But I’m already in my pajamas... 🤣
It looks like I actually have until Thursday to return it.
I’m sure they’ll run out by then, but at least it gives me time to back up everything and restore my MacBook to factory settings without rushing.
Got a tip for us?

If this is true then in part I'm happy to hear that this might be a replacement for the 15" because that suggests that the prices may be like the 15" and not above. But at the same time this would mean it would follow the same thin design craziness as the 15". I want it thicker with better cooling and overall cheaper to make and easier to repair.
Well there is always hope now that jonny ive is out that we get actually good design.

Yep, it’s in their standard Australian Store return policy. Make sure you don’t forget to take a copy/print out the receipt.
I'm reading the description that it will "appeal to gamers" as confirmation of a new GPU...
Sorry... by retro keyboard I mean the scissor keyboard not the butterfly keyboard, and by MagSafe, I mean a USB C version of MagSafe so I don't have to buy the aftermarket Griffen version.
I’ll believe it when I see it, Apples current marketing has the following:
“Play a graphics-intensive game like Fortnite and enjoy responsive performance and vivid detail”
That’s about on par with their iPhone marketing for gaming, which can also can run fortnite, if I am not mistaken. I’m not much of a gamer, but Cartoon-like graphics to me does not seem too “graphics intensive”.
Unless Apple incorporates legitimate cooling, it doesn’t matter what is in it, it will underperform. I genuinely hope Apple fixes the problems their blind pursuit of “thin” has created. Fix the keyboard. Fix the thermals. Fix the repairability. I’d also like to see return of at least one legacy port. Sucks to have to break out a hub for just about everything.
Well, thicker (and heavier) is probably not going to happen. Apparently, Apple is OK in making iPhones bigger, but laptops is another story (and it has some sense, as laptops may be heavy to carry around, especially 15 and 16-inchers).

That one would be really nice. And it is probably happening, but the 16-inch will likely come first.
LOLWUT?? December has always been fall. December is not winter. Who even wrote your book??
I have to agree with you. Storage of the 15-inch model begins at 256 GB since 2012, when Apple released the 15-inch retina MacBook Pro. It is over 7 years now that the storage is the same.

16.4 inches? I do not now where this additional 0.4 inch comes from. There have been some 16.4-inch 16:9 laptops, but the display ratio is different from the one used by Apple (16:10).
I suppose the 13-inch model will be replaced by a 14-inch one. If Apple goes this trend of reducing bezels, then the 13-inch MacBook Pro will be the next in line. And Apple is probably going to do it, as most competitors are already doing it.
This sure appears to be true. All Best Buy’s in the Minneapolis area are out of the 15” model. B&H only has a couple models that are discounted almost indicating an Apple price drop. Should be a fun Wednesday.
Seriously, would it kill to go back to inverted-T arrow keys, now that Jony has left the building? 🤷🏻♂️
Right on. I hate technicalities. BS crap. Technically I am married but when I’m at a bar I’m single in my book.
As for this notebook, whatever mechanism they use I want the stability of the butterfly keys. Not going back to wobbly keys. I also like shallow travel since I type about 3000 words a day.
And keep it thin! It’s a mobile device. I do not like schlepping 6 pounds of computer all day.

I agree, Apple is taking on gaming once again with the iOS game store to virtual reality with a computer. When you walk into a Best Buy store, PC gaming has grown large even the Target stores. Apple knows that this market sells high end computers so if you build a laptop that has gaming capability it will sell. And Apple has two partners, Intel and AMD that can help them deliver the goods with fast processors and fast GPU units.
