Apple’s new laptop is already backordered for weeks.
When Apple unveiled the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro at its “Unleashed” event, it gave a vague release date of “next week.” According to Apple.com, the release date is actually today—Tuesday, October 26—but it may as well be next week or next month. Because unless you’ve already ordered one, you’re not going to find one online. The least-expensive MacBook Pro—the 14-inch model with an 8-Core M1 Pro, won’t arrive until the end of November. The 16-inch models stretch into December. And if you want the $6,099 fully maxed-out model with a 32-core M1 Max,64GB of memory, and 8TB of storage you’ll be lucky to get it in time for Christmas. Your best bet for finding a new MacBook Pro is at an Apple retail store.
