I ordered a 32GB MacBook Pro back in November from a reseller. I just received it last month. Though I saved almost $400 compared to ordering it from Apple, I am not sure the extra wait was worth it.

- allie1 5y agoSome countries don't have the ability to order from Apple.com at all. In those cases, resellers are the only option. I've relied on the Apple ecosystem because they haven't given me a reason not to, but now I am in a position where it's really hurting my productivity waiting for close to a quarter of a year. If they had set expectations better or provided better updates, I would have counted on it and found a temporary solution. No updates for months is just unacceptable when I place that much trust in a company. Even on Apple.com - you can get the same spec faster on Mac Studio earlier than a MBP 16" with the same spec.

- allie1 5y agoLooking at apple.com, changing from M1 Max to Pro shortens the estimate by about 20 days (16 inch mbp with a M1 Pro), earliest delivery if ordered today is April 4th for M1 Pro, April 25th for Max. The Studio one (with a M1 Max) is available March 24-March 31. Same RAM and hard drive.
