Further to post #74, if you want to see if your Spanish is up to Abarco's 4 PM review of the Mac Studio M1 Max, this is his unboxing video from earlier today:

As pointed out in another thread, DP Review has published a review for photographers of the Mac Studio M1 Max.

Note that the DP Review article also assesses Mac Studio/M1 Max performance for Final Cut Pro and Premier Pro, although not for DaVinci Resolve.
John Gruber (Daring Fireball) intends to purchase the Studio Display, but he is not happy with the monitor's camera. Like Dave Lee, he wants Face ID: https://daringfireball.net
I would think that he'll comment on the Mac Studio computer tomorrow.

This probably doesn't help, but one poster, who has worked in Apple retail, says that US store inventory is set at 5 AM Pacific/8 AM Eastern. I, and I'm sure others, would be interested in what you find out about what's available in Australian Apple Stores today.
Had a look at https://www.apple.com/au and so far it looks the two base configs are available for pickup and nothing else. Not sure if that could still change.
Just did the same exploration and found the same. A bit unfortunate. I’m actually not that picky on Max vs. Ultra (as I think I’d be fine with that processing power regardless), but would LOVE to have a config with 2TB or more internal storage. The 16” MBP M1 Max did have a BTO config available in stores (that had the 4TB SSD). That doesn’t seem to be the case so far with the Mac Studio, sadly.
I preordered a Max/32GB/32core/4TB model and would have considered higher spec version but 1TB is tough for me and preorder times are now 10 weeks+.
I might get the base model Ultra anyway and keep using my 8TB external PCIe SSD. Originally my plan was not to rely on it but oh well.

It was said before but for laptops the stores typically also have 1 or 2 higher spec "ultimate" configurations in stock, even in different colors.
Also there are "only" 36 different configurations for the Mac Studio.
I would have expected them to have maybe 4 different configurations available at launch.

When I add it to the shopping bag and go to "Review Bag" view I can see that it's available in many stores.
Oh good idea! It looks like Studio Displays with the regular stand are in stock but not the height-adjustable one.
In a web browser. I don‘t even know how to switch the iPhone app to a different store.
People who are familiar with Jordan Taylor Wright (Taylor Cut Films), may be interested in this video that will be released Friday morning at 11 AM EDT. I imagine that it's been commissioned by Apple:

Oh boy that's unfortunate. Was hoping to pick up an Ultra with 128GB RAM and 4TB SSD in store. This would match the config that was available in store for the 16" MBP.
I don't know if Apple will add those in-store in the future, but for now the demand is apparently sky-high even for the stock configs.
I just checked, even the stock Max are gone in half of our stores.
