- It averages about two weeks from the Computer store here on campus.
- But it all depends on what type of computer you want. Usually, they don't
- stock many computers, but instead wait for an order before submitting it.
- Even then, the wait is highly variable. I know people who waited 2 months
- for a Mac Classic, but then again, this was about a month after the computers
- were available for purchase. If the model youy want is in high demand, then
- it will take more time. At least here, they will notify you of how long
- a wait is, call you when it is in, and if the price drops while on order,
- they'll charge you the lower price.
-
- Your milage may vary.
