It’s just the chip shortage is what’s scaring me. Apple doesn’t have a lot of control over that. So I’m not sure how the supply is going to look like? Is it going to get delayed till January? It’s unknown.
They were able to get all those millions of A15s, no? MacBooks will sell on a much smaller scale than the iPhones. Apple has demonstrated they get TSMC’s priority and thus haven’t been that affected by the chip shortage.

That’s a good point. I really hope over the weekend someone really leaks if Apple will launch the pre-order for 💻 right away or wait till next Friday.

After some very quick surfing of the Apple Store in Aus, it looks like both the Apple Watch and iPhone have shipping delays from one week, to 5 weeks. That suggests Apple is not keeping up with demand.

That said, in early August I purchased a Dell Inspiron 16+ for work. It took two full months to get to me, and arrived with a faulty screen (A full column of dead pixels, right in the middle of the screen, not something anyone would be willing to live with). I'm having the computer replaced, and the new one currently has an expected arrival date of late November. Poor quality control, probably because they can't keep up with demand. Leads to longer delays.

Luckily Apple's shipping delays aren't anywhere near 3.5 months yet.
 
Make sure you’re logged into the apple store website before it goes down on Monday. 😁

Make sure it remembers your password, so you don’t have to sign in again once the store is back up. 🥳🎉
I actually created a script that looks up the base model of the small MBP and orders it for me. Iwill start it when the shop goes down so it can order as soon as it comes out. The sad part is that I had to test it. Sitting on a pile of Intel MBPs now. Anybody want one?

I plan on eating them all before Apple gets its hands on them.

I'm Still on the fence about getting one, thanks for the offer.

Oh,no… now I really wanna grab a bite… I am sooo hungry…

I guess to be safe I should check my bank account and prepare everything so I am all set just in case preorders open Monday or anytime unexpected… better be safe I guess…
But I hope they don’t open preorders till Friday or at least Tuesday so everyone can have a look at the macs and decide what to order… (though I actually need a new MacBook asap because the battery of my old one is probably swollen and I am a little scared to continue to use it… but I need a laptop…)
 
Dude, there are no if’s and buts or being on the fence. 120hz is being introduce its a must have 💻. Get ready to order that base model!!!
If it has a notch and no Face ID like the latest rumours are suggesting, then I'm definitely out. 🤦‍♂️

Don’t come over here with that. It’s a very sketchy rumor. You’ll upgrade for sure. Im
Convinced. You only have this weekend to decide what your going to do with your M1 💻
 
notch or no notch as long as the butterfly keyboard is not coming back, I will be interested.

If it has butterfly keyboard then NO WAY.
