Actually, don't. I might go all rage-ban on you. Jealousy does funny things to a person...

J/K. Maybe.

Ground floor of smuggery thread.

Here I will smug about my shiny new i7 quad-core and SSD drive. Which doesn't hold a candle to the 16-core box with 48 GB of RAM, but hey, this one's portable.

Am I doing it right? :3

Seriously though, congrats. I think you're the first person to win anything from a MacHeist promo that actually posted something about it.

So I have doubts if you'll hear from any of the other winners, unfortunately. Not to dash your hopes.

About an hour after confirming my details I got a reply reconfirming, so if you haven't already you should probably check that out. Haven't heard anything since though, only that it'll be coming in 4-6 weeks. I'm assuming they're being painted at the moment smile !

15-inch? That's what I'm leaning towards. I wanted an iMac but the portability still factors in for me.

Damn my Typo's.

They did get back to me. Apparently they kept getting bounces sending to my gmail account for some reason. so they emailed me from an alternate email address and it got through.

Glas that I am not the only winner that is on the forums.

Good point. Surely it doesn't take *that* long to paint and ship though.  Even worse is that I'm in Australia so I'll probably have longer to wait!

Hey guys, I'm waiting for them to arrive at my place to ship them out to you guys. Experienced a bit of a delay as Colorware were completely out of 32gb iPads. So after we got sick of waiting we just upgraded them to 64's.

I think you will be ok. Since they are already being printed i doubt they will update the firmware on them considering that it has not come out yet. Though i would like to know an update too. So Excited!
