Ordered the stock i3, space grey.Delivery date expected 21-24 April.

Is the perfect interim upgrade from aging MBA 2013. Perfect hand-me-down in a couple of years, once Apple has sorted a MBA 14", mini-led and ARM cpu based upgrade in 2022.

Question about trade in during purchase-

I’ve read you have 2 weeks to send in your trade in. Is it 2 weeks from the day you RECEIVE the new MacBook, or 2 weeks from when you order it? I’d imagine it’d be 2 weeks from when you receive it.
its two weeks from the opening of the apple store near you!

My i5 with 16gb ram and 1TB ssd ordered on 3/23 is still “processing,” but they charged my credit card two days ago so I expect it can’t be too much longer until the status changes to preparing to ship.

may I ask why you just don't wait or get the new 13-14 MBP with such specs?

Is buying from Apple directly the only way to get a base model with upgrade to i5? I have store cards for places like Amazon, Best Buy, Costco and can get extra rewards/financing; however, I don't see any option to buy models that are different from the 2 stock SKUs.
