Quick question - Apple delivery times

[chex]

How long does it usually take to get a macbook once you order it online?

I only ask 'coz I'm leaving the country on the 8th of June...



EDIT : Rather than start another 'what should I do' thread, I though I'd ask the question here:

I have 12" powerbook 1.5 GHz, but my mom needs a computer that will run windows. I was putting off buying an intel mac until the new ultraportable came out.

Question is, will the macbook hold its value as well as the powerbook until december or so when I can sell it and buy the ultraportable (if it happens)? This is the mid range macbook.

Or should I just install Virtual PC on my powerbook...

tbh the only reason I can think of for not buying the macbook is that it is heavier, bigger and a lot uglier than the powerbook.

depends if you BTO'd your macbook.

no, I'll buy it at stock specs.

Rough guess either 3-5 days to 5-7 days.

Should check the Apple site really, will be somewhere.

Apple stuff holds its value pretty well, but the Powerbook is probably more desirable.

Or should I just install VMWare on my powerbook...

Will that even run iirc needs an x86 compatible cpu.
