Want to buy the new Macbook Pro 2018. But no pick up option yet?

[Kevinfinity]

Hey guys,

Finally, today Apple's sneaky new update triggered me to make the final decision. I want to buy the new customized MacBook Pro 2018.(More Ram and Hard drive...) But there is no pickup option for now only by delivery. Any idea of when they could provide pick up option for new 2018 MacBook Pro purchase? Thank you.

Guys any thoughts???

Most of the models I configured have a pickup option, July 23rd, a few don't.

I have seen them available same day in the past. I'd imagine they will trickle into stores over the next few days. If you plan on upgrading any of the specs, go ahead and order online. Apple only stocks the base models in store.

Oh. I choose everything the highest spec expect the hard drive. This might be the reason why this specific spec com initiation does not have pick up option yet... thank you

Any reason why you aren't asking Apple?

Because the first idea that came in my mind is seeking experience and information from the Apple community here.

I think I will also call Apple store later tonight. I am having class right now...

This. Most built-to-orders will be built-to-order and shipped in a few days from China.

A fully loaded MBP will not be available for same day in stores, let alone down the road: few people will be buying that, so no sense Apple having that inventory on their books in stores.

Now, if you want a base 13" MBP, that you can pickup today (closest to me has non-TB 13" in stock).

Probably because those didn't get updated today.
