>The new computers are already back-ordered by 4-5 weeks, so clearly someone's ordering them.
Does them being back-ordered matter much (outside of annoyance to consumers)?
Wouldn't it be more informative to see the absolute numbers of back orders now relative to the numbers for previous releases? For all we (public) know is that the back-ordered demand could be from smaller supply initial supply, not necessarily from record demand.

Are such numbers public knowledge?
