UPDATED!
 
I found an old Thunderbolt to usb-c so I was able to begin the setup process. I was worried about the high pitch noise but so far haven’t heard anything at all, the quietest Mac I’ve owned (and I’ve owned a lot).
I was worried about this too and mine is also dead silent. A pleasant change of pace from my 16” MBP with an Intel CPU - that thing sounds like a rocket when the fans kick in.
 
I saw one pop up in my local Apple Store this morning so I canceled my pending order and placed that for 2 hour deliver. So excited. Then it was marked delivered and wasn't here. I have ring doorbells and there was nobody there so the driver either took it for himself or delivered it somewhere else. Apple opened an investigation into it so now I get to wait for that and see what happens.

Anyone ever have this kind of situation? What kind of timeline can I expect here til they issue me a new one (assuming it is in stock still).

My original expected delivery was July 22-29, but it shipped and cleared customs with delivery tomorrow, June 30. The good new is that it is arriving 4-5 weeks earlier than expected. The bad news is that my Studio Display is still showing July 22-29 and it still shows processing. Since my Mac Studio is replacing a 2019 27“ iMac which cannot be used as an external display, I’m going to have to wait until my display shows up to set up the Mac Studio.
connect it to any monitor so you can check if it whines.
 
Picked mine up yesterday at the Apple Store after ordering in mid-April. Ultra 20/48 core with 64g and 4 TB. Did the set up and initial migration last night; several hours today to reinstall/revalidate/authorize lots of Logic plugins. The good news: so far it's dead silent. No whine, no fan noise, nothing. Quiet. Way below the ambient noise level of my house. Which is great -- I was worried. Also good news: it seems pretty fast but I can't really tell because almost everything I've done so far has been limited by my internet speed. Boot up is very fast. So far I haven't noticed a big change in latency in Logic while recording from a MIDI controller. A little disappointed in that. Overall: so far so good.
 
Ordered M1 Max/64GB/32GPU/1TB last night. I could not be more excited. Happy to be part of this thread :) Delivery for 28/07 to 04/08 (Australian dates). Got the Studio Display a few days ago and it’s great. Will be a fantastic combo. Good times to be a Mac enthusiast. This replaces a 2020 iMac i7 which was a beast, and in the meantime running off a 2018 Mini which is admirably holding the fort - what a trooper.
 
Ordered the other day, how long does it take to bill your card?

Ordered mine on June 27th estimated delivery July 28 - Aug 4th. Already shipped but UPS says delayed with delivery date pending sitting in Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong. Fingers crossed it gets on a plane soon and comes earlier than expected!

Max 10 CPU 32 GPU 64GB and a 1TB SSD.

first apple hardware purchase besides an OG click wheel iPod when they first came out. Rather excited to get it!
 
Looks like there are delays with anything that made it as far as HK, as there’s been a typhoon there over the weekend. Mine was pushed back a day yesterday, and another day today. New eta is Thursday

Darn! Hope things move speedily for you.

And meantime…mine got all the way from Shenzhen to some postal depot in my local area in just over 2 days, then was "out for delivery" the next day (Saturday) but didn’t arrive. It’s out for delivery again today (it’s Monday morning where I am). I’ll believe it when I see it.

I imagine the surfing or fishing was good on Saturday and our post guy had better things to do! One of the penalties of living in a small seaside town 😂
 
For all who are still waiting, my Mac Studio (Ultra 20 CPU/48 GPU/128 GB/2TB) arrived on the 17th of June.
Now I can say it is worth waiting so long, no whining, temperature and rpm constant low.
At one moment I was working with 5 items (browsing with 3 browsers, streaming, editing video's/foto's, remote control and playing a video and everything stays quiet.
The only minus is the bad performance of the magic mouse and keyboard. They don't start at start up, however the same problem I have with mac mini and iMac 24 inch.

I've been able to use mine for work and honestly haven't heard anything from my machine. It's super quiet, no bluetooth issues or port issues. The machine is always cool and so snappy. Definitely a huge upgrade from my MacPro 2013.
 
I don’t mind waiting for this one. 2-3 months feels like a long time. But when I was using the Ultra in the store all I could think of was how much time I was going to save on future jobs.
