And there is NON for delivery or collection.
They just give a delivery date of 4 Apr - 19 Apr
Does this mean that there are no Mackbooks with this speck in the uk or there are none full strop and they build them to order?
Just that i need it a.s.a.p for work.
Large RAM and top M1 Max processors are especially difficult to obtain. The 16-in displays are all taking longer than 14-in displays.
If you relax the specifications, you can reduce the wait-time. If you relax the specifications enough, there may be a computer in stock from largest resellers or Apple stores.
In the US, the Apple online store currently shows what you were seeing for the highest-end M1 max with large memory -- about April 20 delivery date.
At this writing, I might be able to pick up a 14-in with 1TB drive locally, TODAY. Once those are gone delivery dates are at least mid-March, mostly longer..

This is on par for recent orders especially the 64 GB RAM.
Global supply chain limitations are dictating delivery date slow downs...

All Macs are built to order. There is no warehouse of Macs waiting to be purchased. Some basic standard configuration Macs may be available at retail stores.
Expecting a custom-order it to appear BEFORE the promised end of the delivery window is not realistic.
Count on the worst, then if it shows up earlier, "Merry Christmas".
...and they build them to order?
Exactly. Expecting stacks of product languishing in some dank warehouse waiting for an order to set them free is so 30+ years ago.
To get a superb overview of modern manufacturing and how most products that have options--like Macbook Pros-- are made in the computer age, please find James May's three-part documentary, "Building Cars," (2015). In the US, it is on Amazon Prime Video. Don't know about the UK but it is a BBC production.
In addition to world-wide shipping bottlenecks, many manufacturing fields have trouble finding enough people post-COVID to staff positions that require the human touch. Add in the fact that the Macbook Pro-M1Max is a relatively new product and those are always in high demand. You get a perfect storm.
Please see the video. It is an excellent learning tool that shows that, in many industries, giant finished goods warehouses are history.
Thank you. your time is appreciated and i do understand. i will just have to order. and hope it arrives as quick as possible
Why so long to get delivered!!
