Waiting for the new MacBook models with M5 Pro chip to come out, the current M4 Pro are sold outand if we want one, depending on the configuration chosen, we will have to wait several weeks, or even months for it.
This means that either Apple is running out of parts, as we saw in recent news, or they simply want to use up everything they have before releasing a new model. In any case, acquiring one of these is practically impossible at this time.
MacBook out of stock
If you are thinking about buying a new MacBook Pro, keep one thing in mind: right now it is not unusual to have to wait a long time. We are not talking about a few days, but about weeks. In some cases, even almost two months until they send it to you.
This does not happen with all models, but it does with the most powerful ones or the ones that people usually customize. As soon as you start increasing the RAM, storage or choosing a more “cheeky” configuration, the delivery time skyrockets.
The problem is not that Apple does not sell, on the contrary. There is a lot of demand and that means that the stock runs out quickly.. In addition, many prefer to order a custom-made Mac instead of getting a standard one, and that always takes longer because it is manufactured expressly for you.
It takes many people by surprise. You go in to buy thinking that in a week you will have it at home and, suddenly, you see a date that falls in a month and a half. It's not a drama, but it's annoying if you need it to work or study now.
If you are not in a hurry and want just that specific configuration, there is no choice but to be patient. But if you want it as soon as possible, it is best to look at what models they have already made and ready to ship, even if they are not exactly the ones you had in mind.
In short: buying a MacBook Pro right now is not impossible, but it is advisable to be mentally prepared. If you want it powerful and to your liking, the normal thing is to wait. The demand and lack of stock of RAM and chips makes this worse, and we do not remember this happening in any year, and we always had a date available within a few days.
It must be taken into account that it does not occur in all countries, and it will also depend on the model and where you live. In SpainFor example, the most affected model is that of the M4 Pro, which, as of today, appears to us with a 3-4 week waitwithout changes, that is, if we want more RAM or storage, things get much worse, but if we only want the standard, there is also a good list.
And you, do you think this is normal? Could the M5 Pro come out sooner when the M4 Pro is back in stock? If so, many will surely end up canceling it, although the new ones may even arrive late, so it is a difficult decision for those who need to renew their computer now, especially if the previous one has died, and they do not have another one.
