Apple delays shipment of new unibody 17-inch MacBook Pro

“First Apple bumped the new unibody 17-inch MacBook Pros past the original self-imposed ‘end of January’ deadline. Then they were set to ship soon…ish. Now, just a few days into February, Ars readers are telling us that orders for even stock models are getting delayed further into the month,” David Chartier reports for Ars Technica.

Apple has recently been emailing customers “with the message ‘Wrapping up the new 17-inch MacBook Pro is taking a few days longer than we projected. As a result, we will be unable to ship your 17-inch MacBook Pro until February 19, 2009,'” Chartier reports.

“Apple’s online store now also says ‘3-4 weeks,’ which would cause orders placed today not to ship until March,” Chartier reports.
