I just tested and it does ask if you are sure. This was always 100% on me, but even more so now!

You are braver than I! I’m glad that a prompt shows up though, cause not having that would be a pretty unfortunate UX oversight.

My Sept 15 mid i7 shipped 3 hours ago! Had no idea because the last email landed in my spam.
FedEx says Monday delivery. No weekend goofing off for me, I guess!

Got a shipping update…it’s in NC currently. It’s only 8 hours away but yet will take 48 hours to get it into my hands. If I could, I’d make the trip right now and still be home before the scheduled arrival with a ton of time left over. 
Well, I have left the September boat. Hope you guys get your machines. This feels like history is being made.

Received my i7-1185G7 DIY model today and have it up and running! I’ll piggyback on @Fraoch’s first impressions post when it comes out. Overall very positive though, it’s an awesome little machine!

I think it’s a two-way queue; 1st is the order date, 2nd is the CPU. When I sort by order date, the i5s are ahead of everything else in terms of first ordered (makes sense), but there are i7-1165G7s that folks have confirmed receipt of while i5s that ordered the same day are still waiting for that “We’re about to charge you soon!” email.
Rough counts so far (not an official roll-up):
38x i5-1135G7 (4x rec’d, 7x on the way, 10x charged but waiting shipping email)
40x i7-1165G7 (5x rec’d, 5x on the way, 9x charged but waiting shipping email)
8x i7-1185G7 (5x rec’d, 2x on the way, 1x fella who hasn’t followed up)
