The pricing of the 14 and 16 models are surprisingl

Me too - which is why I didn't even look at the 14" - just sucked it up and went for the 16".  Now I'm even happier with that decision.

just ordered my M1 Max version, will be available in a week, I honestly don't know how Apple has managed to get these chips given the level of deep shortages going on

Ordering (and paying for) millions of parts years in advance - that's how.  One thing Tim Cook is obviously VERY good at - managing the supply chain.

Next, but when? Hope they rollout 32” iMac before Xmas. No big production needed, just a press release would be fine. 

I don't understand why they didn't just release an M1 32" iMac with the 24" - would be MORE than enough for most people.  My mom's iMac is starting to get finicky; it would be really nice to replace it with a newer one.  Hopefully they aren't running into issues sourcing the screens with all the ongoing supply chain BS.

Ok, so. I ordered as soon as the store went live.

16” M1 Max, 64GB RAM, 2TB drive. Arrives between Nov 3rd (day after my birthday), and Nov 6th. Pretty good!

So you are the one I was competing with  

If I could have been a bit quicker the original date was October 26th.  D'oh!

They even said you can charge with USB-C so what's the point of MagSafe?

The point of magsafe is the breakaway connection.  Biggest annoyance with the M1 Macbook Air - that stupid %@#$ USB-C charging cable that didn't detach.  So glad they brought it back; I thought I was going to loose Magsafe forever.  So glad I returned the MBA because I needed more RAM.  The only thing that would have made this laptop utterly perfect is if they would have included at least one USB A port - but with Magsafe and the SD slot it cuts the dongles required down to just one.  Thank god!
