Apple's new MacBook Neo pre-orders are already showing delays just days after launch. The blush-colored base model, initially promised for day one delivery, now won't ship until March 16-23. This marks the first configuration to slip past the March 11 release date, while other colors remain on schedule.

Seven of eight configurations were still available for March 11 delivery as of Thursday afternoon. The silver upgraded model remains the only configuration guaranteed for launch day, with blush and citrus upgraded versions delayed until March 23-30. The indigo upgraded model faces a March 16-23 delivery window.

Storage options include 256GB and 512GB variants, with the higher capacity model adding Touch ID and 8GB RAM across all configurations. Apple offers the MacBook Neo in silver, blush, citrus, and indigo finishes. The blush base model delay could indicate either unexpected popularity or inventory constraints, though Apple retail stores maintain stock availability.
