I just had a thought here about something kind of scary.
I was looking to maybe buy a new Mac Mini i5/512/16 on Apple's website. I noticed if I just get the i5/512/8 I would have it by mid next week. I guess they have them in stock in some warehouse in the US.
Now when I check for the i5/512/16, it says quickest would be 4/7 to 4/9.
Does that mean it would be custom built in China and then shipped directly from China to me? That would explain the delay, and also I always thought Apple does that sort of thing with custom builds.
So with all the Covid-19 stuff going on, I don't think I like the idea of buying something that would be built next week in China and then mailed internationally to me. That's kind of scary to think about right now getting something directly from China with the current circumstances. I am worried there could be some contamination either on the machine itself or the packaging.
I think this is a valid concern, so please no flaming.
