Report: Apple Delays Shipping 17-inch MacBook Pro

Apple has delayed shipment of some of its new unibody MacBooks by up to a more than a month after originally promised, according to a report Friday.

In one case, a 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro ordered earlier this week won’t ship from its Chinese plant until February 26th and may not reach the buyer until early March, a reader told Apple Insider.

In another instance, Apple has automatically upgraded shipping to overnight for MacBook buyers.

Apple has not commented on the reason for the seeming delays.

When first announced by Apple at MacWorld, the laptop computer was slated to ship by late January.
