Order is still in 'processing' status for 2 weeks. Macbook pro M5 Max with 128GB ram,2TB

[ewu]

specs are Macbook pro M5 Max with 128GB unified ram,2TB

orginally I imagine that new MBP will arrived in 2 weeks.

but for 2 weeks, Order still in 'processing' status.

it shows that I still have to wait for 2 weeks or may be more.

Originally “you imagined” or the website said it would be two weeks? The website shows you an expected delivery date range when you place the order. It’s not set in stone, certainly, but it’s usually pretty close to what ends up happening.

Order will show expected delivery, which you’ve said is about 2 weeks away yet. Not sure where you’re getting “maybe more;” I haven’t seen that on an order status from Apple 😉 but I wouldn’t expect the status to change until a few days ahead of delivery.

BTO orders [especially those pre-orders/orders after a recent launch] have a 3-6 week wait. I put mine in on march 10th. Same BTO [16-SBnano-128-2TB]. Still in process. I'm not expecting mine until second week of April [maybe later]

My guess is just translation issues with semantics nuances. I suspect the person is referencing whatever estimated range was written on order date and is trying to communicate their own inference with seeing "in processing" for so long, it could be quite longer. Then again, im making an assumption English isnt their first language and also judging by the markdown spacing.

Today it updates to `Preparing to Ship` and deduct money from bank account.

hope I could get it at the end of 3rd week after order.

I guess different for the pro max? I did a BTO m5 air and it was shipped out days later and here in less than two weeks

What I’ve observed is that for 64GB of RAM or more it’s BTO and hence take a while longer. They might have issues with the production of those ‘special’ chips.

Get MBP today, totally 2.5 weeks

most of time are in 'processing' status.

I do some testing quickly, overall it is quiet, cooling MBP. And I like it.
Disk speed is 12000MB/s.

Mine is stuck in Leipzig 🙁. Same spec. It took a while to build, was in processing for about the same time as you. Finally shipped on Thursday but looks like the weekend shift at DHL aren't as quick as the weekday one and now it appears to have gone missing.

Looking forward to mine, got several projects I'm working on that need the power.

What is your workload comprised of?

I saw a video claiming that there is/was a reasonably high "failure" rate with the thermal paste/heat sinks for the Max chips too. Reviewer claimed anecdotal evidence of 2 in 7 having poor thermals leading to significantly worse performance under load (which is what the Max chips are actually intended for). I will certainly be running benchmarks on mine when I get it to make sure I don't have problems. I will be building my own deep learning pipelines and will want to rule out problems with the machine before I spend to long optimising my (likely also dodgy) code.
