Buyers face long waits and missing options for some desktop computers. A Wall Street Journal report on April 17, 2026 said Apple’s Mac Mini has become hard to buy, with delivery delays reaching up to 12 weeks and higher memory versions unavailable. Analysts point to strong demand from people running local AI systems, while models with 32GB and 64GB memory are listed as unavailable.
