Shipping dates already slipped? ordered a few hours ago and looking at April delivery date.
I still have the same delivery date, but the price dropped on my pending order, and it just says MBA. Im hoping that means they are sending me the new one!?
Ordered a maxed out 2020 MB Air this morning, already showed an April 3rd-10th delivery date. Excited, going to be a massive upgrade over my 2014 13" MB Pro
canceled order and reordered.

I've ordered the i5 with 16Gb and 1Tb SSD. Estimated delivery 6-15 April 
Wanted a light weight laptop for when I'm travelling and editing my holiday photos and videos. Love the small form factor, it fits easily into the hotels safe Other than that it's only used for light use word /excel, safari and email.

Guys, im on day 5 of q-tine in NYC.... nothing at all to do but wait for this shipping email 😂😂
Looks like if you get the base i5 it's 2-4 business days but bump it up to 16gb ram and it's 1-2 weeks.
While my 11 inch MBA from 2013 with SSD upgrade and 8GB of memory is still working well for everyday tasks like mail and web surfing, I had been looking for an upgrade path since it was likely going to go out of support for the next version of MacOS.
Space Gray MBA 2020 i7 with 16GB of memory and 1TB storage just ordered.
I hope this lasts as long as the last one .. which is now living a second life as a very over spec'd music server (I just could not find it in me to trade it in for peanuts.. it still works too well).

I suspect this is because getting it manufactured and out of China given COVID-19 is a bit more challenging these days. The factories and shipping just isn't running anywhere near 100% yet.

I am planning to 16GB / 1RB... I am still debating between the i5 & the i7... thoughts?
i7 is an extra $150 over i5, and should add about 7%-10% performance boost. I keep my laptops for ~3 years, so it ends up just an extra $2/month (less than a proverbial cup of coffee). And it's not something I can just add later on.
So it's money well spent to me - YMMV.
Thinking about trading my 2015 for this exact model also...hope it works out for ya!
That was my thinking too; thanks for confirming my logic. My last three Macs (2005 Black MacBook; 2010 MacBook Air; 2015 MacBook) have each lasted me five years, so maxing it out makes sense.
Being in the house all the time at the moment is making me shop! My 2017 MBP is getting docked in my new home office, and I'm going to use the 2020 MBA on the go. The keyboard on the MBP is dire, and I'm not a huge fan of the touchbar. I've got a decent bluetooth keyboard for working at home.
Ordered i5, 16GB, 256 MBA in Gold. Estimated shipping 9th April onwards.

anyone else getting a loaded MBA instead of MBP 16" I get the two are totally different, but the 16" weight is significant... for everyday use, bed, living room, etc...curious to see how others feel?
Yes, this is going to be my primary use - I use a 13" MBP around the house now and take it on the go, but I used to have an 11" MBA and much preferred that form factor. 13" isn't too bulky, though.
yeah 13 is not bad, 16 is... sadly. for me... great machine.. just huge...
