When I ordered my Dell laptop, it took around 2 weeks to arrive.  It
was also assembled in China.  The 4 weeks is more likely an
over-estimate than a precise estimate.  Because whatever time frame
they give you, from the day after that time frame, you'll be calling
them on a daily basis.  :-)

GIven all this, I guess 4 weeks makes sense.

And yes, that Dell I mentioned was put together after I placed my
order.  Dell (at the time, and yes, this was in Japan) didn't have a
fixed store.  I guess they still don't in Japan?

Perhaps if you bought it from an Apple Store, they might have the
product inside their shop??  I'm not sure.  I don't shop at the Apple
Store.  :-P
