I notice that my credit card now has a pending transaction for the full amount. Does this mean anything? My delivery window is 18-30th. There is no change in my order status (processing)
Same.
It will change to dispatched in the next few days.
I only found this out, because I was regularly checking the Apple Store app. The dispatch email didn’t arrive for a couple of days after.
My delivery window was 15th-22nd. The dispatch email from Apple states that delivery is on the 15th. Who knows, it could arrive sooner.
It's here, and it's rapid. Have so far avoided having to use Rosetta at all (though I've only had it for an hour and a half!) -- stuff like 1Password, VSCode and LaTeX all have Universal builds (albeit betas).
Ordered MBA 8/8 16GB/512 on 3rd Dec, now have a pending payment on my credit bill.
What ETA does Apple give you? My work ordered same spec in space grey for me on 2nd and last I heard (on Monday) was “Arriving 30th Dec“. As it’s not on my account I can’t check for updates which is a bit frustrating!
Cheers. We’re waiting on the same spec so will be interested to know when yours arrives.
In my experience, it’s not unusual to be cautious about delivery dates. I’ve often had items arriving earlier.
Just had a text: My MBP is now being delivered on Friday, instead of next Tuesday.
Nice

Ouch! Thanks for response. I think I need to step away from checking this thread and just let things be until I eventually get sent a tracking number…
So does it (thus far) fulfil your expectations?
Or does it disappoint you?
Or does it exceed your expectations?
So far, it's met them, but I was expecting a lot.
There's a lot of stuff I've not tested, and I've not used the battery at all yet (it's lived on mains power). Software support has exceeded expectations slightly, but that's as much down to third parties as anything.
It's annoying (but not a huge deal) not being able to use more than one external display, but I knew what I was getting myself in to and have a desktop machine anyway connected to my monitors 24/7 anyway. I've never used 2 external displays with a laptop before, so it's probably as much knowing that I couldn't if I wanted to rather than any actual disadvantage.
Not unique to the M1, but I'm still getting used to the Touch Bar. I quite like it when I'm using it, but need to get used to resting my fingers slightly further away than I normally would, as I occasionally accidentally touch it by accident. It's good having a physical escape key.
I've not had a Mac for a while, and it's nice to be back on a machine with some polish, but again that's not a unique thing to the M1 either.
Woohoo! Just had a text from DHL for Friday delivery. Just in time for the weekend
Same as me
.My MBA M1 8/8 16GB 512GB SG ordered on 19th Nov is now due for delivery this Friday, just had SMS from DHL. Was previously due next Tues. Result. Fingers crossed for safe delivery. ?

Good stuff. My delivery window starts next Friday so hoping for next Tuesday / Wednesday.
Guess I’m officially in the Eindhoven club! My Dec 1st order shipped, delivery on the 17th.
Ditto, ordered 30/11, now shipped with a delivery date of 17/12. MBA 8/7 16/256 In Space Grey. Hurrah!
Delivery had been estimated for tomorrow but just checked the tracking again (had no further updates from DHL like an email or text) and its actually out for delivery today . Might be worth checking if you also got a text from them yesterday.
EDIT: OK I was just too keen with the checking, delivery text has just come in from DHL
