EUROPE MacBook Pros 14” and 16” inch Pre-orders, Orders and Delivery Status

Just out of curiosity, why US keyboard?

I live in Switzerland and also got a US keyboard. It is what I have used all my life so it makes more sense. Swiss keyboard is strange!!
I got the 16"/32C/32Gb/1Tb ordered Oct 15 and delivered Oct 27 straight from Apple. It was BTO but got there fast. I would never order a brand new product from a retailer as they tend to be served last in the queue.

I just prefer it for coding as the characters one often uses are in a better position.

Ordered a 16"/24C/32gb from iStyle Romania on nov 10th... and no one knows anything about it

Yeah, same for me. I have to have big shift on the left and ~ just under escape. I was wondering how many people do this. I just hate European keyboard layout.

I was lucky to grab one 14" BTO 10 core 1TB ssd by Amazon with delivery in one day. Now I still waiting for mine ordered by reseller because they wont return my money back (because the trade of my old macbook)... so the wait will be much relaxing now.

I was contacted by the reseller today with the following info:

"There's currently supply outage of the following devices: MacBooks Pro 14", 16" and iMacs. Currently these devices are defined as unknown delivery date, however we have unconfirmed information, that we could start delivering the mentioned devices begging of February."


Just for completion, ordered 16" Max 24c 32GB 512GB US Keyboard on November 5th, 2021.

Great! At least your reseller informs you, mine doesn't say anything. ?
I ordered on October 28th, and I would be OK with it being delivered by 15th of February.

Still no news for me from m:zone, ordered 16'' M1 Max 64GB RAM, International, 1TB on October 21st

Hello guys, it's been a long time without posting in this thread ... and now I can qualify again for it, decided to return my Macbook M1 Pro 14" 10CPU/16GPU/32GB/1TB yesterday (my christmas period was still available) and placed an order for the M1 Max 24GPU keeping the same other specs, it will be a long wait cause I'll be without a laptop for two months, but I know as well the wait will be totally worth it when the new machine arrives.

So, I'll try to be patient, but for the first one was one month, now two ... come on Apple! I just hope it takes the needed time, and it arrives with no deffects as the first one did.

Cheers guys, and keep the faith!! I know the waiting game is very harsh.

 

[Billy Shears]

I wouldn't be surprised if you get it before some of us who ordered in October through reseller and are still waiting. It's getting beyond ridiculous now.

I can't picture myself in a situation as this one, I'd be so pissed off having to wait that much to get a computer, specially if you need it for work as most of the people ordering these ones are requiring.

I can understand why some of you ordered via reseller (no Apple Store availability in the country, discounts, etc.) but it's a shame the reseller can't do anything but wait for Apple to ship those orders, my only advice is to remain patient, I know this is hard, cause I know I tend to be that way till a certain limit, and in your situation, that would be really beyond it. Still, my advice will be to keep calm and wait for the best.

Cheers buddy!!!

Reseller in Romania just confirmed Apple changed estimate for CTO order (m1 max 64g ram) to 26.03.2022 + 10 days shipping. Order date was 08.11.2021

 

[SirKeldon]

I was just checking out of curiosity, the increasing of the dates according to higher specs ... to my surprise, when arrived to 14" M1 Max 32GPU / 64GB / 2TB SSD, popped out as "Available to pickup" at a nearby Apple Store and was available in some others as well, so while some more cheap options are not available, this 4600 EUR monster, is ready to be bought. I wish I had ordered/needed that configuration ?

I’ve ordered my Mac on January 13 and it’s been shipped two days ago with estimated delivery on February 6 (originally 10-16 February).

I went for 14” Pro 10/16, 32GB, 1TB.

For everyone that is still waiting, be patience, the day will come ❤️

Relatively similar to mine ordered a few days later (I'm 16" and 2TB though, but seems like non-max/max is biggest differentiator in wait times), my estimate is early March though

So after long 14 weeks, my order finally arrived today!
16'' M1 Max, 10Core/64GB RAM/1TB, ordered 21. October 2021 from m:zone in Slovakia

Got my 14” standard two days after launche or if it was one week.

Now I have bumped up my projects and need 32GB ram.

I guess that I’ll order the 14” pro maxed out with cpu and 32GB ram and 512gb disk.

Don’t get me wrong the 16Gb still keeping strong I only swap like 32mb and memory pressure are at 40-50% but I’ll soon need docker so….

Once you're in the 32GB boat and at the top M1 Pro, did you consider adding 200$ more to get the M1 Max 24GPU? I was in a similar pathway, used the 16GB for one week, wasn't enough, swapped for 32GB and once there, it behaved like a champion but I had a little bit of buyer's remorse due to not getting the Max, I've read a lot of reviews regarding battery life/temps to justify my decision and I was "happy".

Then, this January, I saw again battery and thermal reviews comparing these two CPU/GPU SoCS, difference on similar usages weren't that dramatic or directly they weren't, also regarding temperatures, very very similar even on just CPU tests. Add the fact that I'll be using within the next months GPU intensive programs for my future workflow, as stated by my company 2 weeks ago. At that moment, it was a no-brainer situation, decided to swap M1 Pro 14" 10CPU/16GPU/32GB/1TB and go for the same specs but M1 Max 10CPU/24GPU

Decided to pull the trigger on one this week, Amazon had stock of the base model in silver, with £100 off. Now typing on it. Really pleased with it, miss the weight of the MBA but the screen more than makes up for it.

In my country it’s 400usd difference due to taxes.

I don’t need the extra GPU and I think that the cpu will serve me.

But now when your writing this I’m starting to wonder…..

Hi,

So I waited, waited, waited and finally received some good news. After 16 weeks today I've received my 16" M1 Max, 64GB RAM/1TB, ordered 19th October 2021 from Cortland in Poland. From what I was told, this is the first laptop with such configuration that they've got from Apple. So now migrating stuff from MBP 15" 2015. It will take a while (especially all the dev things), but I already see it was worth waiting

They lied , in December they had one (16" Max 64gbRAM/1TB) in Krakow store, I didn't take it because I opted for 4TB one - still waiting

Sheeesh, you cannot trust anyone these days Exact specification for me and I had to wait...

Me too.
I prefer the US layout.


Now, about my purchase.
Config:
16 inch M1 Max 32GPU 64GB 1TB space grey (US layout)

Ordered:
17 January

Delivery window:
9 March - 23 March

Country:
Ireland

I regret buying 1TB for a machine I intend to keep for five years. I think 2TB would be better, but cancelling the order to make a new one will increase the delivery date even more. The new purchases are expected to be delivered by May. So now I'm thinking about buying a NAS to complement that space.
