Maybe they’re having a harder time getting the parts that are unique to MBP? Screens, keyboards, trackpads?

They should let the customer know, what if they needs the machine by deadline, they would consider other options

Looking at apple.com, changing from M1 Max to Pro shortens the estimate by about 20 days (16 inch mbp with a M1 Pro), earliest delivery if ordered today is April 4th for M1 Pro, April 25th for Max.

The Studio one (with a M1 Max) is available March 24-March 31. Same RAM and hard drive.

Studio was announced yesterday. Presumably they have a first batch of both models ready to go on day 1.

When they launched the M1 Mac mini on day one I was able to walk into an Apple store and pick one up but only the base model.
