Not a great testimony to speed when you show yourself 4x faster than the 8th gen Intel CPU. I'm pretty sure my Grandmothers walker was 4x faster than that CPU.
if that would be true, than it is on par with what Apple claimed about M1...3-4x time faster than the Intel macbook air 8th gen...but again they compare that is 3x faster/Watt than R series from 2015(and we know those chips were nowhere near as good as the 2019 chips) or 4x times faster than i3 7th gen and under windows 10 that we all know its much "heavier" OS...those claims will not stand in real world
If you ordered everything on the same order which sent you over the CL, all of the orders will be cancelled and you'll have to fractionally order until you get the denial when you exceed your spending potential. They will not send bits and pieces of orders because that was not the way your ordered it, and it would violate your purchase agreement, as well as put the CC charging authority at a higher legal risk. Since it is with your Apple Card call Apple and make sure the entire order is cancelled, if it is with a non-Apple card call that card service center (800 number on the back) and let them know so you don't keep a large credit hold on your card.
I picked up a Mini Mac, not to use for production but because I want to use it to write some test code. I can see a world where these things will be used in heavy server side applications.Don't need to be an early adopter on this one. Gonna wait and see how the experience is for others
Best of luck!
I think I am getting my device in mid December. I hope the date moves up a bit.

Agreed, and you'd think that Apple would be better at Apple to Apple comparisons. I despise the open attempts to deceive by Apple. What I want to know is how much faster in the top two benchmark tests the M1 is than the A14Z, for me that is the only comparison that matters. The iPad Pro 12.9 2020 that my wife has smokes most Intel 10th Gen CPU's, so that should be the real world comparison for Apple. If the M1 is fractionally faster than the A14Z that is a win, unless the fraction is between 1-10% faster, at which point you're just Alice chasing the Rabbit.
Same here. They have been providing A chips for years. It gives me confidence that the M1 chip will be pretty stable. I guess we'll find out soon.Waves hand, early adopter here. For $999 why not? The M1 is clearly the future for Apple, so I would rather find out sooner or later if it is my future or if I need to upgrade my Intel Macs before they are gone. If I like it, score! Old air gets recycled. If I hate it, will know soon and then I return it. In the meantime, definitely will be fun or at least interesting. I am not one to sit on the side lines and expect my experience to match others
Me too. I had ordered the new Mac Mini based on a keynote high but cancelled it. The lack of ram expansion or ability to order with more than 16GB plus 2 less thunderbolt ports were my reasons for cancelling.

I would say it's pretty likely that will be the in-store demo launch since that's the day specified on the website.
I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max on order and when I saw the delivery date of Dec 3-12th I was a bit pissed. When Apple says "Shipping this Friday," a great qualifier would be to say where from. Another opportunity for Apple to improve on their customer service would be to say iPhones, MacBooks, Mac mini's start arriving in the US on X Date, and will ship to homes and businesses on Xa Date arriving in 3-7 business days. But Apple does not care about truth in retail, they are all about the polish of presentation, and the show. If they can hook us gullible folk who still buy and use their products with half-truths, and deny product development as well as user OS issues, they will continue to do so.
