Want a Mac under the Christmas tree this year? Better order now

Online shoppers placing orders for the new Retina iMac on Apple's digital store are seeing notifications of "unexpected delays" as we make our way closer to the biggest gift-giving day of the year. MacNN is reporting that delays of up to two weeks are pushing orders originally slated for November deliveries back into December, with no specific reason offered for the delays.

So if you were planning on gifting a new Mac to a loved one this year -- or maybe even picking one up as a present for yourself -- you should probably fill that virtual shipping cart soon, or you'll risk some serious disappointment.
