The supply chain has hit some industries really hard. When I was looking to upgrade to the Mac Studio, any custom order was going to end up being weeks away and I didn't want to bother, so I opted for the default build.

As already mentioned, probably because just like many other Industries that are waiting for some chips that are in a short or non-existent supply for a while.

I just ordered a new MBP 14" for my granddaugher. She is going into film studies and her college wisely recommended a MBP. Since grammy (that's me!) is the only person in the family with a mac background, I took her to an Apple store to check out what the 16" vs 14" sizes would be. She liked the silver 14". The very nice and cute guy who helped us, and yes she noticed, said the target date for ordering and delivery was the middle of August. I was not comfortable with that as she starts classes in September. I also plan to work with her as she has only had Windows computers. I already knew B&H Photo Video in New York had what I wanted for her in stock.

I got her a silver M1 Max with 32 core GPU, 64GB memory, 1TB. I plan on this lasting her for all four years. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow.

Perhaps someone from Apple is monitoring this forum

Never, nope, doesn't happen. Coincidence only.

I was of course only joking but I guess you realised that

Some folk actually think Apple monitors this website. Never had one single comment that I am aware of from Apple on this site in the 10-12 years I've been following it.

Progress! Now it will be loaded on a UPS plane where it will get to tour several countries on it's way to your house. When it gets to you it will be better traveled than most humans.

She does. I have know this was coming and planned for it. And in two years I will be looking again for a laptop for her sister. Thank goodness they are two years apart!

BTW: It has been delivered!

Maybe a hard shell case to help it thru those 4 crazy/fun/hectic/party-hardy years!
