Ordered my MBP 14 inch M3 Max (64 GB, 2 TB). Supposed delivery date is second week of December.
Thought about getting 4 TB but that would have delayed shipping to past Christmas...
Will replace my M1 Max MBP (64 GB, 512 GB), still wondering if I'll sell it and just use my iPad Pro to tide me over for work etc.

MBP 16" M2Pro with 1TB SSD. 20% off approx. £500.
Coming from 2011 MBP.
Significant upgrade I could feel.

I noticed a huge jump on my desktop experience when I got my studio, it's made my 2016 MBP feel horrible. I don't usually upgrade two machines in a year but its been such an impressive transition.
MBP14/SpaceBlack/M3Max/16C/48GB/1TB was just charged and switched to Preparing to Ship
Original estimate of Nov 16-20

A good change you'll get it a day or 2 before from past experience
My M3 Max 16" unbinned 64GB/2TB shipped last night. Estimate was Nov 15-17. Apple's order page says delivers the 14th and UPS tracking says the 13th by end of day. Seems like the earlier orders moved up very slightly.
You and I are in the same boat. Unbinned 40 core, 64gb, 2tb shipped last night at 12AM and says 13th.
Interesting to see that custom configs for the unbinned Max are going out before the base config (that'll be on shelves presumably at some stores). Is what it is, of course, just twiddling my thumbs over here.
Yep mine shipped at 12am also - has your UPS updated from the China scan? I'm thinking I probably could have gotten it a bit sooner if I didn't send it to my mountain cabin up here in Lake Arrowhead but Monday isn't too bad if the date holds.
I guess it's due what comes out from the lithography process working. Maybe the yields of the Max chip are better than expected. A lot of 2TB 64GB configs have been mentioned too, so maybe that's a popular spec (it's what I've ordered too) so they're running larger batches of them.
First Time I’ve ever spent 3,800 on a computer (including AppleCare)... EEEEEK lol
But can't wait on my m3 Max 16" base.
Had to keep it silver.. (I already have a silver iPad, Natural titanium iPhone, ultra Apple Watch)..
Friday Delivery.. No local pickup in Memphis area until Monday for either m3 Max variant..
Now im having second thoughts on if I should have just maxed it out.. and got the 16core 48gb unified memory...

Ordered 16" M3 Max Space Black, 36gb ram, 2TB SSD on Monday 10/30 about 5 hours after orders were opened. Originally scheduled for a Nov 15th - 17th delivery time frame. CC got charged on 11/5 and flipped to preparing to ship on the tracker. 11/6 now says shipped. Was in Shanghai customs about 24 hours. Now on 11/8 it has arrived in Anchorage, AK!
UPS tracking app showing Fri 11/10 delivery -- Apple still showing Mon 11/13 delivery.
So either way looks like it will be here earlier than the original 11/15 - 11/17 estimate!!! Hopefully UPS is right and I'll get it this week!

As it's in UPS hands they will give you an exact date. Apples date will be up and down even on the day UPS delivers it
I thought the max chips were available a week after the pro and normal m3 chips
More generally, but there was some Max stock in-store yesterday and some of the very early Max BTO orders arrived on launch day as well. My roommate got in his 16" 16/40/128/4 machine yesterday.
There's a couple others in this thread who said they received that same config yesterday as well. Even thought it was 'BTO', it's probably a common enough config that they build up a stock of it.
yeah the original delivery window was Nov 9 - 13, but guess I got lucky
Update: received UPS shipping notification for delivery tomorrow. Not updated yet by Apple.
Order status changed to Shipped with a DHL tracking number. No ETA yet. Going to east coast US.

They're expensive, but they last a long time. My 2008 MacBook Pro is still running for a family member. My 2012 Mac mini is still going.
I know.. Currently on a M1 Pro MacBook Pro.. My wife is using my passed down 2018 MacBook Pro.. My mom is using my passed down 2016 MacBook Pro...
I know this one will last a long while.
