I agree the trackpad is way better than the mouse

FYI. I placed an order for an 8 core/16GB/1TB on October 4, 2021. Still hasn't shipped, though they are currently saying it should be here by Nov 9.
Dang. I placed mine on Oct 11th and Apple says it should be delivered between Nov 10th-17th. Same configuration as you too.
I expect it when it arrives. My old iMac was giving me grief and I really wanted a 27" but at the time the M1 was a rumour so held out for this 24" (old 2013 iMac now keeping dust off a shelf). I could be temped for a trade in, depending. I do like this screen size and a 32 might be too far. Have to get my cardboard cut out when they announce whatever is due.
oh likely, whenever it actually happens, which probably won't be until next spring. they'll probably put an M1 Pro or follow-up with an ARM design of the newer iPhones in the 24". Likely a lower core count, more efficient version of the latter.
my wife is on a 2014 Mac Mini with a Fusion drive and ready for a change. just have to put a stake in the ground at some point.

I see, i just thought the next Mac should be a big upgrade worth the wait for a few more months.
My 27in Mac is 9 years old now, and ready for a re fresh even though it works fine.
Hoping for a 32 in screen along with the improved internals.
if my wife was in the mood for a screen over 24", yeah I'd wait, but she doesn't like the bigger screens anyway and the regular M1 should be fine for what she does (she doesn't push her system any harder than using a little Adobe Lightroom).
I personally hate Apple's glossy screens
, so I'm waiting for the new Mac Mini and then I'll upgrade my desktop Intel system.Edit: still haven't received a ship date yet, yet they claim it'll be here by 11/9. Guess it could ship later today.

Ordered an iMac M1 8th core CPU and 8 core GPU on the 24th of October. It stays it will arrive somewhere between 24th of November to December 1st.
my wife got an email yesterday saying ours should be here today. what's weird is there was no heads up on the Apple order tracking at all, it just suddenly appeared yesterday. it's tracked by a site called deliver-it.com. never heard of it.
Edit: just arrived. some non uniformed dude brought it to the door and made sure someone was home so he felt comfortable leaving it. Maybe it's a Silicon Valley area thing for deliveries (the origin according to the label was Fontana, CA BTW).

Awesome. I was in the same boat as well. I kinda waited for M1 mac minimax or pro chip as well but decided to go with iMac as well.
And shipped. Ordered 10/25 with 11/24 - 12/02 window. ETA is now 11/12.
i dont think u can “exchange” but u can order it through many call transfers through apple themselves
