AirPods 3 and New 14-Inch and 16-Inch MacBook Pro Models Now Available for Pre-Order

Nov 3-5.... I'm glad the MagSafe plugs into USB-C adapter instead of being hard wired.... if you damage the cord, it won't be as expensive to replace.

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.

i really didnt want hdmi back on. there's a number of reasonable ways to get hdmi on the go with usb-c, and if one is actually needing an hdmi connection, the laptop has to be stationary somewhere anyway. sd cards at least had some form of an excuse, but i think it is unnecessary.

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.

When would the MacBooks be available on Best Buy typically? I have a lot of rewards I’d like to use.

They were avail day and date in my experience, but only in stock configs which is a downside for some people.

 

[mguzzi]

Wow - It's fast and the new chips are pretty great but that is one ugly laptop I can't wait to see the side by sides to the current one on YouTube.

 

[MacRumorUser78]

Wow, I'm trying to remember last time the store was this slow

Order confirmation received 11:06. Fast enough. Delivers: Nov 3 - Nov 5 by Standard Delivery

Replacing 2013 MBP. $340 trade-in if condition confirmed.

I was able to order my 14" on the education site before the main site was even updated. Pretty painless (except for the pain in my wallet).

I wanted a Mac Mini with those specs, but I guess there is nothing for me this year.

Me too, but suspect supply chain issues are just too strong right now to offer a new-gen M1 mini right this moment.

Depending on demand, potentially that could change with a no-event release, but it's probably not likely until early next year. Suspect the design is already done as well as the tooling as it's really just the laptop board going into the cube. No screen, low audio, no keyboard - relatively easy-peasy.

 

[Spock]

Until Windows support comes, if ever, a new Mac is not of much use to me. I pretty much only use my current one for gaming.

Its almost like Apple wants you to use the Mac OS on the Mac, how strange...

 

[Johnny907]

I’d rather pay 771USD more for my MacBook Pro, and have free healthcare… than pay 30,000USD for child birth but get 771USD discount on my laptop.

Can’t have it all 🤓

None of my children have cost 30k. Not sure what news program you're getting your numbers from, but they're wrong.
I point it out in case, you know, knowing what you're talking about matters to you.

The base model ($1999) 14" is priced at 23995 crowns in Sweden, or about $2770.

Wow.

That’s including a 25% sales tax that is not included in the US price.

 

[csadangi]

Just ordered the base 14" model in Canada. Placing the order was a breeze.

 

[Johnny907]

Out of curiosity I priced out my M1 16GB/1TB MBA as a trade in. $740. Bugger right off with that, Apple, seeing how you'd be reselling it in the refurb shop for twice that. That's just insanity.

Except it’s not Apple that’s causing the issue. It’s Microsoft.

Craig Federighi says Windows can run natively on M1 Macs but is 'really up to Microsoft' - 9to5Mac

While the transition to Apple Silicon has been impressively smooth overall for the first M1 Macs, a big lingering question...

You always lose out when you upgrade specs unfortunately, best trade in value comes from the base models.

 

[toxotis700]

is there 14" MBP with MAX cpu/gpu ?

 

[tripleh3lix]

I hate that this is this much.. was ready to order and saw the price.

Oh well, M1 will have to do!

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Around 3 years after the iPad Pro (3th gen), still no FaceID for the MacBook Pro (1999$).
Windows has its own Face unlocking system (Windows Hello) since 2015.

In my opinion, very disappointing for a company such Apple.

‘Windows Hello’ is nothing like Face ID. Different technology that’s nowhere near as advanced - it can even be fooled by holding an image to the camera.

 

[mango316]

Well ordered my 16" M1 Max 64GB 1TB - said to deliver nov 3-5.

Dang! Same specs as your but Nov13-17! I wonder what the earliest delivery date out there for folks with similar specs like our?!?

 

[dn325ci]

Ordered. Will the new 14" MBP still charge over USB-C or only Magsafe?

 

[DrV]

Just ordered a 16” Max 32 GB 1 TB. Shipping estimate between Nov 11 and 18. Price close to 3.5 k€ (ex VAT) including Apple Care+.

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

Upgrade, trust me. I've been using MBP with M1 and Mac Mini with M1, both maxed out at 16 GB RAM and I can't go more than 2-3 days without being told I am out of system memory and apps (even M1-optimized apps) being forced closed. I'm not talking about it prompting me to close apps (though that happens), I'm talking about coming back to the computer an hour or two later and discovering half the apps I had open/running no longer open/running. I've lost work as a result of this if the system is unable to recover, as is often the case if app doesn't have cloud-saving built-in.

Haha, that’s like saying “My tumour didn’t cost me a dime”…

While the person across the street had to have open brain surgery for 200,000 USD.

Don’t be silly. I am pretty sure you get my point in my argument. Yes, we pay a **** load of tax in Sweden, but we have free healthcare, school and university.

A part of the sales tax on a new MacBook Pro goes to that.

My free university degree laid the foundation of getting me the job that allows me to afford that MacBook.

 

[Brenzo]

Ordered. Will the new 14" MBP still charge over USB-C or only Magsafe?

Both, but looks like only Magsafe (and only if you go with the bigger power adapter) support the fast charge capabilities (50% in ~30 minutes).

 

[Tanax]

That’s including a 25% sales tax that is not included in the US price.

1999 * 1.25 = ~2500.
2770 - 2500 = $270 difference, for what? Shipping? Hardly costs 270 in the volumes that Apple sends. Currency fluctuations? Maybe. But that's one hell of a margin

Was expecting pre orders to open on Friday. Good luck to everyone purchasing the new Macbook Pros
