FYI folks - if, like me, you do not plan on ordering a custom configuration, Apple has abundant in-store stock today. I missed the boat on orders shipping within a month and was planning to take a more wait and see approach. But, seeing this morning that I could order a mid tier 16" M1P model and have it delivered in 2 hours for $9 pushed me over the edge.
As a side note: What are others doing about their current machines? Ordinarily I don't take the trade in value; but Apple is offering $1200 for my 2019 16" model and looking around at what prices people are actually getting on eBay (seems to be ~$1300ish), the Apple trade offer seems remarkably competitive considering its a lot less to fuss with. I guess M1 being so much faster than Intel is really impacting the used market, which seems normally stronger?
