Checked one of my local stores. (Metrocentre, Gateshead) and no demo units. Guy on the phone suggested we shouldn't expect them anytime soon in the UK (demo units that is, I didn't ask about stock if they don't even have demo units)
Got a tip for us?

I phoned them up yesterday and the guy on the phone said he thought they might be in in a couple of days. I guess what this shows is nobody really knows!
Hi
Just been in regent street store. No demo. No stock. No idea when they are coming.

**** sake didn't she work for friggin' Burberry?! that apparently didn't help London get any stock on the first day which is really shocking what the hell?!
Yeah I'm quite disappointed.
This is meant to be a product launch and you can't even try one out before ordering. Ball = dropped.

While ppl across the pond are getting shipping confirmations, ppl in Europe don't know when it will be released which is really shocking even launching products like iPhone 4 didn't have this level awfulness.
I think need to send a confirmation to the press when they will be released in Europe and apologize for this inconvenience.

Just a botched launch, even Apple`s own staff don't know what`s going on, totally unprofessional.
All signs of not understanding customer demand and mismanagement of inventory and or sales marketing at it`s lowest. All Apple needed to do after the "big reveal" was list in store dates by country instead of this current debacle which has left many customers confused & disappointed...
if Apple didn't themselves make such a big deal of these things, less of us would care. They build all this hype, all for nothing. Equally as some other members have posted deliberately creating the impression of a shortage is a sales technique (although in my mind underhanded) which often results in customers "pulling the trigger" equally it would serves Apple well to move as many Broadwell Macbook`s with Skylake in the near future, which is a point worth considering...
Q-6
- No display models in the vast majority of stores
- No stock, and none coming soon to bricks & mortar stores
- No preorder advisment
- Instructing staff to push online sales, on a product you can't even see
- Extending global shipping dates 3 days - 6 weeks
- It`s a Mac, not an IOS device vast majority of Apple`s customers have no interest
- New Mac`s have never brought long lines to the stores
