First M1 Apple Silicon Macs Now Arriving to Customers

Hmmm, well being that the MacMini doesn’t have a battery I assume it will last forever...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
"Theoretically Mini M1 should be fastest when sustaining longer load, since it doesn't affected from battery constraints and probably have bigger fans compared with MBP."
If they can be bothered to properly apply thermal paste, or house the fan near the heatsink (MacBook Air anyone?). Really hoping they do a good job this time. My current Mac Mini runs crazy hot thanks to their sloppy work.

Cool, and great for all yo guys who pulled the trigger ... looking forward now to real-world user feedback and performance data
Just because you ordered immediately after the event does not mean you were quicker than hundreds, maybe even thousands of othersOrdered 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.

But there is almost no other post complaining like I do... Is it because people are more patient, or is it that you guys on MacRumor are so enthusiastic that everyone here ordered faster then me?...
There's more to it than just when you ordered it. You have to consider that there were hundreds/thousands of others ordering around the same time, and when data is multiplied over many servers around the world, exact order is not always guaranteed. This wouldn't be a discrimination issue, but a data distribution one.Ordered the base model MBA immediately after the event (I'm in US). The order page still looks like this...

I really enjoy the Touchbar. Use it everyday. Could be better used by Apple and other developers? For sure. But I believe it is nice to have.
Me too. I especially like having much finer control over volume and brightness via the sliders. Much better than the discrete steps of dedicated buttons. Also, if you give presentations having the tiny slide preview turns out to be pretty useful.
I am happy of these news, I ordered mine a couple of days ago. Beside this 'GeForce GTX 1050 Ti' was a basic cheap Nvidia base card, now four years old. So, let's measure enthusiasm and words. Of course this is the best macbook up to now, and it's great that M1 outperforms Intel i9 without consuming energy, but it's not yet a monster chip capable of super graphic performance. But it's good, I agree.
To me the best news up to now is that Apple produced a wonderful machine at a reasonable price. And that's a novelty, I say it firmly from the top of my abundant thirtyfive years of Apple purchases! The future seems brighter for us.

wow, this guy gets his Air early and then decides to go to bed. Why on earth?!
Sled dogs are carnivores, not metalvores.
Yeah I just don't see that happening here in 5 months or even a year.
ARM version of VM isn't going to help run x86. You'll be able to virtualize other ARM systems. x86 hardware would need to be emulated, which is possible (and coming), but would be a pretty big performance hit.
The more interesting thing is that Windows on Arm will likely be licensed once (if ever?) it's up to snuff. If/when this happens, I imagine a rebirth of bootcamp.
Apparently, having the fastest Macs ever available to you does not make for quicker product reviews.
So they are using different shippers. Mine is via UPS. Originally, it was scheduled for delivery today, but later changed to tomorrow. It went to Anchorage first to clear the customs, then transferred to Louisville, KY for an import scan. Left Louisville at 4 PMish today local time. Let’s hope that I’ll receive it tomorrow then.
