I must say, any concern about the keyboard is well and truly overblown.
After about 24 hours typing on this keyboard, it's easily one of my favourites. I am so much faster typing on it than I was on my 2011 MBP. The keys are so accurate and easy to press.
The keyboard is a little clicky tho. I imagine it will get quieter with time (or I'll get used to it.)

I placed an order for a 15" 2.7GHz, 1TB, 460 a few weeks back, and delivery is scheduled for Dec. 15+. I walked into my local Apple store this morning and they had the 2.9GHz version of the machine in stock, so I picked it up. Now I need to cancel my other order.
In the end, there's a chance that I'll return this one as well. I have a 12" MB, and will use this new machine much like a desktop 99% of the time. An iMac would probably be a better option, but I'm concerned that shortly after buying an iMac, Apple would announce a non-incremental update.

I ordered it using my Employers Employee online Apple Store but I am not sure if that gives me expedited business shipping. My expected delivery date has been Nov 25th - Dec 2nd.

Hi all!
I ordered my MBP october 28 and have a shipping date dec. 6-12 for now, but not PFS yet.
So I am reading multiple articles, also on this website, stating it impossible to upgrade RAM, SSD etc.
This has me a bit scared looking to the future. I do have apple care, and am 100% fine with the MBP surviving only 3 more years.
I ordered the 15" MBP 2.7gHz(all stock options, advised by an Apple business representative on the phone).
I am a fairly simple user, I download, I netflix, I use mail, Word, Excel, Google Drive and that for 10-14 hours a day (both business and casual).
Currently I hold the magical 17" MBP 2011, in which I can upgrade SSD/RAM which I have done, but still it is becoming a bit slower/older now.
Should I cancel and upgrade, or is it mostly for heavy photoshop/video editors?
Thanks 🙂

I tried the keyboard of the new Macbook Pro at a local Apple Store – and I liked it! Yes, it is louder, but I had no problems at all with key travel. To be honest, I had the impression that I am typing faster on new new butterfly v2 keyboard. Mine still hasn't shipped so I'll need to wait some more days until I can enjoy the new keyboard with its touchbar 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
Order placed 3 AM after announcement - was looking at Nov 28-Dec 5 delivery.
Cancelled yesterday, ordered on B&H (no sales tax) yesterday, and 15" base model arrived today.

My 15" BTO also going to the US went PFS 48 hours ago. Nothing since then unfortunately. I was hoping it would've shipped by now.
Just placed an order with B&H. Supposed to be here on Tuesday! Didn't get an education discount but it was tax free so I went ahead and paid the extra fee for one day shipping and it came out a little over $1 more than Apple.
Was that a base model or BTO? I'm considering doing the same thing if shipping will be that much faster.
15" base. They had some other configuration options on there. I only looked at the 512GB option and it was only still up for pre-order. I didn't look at the rest of the options.

RIGHT? I love the new Keyboard...though I think it could be a little quieter since it could be a little obnoxious typing in a silent room during a meeting lol

Not sure how you count your weeks but the way I count it's been exactly 3 weeks since you ordered

So it says by Standard Shipping right? I talked with a support saying my shipping is still expedited, but with 2-3 shipping date. Still no charge and no PFS.....the words "processing Items" really kills me

Isn't that a BTO so it wouldn't be found in store? I've checked multiable stores and they have 15 inch 2.7ghz versions but the second I change something it says they don't have them. What store did you go to?
sorry to hear, not sure why yours is so delayed. I was hoping everyone who ordered on day 1 should have got by now atleast in usa.
Talked to their support today, seems they don't have any other 15" in stock or even with an ETA
I don't usually get it for most Apple products, but with one this expensive I did. I want to keep it at least 3 years. I had it for my 2012 MacBook Pro and had occasion to use it a couple of times.

I'm leaning toward getting it. The price combined with all the new tech in these makes me feel like I might be better off with it than not, even though I am usually not inclined to pay for extended coverage.
I am not planning on getting it. I have used Apple laptops (and desktops and all the other stuff) for over a decade and have never once needed it. So I'm taking my chances and go without.
