More than one month after the release of the new MacBook Pro, it remains difficult to enter into any APR shops in EU and to get out with a new MBP model. Apple does not seem to be able to respond to the demand, and distributors are receiving units in small amounts. It is not the same thing for the new MacBook, and one can easily find them in shops. This is especially difficult to understand as the first MacBook Pro were manufactured and shipped 3 weeks priori the dedicated Keynote.
The new manufacturing plan might be the limiting factors, and the production of the enclosure might need to be scaled in order to be able to deliver the requested units on time. This could also explain why the new MacBook Pro 17" is still not available, and might be delay till the availability of the 15" model finally reach a steady state. In addition, Apple might be willing to prepare some specific stocks for Christmas time.
