You know.. this was the perfect way for Apple to upsell you on RAM. They couldn’t get you to do it before, but now they are touting 64GB Graphics Memory! OMG! So, of course, like an idiot I clicked 64 GB RAM. Well done, Apple. Well done.
Rest assured - you are not the only one :)

While I appreciate that the new design does have some throwback to the very first MacBook Pro I ever owned... I honestly don't like the design and especially don't like the lack of a Touch Bar.

Glad I got my 13 when I did.

Now when they stuff all that performance into the Mac Mini, that's a different story all together.

I haven't looked so I don't know what can be added to an order. I just remember getting up at 5AM to order a brand new G5 iMac. I even added WiFi and Bluetooth, and feeling pretty good about that.

Then I discovered that Apple were rushing out stock iMacs, with some long delays for "specials". More than worth the delay but I did suffer a bit when reading about some customers getting their new design iMac weeks ahed of me.

It was worth it though, but these days I'm sleeping in and waiting until Apple has caught up with demand
 
When would the MacBooks be available on Best Buy typically? I have a lot of rewards I’d like to use.

Coming Tuesday, although they can piss off trying to sell me a £20 polishing cloth in checkout.
That probably cost you 2 days additional delivery delay - but hey man a cloth could come in handy
 
I‘m not sure if 14“ or 16“ (mostly used in my studio with external display), and if M1 Pro or Max. It‘s used mainly for Logic Pro X. Recommendations?
 
Notice how much the USB-C Power adapter wattage goes up as get more powerful processors. 16" 10 CPU/16 GPU requires a 140W USB-C Power adapter versus 14" 8 CPU/14 GPU is only 67 Watts.

I am now very curious about battery life on these new models. They claim up to 21 hours battery life against both the 14"/16" models.
 
I ordered the 16" with 64GB memory and 4 TB storage the moment the Education Store become responsive. Delivery date says 11/7-11/17. It was the 64GB that pushed it later than 10/26.
 
FINALLY. Ughhhh, I've been suffering through the Touch Bar and butterfly keyboard for what feels like forever. I went ALL-IN for once. Thank you for the ports, thank you for MagSafe, thanks for the improved keyboard, Touch ID, Webcam upgrade, processor and GPU/RAM updates. Now SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY 🥳

[edit] $6,315.84 all-in fully maxed out specs with AppleCare+, tax and a military discount. More than I spent on my first 3 cars... 🤣
heh I was doing that math last month. Just bought a used 2016 honda pilot for about $25K as much as I paid for my first house! You must have gotten the 16? I'll wait to see how the cpu testing comes out but may sell my
M1 macbook air for the 14" or wait for the new mac mini. Congratulations and enjoy!
 
Gotta resist temptation to not go maxed out
No issues with my Maxed out 13 inch 2015 mbp…..
GAHHH MUST RESIST!

I'm just annoyed that like I predicted (and others) that giving people HDMI/SD card readers and such, meant we were going to lose a TB port in the process.

As many times as I've used all 4 ports on my 16", this is going to be a pass for me. Was really hoping for one of these amazing chips in the Mini, but I guess I'll get to wait more.
 
16 m1 max 32gb 2tb Oct 26th, so psyched. I guess 10 teraflops is going to be roughly equiv to a 2080 or maybe a 3070 for performance. Very interested to compare it to my 3800x / 3090 setup in Davinci. I had an M1 14" 8GB for about 2 weeks and while I was blown away by what it could do in a small package, wasn't quite satisfied with performance so I returned it. I'm hoping this can be something closer to equiv to desktop performance.
 
No binning in the world produces this kind of selection. Working CPU cores but defective GPU? It's purely marketing product segmentation.

they're just pulling the same lineup options a la nvidia or amd
 
Wow. Already into Dec for 16” Max with 64GB / 8TB. It must be selling quickly. I configured as soon as the store went live and it said delivery on the 26th. By the time it allowed me the get to the checkout page my order was already pushed into November.

There must be some binning. You can get the M1 Pro with 6 or 8 performance cores, for example.
 
Hi guys I intend to get the higher spec mbp 14. Could Anyone pls advice me if I’ll need 32gb instead of 16gb off ram pls. Casual user with v occasional video editing. I future proofed my last mb pro by doubling the memory in 2015 and it was useful. But do I really need 32gb ram for every day tasks? Seems a bit excessive
