Recession or not, after stocking up on inventory for weeks, the new Macbook Pros appear to be sold out online and in stores across the world. I ordered a new 15″ Macbook Pro last Wednesday from apple.com, and the status is still listed as shipping 3-5 business days. Several friends have been trying stores in California, and are being told “inventory may be in stock next week.” Macnn is reporting similar results in London and Toronto, as is the twittersphere.
While it’s entirely possible Apple is purposely “under-supplying” to create scarcity, it appears that demand is nonetheless very brisk. This could be a very good omen for their previous quarter’s results, which are due out this week.
