Mostly JIT but I would not be surprised that if they have enough orders for a full day/shift of production that they would run that day/shift building one configuration. Efficient and eliminates the chance of a line worker putting in an incorrect component because they would only be putting in the same component on every machine all day.
They just had a filter turned on for Canada orders only. I set it back to All and everything is good.
What I find interesting is he is using cheap USB-C to USB adapters. And there are well documented cases of inferior devices being for sale on Amazon that can actually damage your device. So maybe he should buy some good quality devices instead of the cheap stuff.

Apple seems to be estimating colour demand at 10:1 in favour of space grey based on cursory surveys of Apple Store stock and third party retailer stock of the non-Touch Bar model I was sad enough to undertake!Oh, this is pretty cool, just entered mine
EDIT: holy crap Space Grey is popular!
So finally got my order through for a 15 inch mbp. Cost me about $2900 and I feel kinda disgusted with myself for paying that much. The last laptop i bought a 13 inch mbp in 2010 and that was about $1200. Im gonna use this for as long as possible
Cheap crappy USB-C adapter.. If he bought a proper USB-C to HDMI adapter, it would work just fine.
The metal casing of the adapter is probably shorting on the metal case of the MacBook pro....

Yeah I guess I didn't think about that. I should have went silver
Why are you posting this in this particular thread?
Can someone summarize what the issues are? Not going to watch a 1h video...
I ordered a Space Gray 15" MBPro few hours after the key note (2.7 Ghz/512 GB/4GB VRAM). After a lot of people mentioned on this thread about scratches being more visible on the Space Gray than the Silver color, I went into the nearest Apple Store to check this in person and did not find this to be true. Attached are a few photos.
I also was not sure about my feelings about the Butterfly keyboard, but it only took me a few minutes to get used to it. I even did a one minute typing test with 75 words and 0 errors. The part I missed the most is the MagSafe adaptor.
By the way, I asked a Mac Genius if I could take photos before I took them and she was kind enough to turn a blind eye. If you zoom in closely, you will see that I was checking out this wonderful Mac Rumors thread.

The guy doing it is an arrogant SOB and is just having fun bashing Apple. At least that is what I saw in the 10 minutes I could stomach.

Yeah that doesn't look much different from my silver rMBP. I mean, there are smudges all over my iPad and iPhone too...smudges are just a part of tech
Interesting reading through this thread. Someone around page 30 mentioned he had ordered the $4299 full boat configuration, and was congratulated for being the first. I had said the same thing on page 12. No matter, I doubt I was the first.
My philosophy is this: nobody has ever complained that their computer was too fast, had too much memory, or had too much storage. The opposite is often true.
I keep my computers (and my cars) longer than most folks, so I buy maxed-out configurations up front to get the longest useful life out of them.
