Just wondering based on experience and past releases, how soon most Apple stores have new products on hand? Let's say new Mac Pros are announced on Monday or Tuesday. Will all retail stores in the US have them available for sale that day or will it be a "shipping soon" and order only thing to start?
 
Last time they announced it a month ahead of time. Sometimes it's the day of the announcement.
 
You should camp out overnight in front of the Apple Store just in case.
 
Don't you get them quicker if you order directly from Apple when they announce them? They need to ship them to the stores too.
 
Last time new minis were announced it was two days. MacBooks were next day I think.
