Apple today activated its in-store reserve and pickup system for the new 16-inch MacBook Pro in the United States.

This system enables customers to purchase the 16-inch MacBook Pro on Apple.com in advance and select a 30-minute window to pick it up at an Apple Store. The tool can also be used to monitor inventory of the 16-inch MacBook Pro at Apple Stores based on city or ZIP code, with stock available at many locations today.

To check if Apple Stores in your area have stock, head to the 16-inch MacBook Pro page on Apple's website, choose your desired configuration, select "check availability," and enter your city or ZIP code. Note that many custom configurations with upgraded RAM, storage, or graphics are not immediately available for pickup.

If the 16-inch MacBook Pro model that you want is available at your Apple Store today, proceed with ordering and choose the "I'll pick it up" option during the checkout process. You can also choose to have someone else pick up the order.

When you get to the Apple Store, let an employee know you have an order to pick up. Make sure to have a valid government-issued photo ID and your order number on hand. Apple also sometimes provides a QR code that can be added to the Wallet app for convenience and quicker check-in, but this is optional.

Apple may also have 16-inch MacBook Pro stock available for walk-in customers at select stores, but inventory will likely be limited.

For customers who ordered online, 16-inch MacBook Pro deliveries begin today.

In addition to a larger display, the 16-inch MacBook Pro features a new Magic Keyboard with a scissor mechanism and physical Esc key, up to 64GB of RAM, up to 8TB of SSD storage, AMD Radeon Pro 5000M graphics options, upgraded speakers and microphones, and more. Pricing starts at $2,399.

I know they can't have every configuration in store, but they used to have maxed out versions available. Not anymore :(
 
December 4th pickup in store for nearly all of the configs I'm looking at. Faster to ship with November 27-December 2 estimated delivery.

Do they have them on display? I’d like to try out the keyboard before I pull the trigger.
This was my exact same thought. I remember seeing the 2016 for the first time... tapping on the new revolutionary keyboard... and then waiting 3 years to get the last model for my eldest.

So, the clock is now ticking on me buying this new generation... so 2022 October ish.

I think they will. Curious to see if 1mm of travel is the same as a 2015 MBP.
 
My local store in the UK has just received their first shipment in but were still setting them up for display.
 
Looks like they will have 3 stock configs, 2 base models + 1 high-end config:
2.4GHz 8‑core, 32GB, AMD 5500M 8GB, 2TB SSD (not in stores until the 27th)

The Leeds UK store has some good configs, i9's, 2TB SSD, 32GB RAM. Sadly no 64GB or Silver in stock. Wasn't any on display yet.
 
Now in stock at our local Best Buy today also, at a $100 discount on the $2799 model ($2699). Surely better discounts coming this month and next. 18 month interest-free financing (or $160 back in rewards as an Elite Plus member), also. ;)

On the German Apple site they list it as the 16" MBP. Shouldn't they use metric and call it the 41cm MBP?

I agree that that is the way it should be, but measuring screen sizes in inches has been customary in Europe for many years now, at least when it comes to rough estimates and model names. In the detailed specs you will find the exact size in centimetres.
