New MacBook Air Ordered

Yesterday I put in my order for a new MacBook Air. It will replace my current Air.. that's 6½ years old!

I've been planning to buy this computer for 6 weeks now, since it was announced in early June. First I waited for Apple to start taking orders. That started two weeks ago. Then I waited to get a new credit card. (The point of that was for the purchase cost to go a long way toward meeting the spending requirement for the new card's signup bonus.) Finally the credit card arrived this weekend, and I placed my order.

Apple says delivery will be Aug 10 - Aug 17. It's understandable that they're backlogged ~3 weeks right after launch. We'll see if that date slips.
