They seem to have these in stock from time to time
Not sure if it's available for shipping or only local pickup
So, if you have a Microcenter nearby and don't want to wait for a custom order from Apple, check their stock
The Houston store has 4 of these in stock currently

Maybe b/c that’s all they need?
My wife and kids are all on 256GB Airs with over 150GB to spare

Nice deal, wish I could get by on 256, ha. There's a MC about a mile from me! I'm still holding out for the 14" M1 MBs. Hopefully releasing soon...
