Apple does not want us to wait a second and the arrival of the M1 processors in the new equipment does not prevent the launch from being imminent, so They opened reservations today for these new teams. Users looking to switch Macs can buy the new 13-inch MacBook Air, Mac mini and MacBook Pro with the new processors right now.
The reservation of these Macs makes their arrival for next week so everyone who buys their Mac right now will have to wait a week until they get home. For now the reserves of the Mac is being quite staggered and there seems to be enough stock, but it is a matter of minutes that you do not receive your equipment on Tuesday 17th so if you are thinking of buying one of these equipment do not take too long or you may have to wait longer.
For custom Macs, That is, for Macs to which the user adds more RAM, a larger capacity disk, etc., the shipping date is a little longer and in most cases it places them between November 24 and 26 if It is true that this date varies depending on the equipment and the changes made. We can say that this is common in the purchase of Macs and is that when the user customizes the equipment it has to leave the factory as is and this causes the shipping times to lengthen.
Being able to buy the new Macs presented by Apple today makes the demand increase although it is true that for the moment and as we say all of them indicate a shipment for next Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
