I was going to order a 16-inch base config, but decided against it. I just ordered a pair of AirPods Gen 3, as my original order isn't arriving until Oct 29 - Nov 1.

Apple logistics never ceases to amaze me. What a wonderful experience - no site issues, no crashes, nothing. Tim Apple is a genius.

Happy MacBook Pro + AirPods Gen 3 + HomePod Mini release day everyone!

I can't order with apple card financing without cancelling my online order - does anyone know if funds free up immediately when you cancel online orders with the apple card? Might have to use another card.
 
Ordered for pickup today – whew, that was intense. When I snagged my APM on launch day, it showed available for pickup at about 7:00 central time, so although I woke up extra early this morning just in case it was sooner, my problem was that I had to leave for work at 7:00, and it would be too tight to go through the ordering process and still leave the house on time. So, instead I left the house a half hour early and brought my computer with me. Stopped off at a coffee shop when 7:00 neared, ordered, and now I'm continuing to work.

Originally was going to order a base 14" but decided to go on step up to 10/16/1TB. Will be ready for pick up at 10:15am for me.

I did just this. Ordered for pick-up today, and before choosing the payment, cancelled my pre-order. As far as I can tell that cleared the Apple Card enough for the pick-up order to go through.

I just canceled mine there is still a hold on my Apple Card.
 
So looks like all the base models plus the following BTO are available:

14: M1 Max/64GB/2TB
16: M1 Max/64GB/4TB

In both colors! I was hoping they would have the truly "ultimate" models on hand, but I guess its a bit of a niche product for those who want >4TB of storage...
 
Wow… lots of configurations unavailable. The only way to get the M1 Max chip is to buy the 16-inch… stuck with 1TB/32GB at least in my large surrounding area.

No configs of the 14-inch with the Max chip, only the base configs.
*WHEW!*

I spoke a little too soon. Play with the configs a bunch, guys.

I snagged a 14-inch M1 Max with 64GB memory and 2TB, pretty much exactly what I wanted with extra memory to brag about. I just feel lucky enough to get that close.

Oh… and 2 polishing cloths!! I feel like I hit the lottery for pick up today!
 
My store opened for pick up tomorrow. It only had the standard configs available. So I ordered a 14 and a 16 mid-tier. Gotta check the weight in the store today. Is 16gb of ram enough for logic pro?

Cancelled online orders do NOT clear immediately. Took mine about a day to clear.
 
As expected, literally tons available lmao my store which isn’t even that big, has every model still

Just have enough Credit to pay tax, and it’ll go through. Just canceled 2 mins ago and reorder
 
I woke up at 4:50am Pacific, and immediately looked at the Apple Store app, not expecting anything yet. But lo and behold, they were in stock! I ordered exactly what I wanted for pickup in the Bay Area in California: 16" M1 Max with 32GB RAM, 1TB Storage, Space Gray. Today it will be mine!

Note, I couldn't order with financing, it would tell me "at least one item in your bag can't be bought with store pickup" or some such. I had to pay in full.
