Wow, my local Apple Store hasn't had stock on MacBook Neo for 4 days now, regardless of configuration/color. Finally relented and ordered online with delivery by April 21.
 
Was the same at all of my local stores for the last couple of weeks. Then suddenly one night both citrus configurations were in stock. I was looking for silver so I chose to forgo the purchase. The next night silver 512GB/Touch ID showed same day in store pickup. I quickly added it to the cart and checked out. Immediately after this stock went out to mid April availability, so I am assuming I got a single unit that was available, maybe someone cancelled? Anyway the moral of the story is to check multiple times daily, stock levels are always being updated.

BH Photo had the Citrus and Blush 512 in stock on Friday. But they close for Passover on Wednesday so hurry up and order if you want one.
 
I picked up my 512GB Neo at Best Buy the other day and they had several of the silver in stock
Because if it ain't yellow, pink or blue most people don't want it lol.

The silver is super clean, but aesthetically speaking it looks exactly like any other MacBook.
 
Similar to iPhone launches "add to cart" and check in store pickup a few times each day, most likely it will pop up available and you can cancel your delivery order.

I know may vary greatly based on your location however example below of Citrus 512GB at a many Apple Stores throughout southern CA today (Monday 3/30)

I've been watching the store for a few days here in Toronto, and everything from here to Ottawa and beyond was out of stock. Checked Best Buy, and it was the same.
Today, a handful of blush-colored Neos popped up at Best Buy. All other colors aren't available. I went and snagged one. They're $799 CAD here for basic configuration, but it's still a great price for a laptop.
By the end of the day, the stock was dwindling. There are still a few floating around for when stores open on Saturday, but I imagine they'll sell quickly.
 
The options for what's currently in stock at my Apple Store has increased but what's not in stock is almost a month out.
  • 256 / 512 Silver 26 days out
  • 256 / 512 Blush in stock
  • 256 Citrus 26 days out
  • 512 Citrus in stock
  • 256 / 512 Indigo in stock

Apple store had one in stock so I picked it up and cancelled my online order which was backordered for over a month!
That's the best way to handle high demand items and has worked for me with many iPhone release days.

Keep online order active and refresh in store availability a few times each day, no guarantee but a lot of times something will pop up.
 
I just picked up a MacBook Neo from the Manhattan Village Apple Store. 256gb in blush. All the 512gb version regardless of color EXCEPT citrus is out of stock. Contemplated getting the citrus one for the 512gb but I knew I would not be happy with the color.
 
Yesterday, I noticed stock at my local store. Today, none. So I ordered for May 21. This afternoon checked again and now I can order for pick up tomorrow, so cancelled the May 21 order.
I'm guessing stock is dribbling in - just keep checking.
I am going for the Education discount as I work for a grade school.
