2016 Macbook Pro, Order/Shipping Thread

[bmustaf]

Mine is headed to Scottsdale and scheduled for Weds, too. Originally scheduled for Thurs but moved to Weds. Currently on UPS81 from ANC-SDF after coming into ANC from Shanghai on same flight.

Same here. I'm in Mesa, AZ. I got the shipped notice from Apple this morning and from UPS overnight. Still no movement. Still in Rialto (I guess) and scheduled for delivery Wednesday.
Anybody know anything about how this works? Perhaps they have moved and they just haven't updated the status.

Those who have it already; what's your impression of the touch bar? One thing I've noticed is that "esc" is almost always there. I find myself reaching up with a pinky as I always would have and tapping it; and being a little 'surprised' to touch glass. But, it's always right where I subconsciously expect it to be.

It could look a little better, honestly. And so far I haven't found it to be tremendously useful. But perhaps as I use it more and more. For example; it actually takes more time to adjust volume and brightness than before; making it a multi-step process I have to look down for instead of something that I can do with a couple of taps of a key. As more apps use it though; that might be a welcome trade for contextual interface elements on the touchbar.

Currently... Useless. I tried so hard to make something out of it but i can't find any use for it. Volume control is pretty annoying. When using chrome, i have this huge empty black space doing nothing and I'm not planning on switching to safari just so i can use the touchpad.

Don't you think Chrome and other apps will take advantage of it in short order?

That's my only hope. It's too early to hate on this thing. It's just there for now until other apps take advantage of it.

Chrome still sucks battery life, and doesn't do a lot of the cool iCloud sync stuff that safari does...

Not entirely sure why anyone would use chrome over safari tbh..

I have used the MacBook for over a year now and I have used the new non Touch Bar MBP for a couple of weeks (from my work), so I will love the rest of the new MBP with the Touch Bar, just hoping I will like the Touch Bar itself.

Because I don't know how to transfer all my saved passwords to safari from chrome.

Isn't Chrome one of the choices when transferring data to Safari upon set up? Have you though about something like 1Password?

Here's what may seem like an odd question.

I noticed that on my UPS tracking info the package is said to weigh .10 pounds!

Anyone else notice that?

 

[MareLuce]

I feel like mine is being neglected just being left out to fend for itself in Shanghai. Delivery went from 18th, to the 17th, back to the 18th in a matter of hours - same tracking status all day.

Still singing those Shanghai Blues!

Like you, my MacBook Pro has been hanging out, waiting to hitch a ride to chez moi since it's export scan 15 hours ago:

Current time = 12:15PM Tuesday November 15 in Shanghai China, and last update =
>> Shanghai, China 11/14/2016 9:07 P.M. Export Scan

Exported but not Departed...
Alas, it will have been a full 24+ hours, hanging out in Shanghai, Exported but not Departed.
It likely will have to wait another 9 hours for it's night time voyage on:

United Parcel Service 81 UPS81
Shanghai Pudong Int'l (PVG / ZSPD) to Anchorage Intl (PANC)
at 09:33PM CST November 15 Shanghai time (7:33am texas time, November 15)​

I bet my little MacBook Pro was hanging out at the bar and missed last night's departure scan / loading opportunity.
Or, maybe it's hanging back, hiding, afraid of the torture I'm about to put it through....

OR, maybe MY MacBook Pro tried to leave, but YOUR MacBook Pros convinced it to stay for a day of frolicking; running amok at the Shanghai airport....

mine also says that. I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm gonna have to. I'll work on that tonight.

I don't think they have moved because all our MBPs are going different places.

It's a bit frustrating for me––my MBP is sitting there just 20 min away.

81 is 4 minutes ahead now.

I just looked at all the UPS planes coming from Anchorage headed towards Kentucky. I counted eight in the air right now. Crazy! That's a lot of packages.

And yet my FEDEX plane has been sitting in Shanghai for 36 hours...

Why didn't you ship mine with UPS Apple?

 

[WolfSnap]

I'm gonna have to. I'll work on that tonight.

Apparently, you need to export from Chrome and import into Firefox. THEN, import from firefox into Safari..

What flight is fedex going? Mines with yours

If you think about it, they are in the US, and in your case, it takes a 20 minute drive to get it right to your doorstep, so why move it now when they could be moving orders that have to travel a further distance in a shorter period of time? I think that we should see some sort of movement or acceptance by tomorrow morning and should have our computers in our hands by wednesday.

 

[acantril]

HI Everyone - as an update, i'm seeing a lot of people talking about shipping. Can anyone give me a super quick summary.

Has anyone got shipment notification for a 15 inch BTO with the 460 GFX...
Same as above, but for NON US....

Might be on the same plane as some of us. What is the current status? Get international release yet?

I got an international release, but nothing else since about 9:39 AM Eastern Time this morning, what does that mean exactly.

81 will technically be closer faster, however 105 has the better approach to the landing
