MacBook Pro a four months of delivery in US? Really? Why?

Don't feel alone it is par for the course, with global supply chain issue across the board.

You cancel your order anytime, before it moves from processing to shipping:

Viewing & Changing Orders - Shopping Help - Apple

you have other options as mentioned by lobsterghost1 above...

Apple's open box/returns/refurbs/clearance these are in stock items and ship with 24-48 hrs. Inventory changes hourly/daily...

Certified Refurbished Products - Apple

other third party, see what is in stock:

ex. OWC/MacSales—

None available with a 64 GB of RAM, that I need

Well I can not help you with that.

I tried to make the point above the the inventory changes almost daily on Apple's site—I suspect the 64 GB RAM do not stay long on that page. If it were me, I might check back 2 or 3 times a day until June...

Good luck though !

Lot's of people have had this happen to them. Perhaps you've not read about China and their Zero Covid Tolerance policies. How does that effect you? Guess where custom ordered MacBook Pro's are manufactured? Yep, China. And the very city where the manufacturing facility has been shuttered closed for about the last 6 or more weeks. If there is no one to make your MBP, it can't be made. If it can't be made, it can't be sent to you.

I'm sure you are just as disappointed as Apple is about this. They can't charge you until your custom MBP is shipped to you. If they can't charge you, they don't make money. You lose. Apple loses.

You have options:

1. Cancel your order if you can't wait
2. Wait until the facilities open again and your order will surely arrive at some point
3. Instead of buying a custom MBP, see if places like Best Buy may have something in stock which will meet your needs and if the do, buy it.
4. Buy something completely different from a different manufacturer is
5. Buy something from a different manufacturer if none of the above works for you

I'm typing on my brand new MacBook Pro 16" 1TB Space Grey, which I picked up at the Best Buy store just a few days ago.

You must be doing some unbelievably complex video processing to need that much ram?

I would recommend watching some of the many YouTube videos out there comparing the ram specs and why many are saying they wish they hadn't paid for so much more ram.

Your money and your choice entirely. But if you really need monster ram, you'll going to have to wait until your custom machine can be built. Or, find something else out there which meets the spec.

If I needed 64 GB RAM sooner than 4 months, I would risk looking silly to store managers and ask them to keep you on a phone list if someone decides they wanted 64 GB RAM but just could not tolerate the silver or space-grey they waited 4 months for. The worst they can say is "no, sorry".

A local store was willing to allow AppleCare+ past the 60 day limit if the iPhone passed their tests. I cannot tell if the manager technically can, but as I said, they will not press criminal charges for asking, they will just say "no, sorry".

Got it. If it's a new MacBook Pro with 64 GB RAM you need, you'll just have to wait. There is nothing anyone here or honestly at Apple can do to speed yours up for you.
