It's probably not now. If it had lifted, Youtube would already be flooded with them as the creators upload it in advance and then schedule it to go live at the time. The leakers (Prosser aka tosser) got it wrong.
So my BTO:
- M1 Max, 32 core GPU, 64GB ram, 2TB, 16"
-11th-18th November
It's still showing for me as 'processing', but the person who orders them for us at work says it's showing for her as 'Sent to Manufacturing' ?
A colleague ordered one the same spec but 14" the following day. His is still just 'Processing Order' on her system.
Interesting that business portal logins seem to get more info. I've got a 'guest' link that lets me see the order status in the same way as the screenshots everyone is posting here.

What are you going to be doing with it? I develop pretty graphically intense iPad apps and it's only when debugging with a bunch of extra tools open, Slack and so on that I start hitting the limit under 16GB.
Apple Silicon machines definitely get by with less RAM for the same tasks vs. Intel
Just went past my local apple store in Bromley and asked if they’re getting any in. The chap said yes but he doesn’t know what they’ll have. Said reserve and collect tomorrow morning is the best option.
I have one question and I know not really the thread but I bet others in here are interested. Do we think the 67w charger is the minimum that will charge the 14", I have a RavPower 65w charger and wonder if this will still work. Then I can keep MagSafe in my office and RavPower in the lounge.....!!!

I'm also a software dev, potentially with docker instances and other VMs (albeit pretty rarely)... But my theory was I'll upgrade in 3 years when Apple Care runs out anyway, and disk should be fast enough that if Docker does lead to some swap, it's probably okay...
Had a pending charge but that’s fallen off, and no proper charge yet.
My order has been shipped! Bumped from 4th-8th November to the 1st! Let’s go ?
The reviews just made me more excited if anything. Lots of praise heaped on all the right things that matter to me.
Judge arched iJustine video…. I know….
However they’re editing 8K footage on the base model 14” I don’t understand that scene too much however they were very, very impressed….
These things are beasts.
May just go for the 1TB 14” 10 core now and not worry about the 16gb ram

The review I want to see first is anandtech!
My orders tracking on apple now reflecting my BTO status with UPS
Some updates from Shanghai too. Need to see if any ups planes have left there recently!

The reviews make me laugh. The people that get them in advance are YouTubers, who need powerful machines to make videos showing off new laptops on YouTube in ever-increasing fancy resolution.
Would love to see some reviewers talking about other performance, like number crunching tasks, data analysis, software development, etc.
