they have been told by the Mother Ship, it will ship this month. If there is a delay, no one (not even Apple personnel) will know until the last minute.

Check out what you can sell a 2010 Mac Pro for on eBay. A lot more than $1K.
