Ask HN: Has anyone else been affected by the MacBook Pro shortage?

There were some articles about the shortage in the media in Oct/Nov but right now you can't buy a MacBook pro anywhere in the UK. All the usual retailers (Apple, Argos, John Lewis, PC world etc.) don't have any in stock.

Anyone else been affected by this/know what is going on (beyond what just chip shortages)?
