Well maybe there on the USA they have bigger stocks, and more places to buy from. Here in Spain (Europe), third party retailers such as Fnac and Media Markt still don’t have the M1 macs on store and you have to purchase them online and wait until they have them available. I mean, yeah, theoretically I could purchase them through other retailers but they are struggling more than Apple Retail, and those retailers don’t accept student discount. Also, if you purchase on an Apple Store, the second year of Warranty is on Apple Genius Bar as well. If you get the laptop on a third party retailer, the warranty is on them, and I only trust Amazon technical service outside Apple’s own Genius Bar (basically because Amazon swaps your unit for a new one, in most cases)The iPad Air is the only product out of stock in physical stores in my area. 3 of the 4 Apple stores on a hundred mile radius have all models of the M1 MBA in stock, as do all the Best Buy’s. Have you tried other retailers besides Apple?
So... yeah, I will wait until Apple replenishes their stock. If I was living on the USA I surely would buy on any of those retailers you mention because, specially on Black Friday, you guys have awesome discounts!! Black Friday in Spain is a bit of a joke, with minimum discounts on old technology to free up stock.
