Early M1 iPad Pro Orders Now Preparing to Ship

I am so excited.
I think my only issue with going 100% to an iPad (and I would do it on this new Pro) is not being able to use the SurferSEO plug-in for one of my writing clients. I have a work PC that I could do it in... but I'm so close to finally saying goodbye to laptops and solely using an iPad!
My delivery date hasn’t changed since the very beginning, June 4-10 all along, confirmation of order email received 39 minutes after site opened for ordering. 12.9”, 512 GB, WiFi, Space Grey. I think that only those who ordered in the first 15 minutes are in the ”earliest” group.
I suspect that I won’t see the “preparing to ship“ update until sometime between May 25-30, unless a miracle happens, and Apple somehow manages to speed things up.

Yeah I think when I’m done with school, I’ll probably use an iPad Pro 12.9/Magic Keyboard combo only. Other than school stuff, I don’t need macOS. But, I think the M1 and Apple silicon in general has brought a lot of excitement back in to the Mac lineup.
And if we do, we'll have something shiny to play with before we return it the following week. Win-win scenario.
Don't project your limited uses for iPad on us, dude.
1) DJ (algorithm)
2) All my Zoom, WebEx, Teams, OfficeHD virtual meetings
3) All my Audio streaming such as Tidal thru a DAC for MQA, iTunes, Amazon Music, and SiriusXM
4) Office email with remote support software when I need to travel light and still get back into work
5) I still like apps over web (HTML) for direct access to News, banking, videos, and social media
Lastly I'm trading in my older iPad Pro for the new one. So, saving on full price here and with the performance increases on M1. This will be a significant upgrade, worth the money in my view.
I cancelled my pre-order ( ordered right as it went live.. ) because I just cannot see how it'll benefit me over the M1 laptops and my good as new 10.5 iPP that has no issues...
Let's see what WWDC brings forth for this new beast of a tablet!
And what do you really work on, when you are not meeting? Anything productive?
Is the new ATV preparing to ship for anybody yet? The first deliveries are also supposed to be May 21-27.
Exactly, just go for the ones on Amazon, trust me, I have been using them for years, they are every bit as good and 5% to 20% of the price.
No, I never purchase accessories from Apple's website, they are unjustifiably overpriced. I ordered from Amazon.
No movement here on the ATV. Possibly they are already in country and won’t ship until day before.
1- Use as a low cost live DolbyVision and HDR10+ reference monitor for my film's color grading (sidecar + Davinci Resolve).
2- QC drone footage in HDR over USB-C on location.
3- QC HDR Thunderbolt SSD drive location video on location.
4- Replace aging laptop for mobile FinalDraft screenwriting.
5- Replace paper as on-set script platform (and video reference).
And yes I'll still use it to watch videos, but in HDR (including my own) when away from my OLED TV.
Also looking forward to expansion of pro apps coming to iPadOS 15.
I have a proper computer, no worries.
WiFi Cell 256Gb 12.9 still processing with 5/21-28 as date range but credit charge from apple just came through. Movement
