Right next to mine
Update 12/3/20....Still stuck in Chek Lap Kok and still NO delivery date even though Apple says next Tuesday. I am finding Apple hard to believe vs. UPS’s no delivery date after having a reset by UPS.

I can't really afford it but I couldn't resist the few bucks off at Adorama. As a Xmas gift for my teen, I figure this might as well be her - off to college computer... I was going to have to buy it sometime in the next few years. Now just I gotta pay Amex... (((

Adorama is annoying me... Now they're backordered. I did get free upgraded shipping though to make sure this thing gets here by the 24th. They better deliver..!!!
Three days ago I ordered the 16GB/512GB M1 mini. At the time, Apple's estimated delivery date was December 24, and according to my order status updates, it still is. Strictly speaking I don't "need" it, but if it does what I need, I can sell my mid-2014 MBP Retina for a few hundred and live happily with the new mini for quite awhile.
I don't know how much longer the old MBP will keep going. I'd rather move on from it while I can still sell it for a few hundred bucks than wait till it's only good for parts. Until these new M1 Macs were announced, I was wondering if I could even afford to buy another new Mac that could handle my use of photo processing apps including Lightroom and Photoshop. This is a hobby, after all, not how I earn my living. But man, I was dreading the prospect of going back to Windows because of being priced out by Apple. I don't need pro-level video editing type power in my computers, but more capability than the entry level Intel Macs. I already have a dual monitor desktop setup powered by the MBP so I don't need to buy peripherals. Just the mini. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Follow up to my post above. I have an Apple package in transit from China in my UPS app that is scheduled to arrive by the end of the week. Looks like it’s coming a lot sooner than the ETA date
Goodbye Microsoft (Xbox aside) and Hello M1 Mini (256GB with 16GB RAM).
Not sure I'll get in in 2020 though, likely in early 2021

Ordered a 8GB/256GB for my mother, should be here in couple days. All she does is email/web browse/YouTube, bye bye 6yr old PC
Your mom is gonna have the hottest Mac on the block.
Just got my shipping notice for my M1 Mini. UPS says 12/14
I also got a shipping notice this morning. Apple says the estimated delivery date is 16 December, and UPS says it's 14 December.

weird, mine hasn't even moved yet. No updates at all...you did order couple of days before me so here's to hoping it updates soon.
My 16/512 M1 mini is still at the airport in Hong Kong, per the UPS tracking system. I ordered it 7 days ago and it shipped two days ago. Today I went online and saw that if I would settle for 8GB RAM, I could pick up a 512GB M1 mini at one of our local Apple stores today. However, I'm not in a hot hurry so I'll stick with my original order. And, yeah, I went online to look at the M1 Air, which I also want - and don't need. 🤣
sure enough, today it's on the move. It's in Chek Lap Kok, HK.
ETA says 18th per Apple, but per UPS tentative date is 16th. I'd be happy either way to get it next week.
I bought my 8gig M1 mini from 
store yesterday and hooked up to my Dell P2419HC. Already erased and installed 11.0.1 from scratch and works great. So happy..🎉
