The MacBook arrived by DHL Express late yesterday afternoon. I’d placed the order on late Thurs night, and the unit had taken a day to bounce from Apple’s warehouse to DHL’s one, and then finally arriving at the latter’s delivery center at a stroke past Friday midnight.
The sales order from Apple’s web site suggested that delivery would be on Monday, but I decided to try my luck by calling DHL directly and seeing if they would deliver on Saturday. Nicely, they consented, and the notebook with the iWorks – Apple’s software for Office productivity – arrived just after 6 pm.
You have to give it to the Cupertino folks: their products exude style, right even in packaging. Packaging contents were pretty minimalist – quite unlikely unboxing a Wintel notebook where it’s always crammed with CDs, manuals, flyers, promotional coupons, modem cables, demo ware etc.
More to come – soon.:)
