Not in Aus - pickup today, or delivered tomorrow.

Add USA in title? I'm in HKG and MBPs are still available with next day shipping.

There is supposed to be some event "creators" were invited to from Jan 27-29 [1]. I have yet to hear anything about it.

I'm getting a pickup today OR Feb 10th delivery date.

Doesn’t this typically happen right before a new model refresh.

Have to imagine M5 Pro/Max is soon to be launched.

Note: this is for the M4 Max.

Either M5 Pro chips are finally here... or March is just the next time Apple can source any DRAM or SSD chips for the existing line!

In all seriousness, I am quite concerned for what the base model and upgrade pricing is going to be for the full M5 line, given the recent AI-driven DRAM supply apocalypse.

No, only certain less popular configurations are backlogged. Pretty normal for that to happen.

Here's a link to a base model Macbook Pro 16" - ready to ship immediately.

I hope this isn’t due to memory supply issues, bad omen if it is.

M5 Pro and Max tmr.
