A significant number of users have turned to Twitter and other social networks to voice their frustration that Retina MacBook in-store stock and display models at many Apple Stores in the United States and other launch countries are nowhere to be found. MacRumors has independently confirmed that the Retina MacBook will be limited to online purchases in many locations around the world at launch.

Retina MacBook shipping times also slipped especially quick out of the gate, with custom configured models available to ship in 3-4 weeks from the moment orders became available, and gold stock models following shortly thereafter. Apple's new 12-inch MacBook starts at $1,299 and features an ultra-thin design, one USB-C port, redesigned keyboard with an all-new butterfly mechanism, Force Touch trackpad, fanless architecture and all-day battery life.

What's the point of building hundreds of Apple Stores if you can't actually buy anything in them?!
Wow disappointing, while I'm not a fan of the product, I did want to check it out.
The product has no fans.
:D
Saying "available on 4/10/15" leads many (most) people to think you can actually get one, not just preorder.
To me, Apple was not clear on this or the Apple Watch's availability.
That means the 4th October to the rest of the world, I do hope they are available by then. ;)Saying "available on 4/10/15" leads many (most) people to think you can actually get one, not just preorder.
