… You… don’t think they already locked in at least an initial tranch of component supply, retooled their factory and warehousing spaces, and have been churning some number of these things out… for some weeks or months already?
You normally don’t uh, instantly assemble tens or hundreds of thousands of computers, the week before product launch… you work out an entire time line of prep for sourcing, assembly and storage, you do that quarters before hand, and then start doing assembly, and then release when you think you have enough to sate initial demand.
And you’ll even do parts of that before the design spec itself is totally finalzed in all ways, often times.
