New MacBooks, Pros sold out at several Apple stores |
Apple's newly-released MacBooks and MacBook Pros are allegedly selling out globally, if sales are as brisk as they have been in at least four Apple retail stores, according to The Apple Blog. So far three flagship stores have reported outages – London's Regent Street, Toronto's Eaton Center, and San Francisco – as well as the Manchester Arndale store. Comments on the page indicate that outages are spreading to a few other stores, or at least short supplies.Apple has not commented on the low stock levels, so it is uncertain whether this is due to high demand, low stock levels, or intentionally sending short shipments in order to create interest in the product, similar to Nintendo's tactics with the Wii. |
