Guys:

Did you guys get any deals for buying an IPOD with your laptops by chance?

I'm looking for a 10GB 3rd generation Ipod for a nice price.

Thanks guys!

You have to buy the pod when you order the laptop, unfortunately. Otherwise i'd help you get the $200 off.

Scrib, how long did it take them to ship your laptop out? I paid for overnight shipping, but am wondering how long it'll be until they actually ship it.

The 12" AlBooks aren't shipping yet. Mine is supposed to ship on 9/26, so we'll see.

People who have ordered the 15" AlBooks have been getting them pretty quick.

Did you do anything special to your order?

Thank you for the gesture.

Now, I know not many people order Macs, but if someone does, can you please PM or e-mail me and maybe we can workout some sort of deal for the iPod?

Thanks!

It was the basic 1.25 - nothing changed. So i figure it'll be exactly what is on the shelf in the warehouse, which is good.

I ordered through the computer store on campus (same prices as online, and it avoids some hassles for me), so i can't check the order status online THey claimed i could get overnight shipping for $20 although the apple site shows 2-3 days for $12 for me- must be a reseller option or something.

I placed the order late - about 6:00 PM EST on Friday. It probably didn't get processed until Monday, and was shipped today if i'm lucky. :x:

I really like the idea of the nylon sleeve case, that'll be great for carrying just the laptop around if i want to. I just need to find a decent backpack now, my current one is too small to hold both a powerbook and my books.

Suggestions?

I've heard good things about the backpacks from sfbags.com

Stock 15" orders are shipping either the same day or the day after. You should be seeing it VERY soon!

Hopefully tomorrow

SFbags only has the "messenger" type. I'm interested in a double-strap backpack. Targus has one i'd really like, but it's $80. $40 + $80 = too much for my blood.
