Just wondering if anyone in the UK has had any luck with getting hold of a custom spec MBP M1 in the UK? I thought I saw a collection option earlier for a 16b/1tb model I had in my basket, but then it disappeared and only gave me mid-Dec for delivery. Wondering if they are getting limited stock of these for stores or if it was an error.
Got a tip for us?

Yes - 16GB/1TB models are available for pickup but obviously there isn’t as much stock as the standard models.
I picked up a MBA 16GB/1TB and decided I wanted a Pro just for a the bit more it gives and it was a week and a hald before 16GB/1TB was available.
I believe you want to check just after midnight as that seems to be when the stock updates.

If you want a 16GB RAM M1 MacBook Air or Pro from a Apple Store then they are only available with 1TB SSD, I have never seen any to date with a different storage capacity. If you follow @JD2015 example and Click the check store it will allow you to enter a postcode and search availability at a store close to you. I live in Bristol and when I did a search, there is a 16GB / 1TB 13" M1 MacBook Pro available in Exeter.
Do you know if this is just week days? No luck today with London stores it seems. Unless I was just slow off the mark!
ideally I wanted a 16gb MBA but went with the 8gb until the new m2 or m1x/z appears next year, where ill prob get 16gb. I have checked frequently on Apple and they never have any 16gb in stock around me. I live In Barnsley area so have a few Apple places around me, its annoying tbh but not the end of the world. 8gb is working well for me.
hope you find one.

I got mine on this past Friday. Just ordered and picked up a pro 16 gb 1tb from Reading. It was around 9:30 am and it popped up as available in store. Also could have gone to Covent Garden or white city and picked up the same unit. Keep trying in the morning.

Take a passport or drivers licence (photo ID) along. Original only. I found out to my mild inconvenience that Apple stores in the UK will not accept a photocopy or photo in my phone (and that was for a Smart Cover).
You must have been lucky... I've been checking for the past few days but with no luck. I should have nabbed it when it popped up on Friday.
Just an update - it seems Saturday is the day for stores to have 16gb/1tb machines in stock for collection - locally, Covent Garden, Regent Street and a couple of others had stock for pick up this morning. Managed to nab one from Stratford City and am now setting it up. Such a great machine so far.
