I've checked repeatedly and that is the major issue. No Base Max 1TB available until late May. Was mid-May but it keeps pushing out. 7 weeks! They should have made this available to order with more immediate delivery, even if they don't stock it in store, it would be nice to see this config ship within a week if not sooner if they had only planned it in the pipeline.
Right, Apple should give you what you personally want right away, if not in its stores, by putting you had the head of the line if you order online
