First M1 Apple Silicon Macs Now Arriving to Customers

[sfwalter]

Still not shipped mine, sitting at 'preparing to ship', meh!

Same here. Either the upgraded ram or SSD it’s probably the cause

 

[radus]

Even if we can not use the M1 Macs for our work anymore (we need Windows X86 comaptibility) - I will test it and use it at home.

 

[Realityck]

Whoa. Looking forward to some real world experience reviews

Hopefully we can see side by side comparisons on Youtube soon.

I did the same. I need X86 for various applications, but I bought a base Air with upgraded ram for home/personal use.

It is the default Big Sur wallpaper.

Not on my MBP install in the US it wasn't. What appeared was what is on the half-closed Mac in the first pic in the article and what Apple have usually showed in presentations - a garish, stylized technicolor thing in orange/red.

I did a Geekbench test today on my hackintosh setup that’s running a 5Ghz i7 8700k, 32GB ram, etc. Single and multi core are both a tad lower than the scores that these machines are getting. It’s mind blowing. But also exciting!

 

[Lucas284]

Definitely waiting for a mac mini review.

 

[DotCom2]

How exciting for the peeps that are getting one! CONGRATS!~

 

[locrumo]

Back to the age of Motorola. 🙌 And if it can run W10 i will get 5 of them.

 

[kazmac]

Nice! May everyone enjoy them.

My M1 MBA is due tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear about the M1 Mac Mini.

No it isn't

Writing staff once again forget that other timezones exist.

 

[KoolAid-Drink]

Is the hard disk still called “Macintosh HD” by default?

 

[waquzy]

Still no reviews though?

Yeah what's up with that? Coming tomorrow maybe?

 

[gnasher729]

What I would hope for is that some MacMini owner runs GeekBench, but not once, but ten times in a row - to see if the Mac gets hot and has to slow down.

And then tell us how long the battery lasts when you do that

 

[dannyyankou]

Writing staff once again forget that other timezones exist.

There's literally a tweet in the article of someone saying they received it a day early

 

[iapplelove]

I want a new iMac, was ready to pull the trigger on one about a month ago. Going to wait it out now.

 

[imola.zhp]

Awesome, waiting for updated 14" (previously 13") machine.

 

[BWhaler]

Dawn of a new era. Very exciting. And after years of neglict, it’s nice to see Apple taking the Mac seriously again. (The tell has been it’s the only product they have to say how much they love it, how they really, really love it, every single time it’s mentioned in a keynote.

Now please dump the Touchbar. It was a bad idea at conception, and has not gotten better. Innovators learn from their errors, so should Apple.

It would be really fun to have one of these to test out, but I'm not going to shell out to be a guinea pig for the next year! I'll gladly wait. Seems promising, though, especially if these are the lower-end configs only. My biggest gripe is the RAM but I think they'll address that later.

My thoughts as well.
When Apple moved to Intel people were excited to get the Core Duo only to see it replaced with the Core2Duo 5 months later with faster speeds and higher RAM.

My understanding is they neglect it because of several reason, for instance, they were preoccupied with building the spaceship, Joni not interested in his job anymore amongst other reasons.

What is absolutely INSANE is that these are the LOW END models they started with and they are faster than the top model 16 inch MacBook Pro.

Imagine the power a 16inch MB Pro and battery life with the space available.

Not to mention the D1 desktop class first gen Apple Silicon.

Still waiting on my HomePod Mini. I know, totally wrong thread. But just watched Crew1 demo and there's really nothing to be mad about! I hope y'all enjoy y'alls M1 Macs. I'm holding out for a 16" =D

 

[xander09]

I keep checking to see if my 16/256 mini ETA has moved up, but nope, holding steady at 12/11. 😫🤞

 

[bugFinder]

Ordered the base model MBA immediately after the event (I'm in US). The order page still looks like this... Wonder what criteria Apple used to discriminate some customers against other "lucky" guys.
