First MacBook Pro Orders Arriving to Customers in New Zealand, Australia and Asia

[Suxamethonium]

My thick boi 14" Pro just arrived, first thing I did was fired up some HDR video and the display is amazing. Really happy with the size as well, it's just a little bigger than my old 13" M1 Air. The keyboard is very nice and already don't notice the notch.

Time to put it through it's paces some more in the coming days!

Just got mine here! ?

Can post a picture showing laptops upside down, comparing there thickness. The feet on the new MacBook Pro are taller and that can give the impression the laptop is that much thicker then it really is. By the way, congrats on your new MacBook Pro.

I just want to see an ifixit teardown of the new MagSafe so we can learn what was wrong with the old MagSafe.

Do people find the massive trackpads useful? To me, it looks too big!

One thing that was wrong was no detachable cable. Glad that is fixed.

I thought I saw something saying it's the same size as the previous MBPs.

Thought the new trackpad was actually smaller. ??‍♂️

Anyway, congratulations everyone!!

I’ll need to wait for like 4 weeks for my 16” because I decided it was smart to change my pre-order again and again and again and again. ?

“hell”

Lol

Reminds me of this:

Why was Apple's first computer sold for $666.66?

apple i apples first computer was sold for 66666 when it was released as the companys cofounder steve wozniak quotliked repeating digitsquot additionally a onethird markup on the 500 wholesale price came to be around 666 according to reports 66 cents were further added to make it an...

Mark of the beast. Probably did it in honor of Steve.

Thanks for this! My 14" is replacing the same model as yours. I will miss the old girl, she was a good sidekick. I'll miss the lightness of it, but I'm ready for the power!

Anyone received a BTO with 4TB of storage?

Sure no problem. Here are a couple pics.

Definitely looking forward to using this laptop and comparing it with my old 2019 MBP. Still updating software and getting the basics installed . ?

I must say that the new MacBook Pros are not just slightly thicker 😂

Is New Zealand ever going to get an Apple store? Auckland has a population of ~1.5m, surely they could do with one.

It’s just taper, my man.

It’s like falling for plastic surgery when we all know that the previous MBP was a fattie inside, too. ?

Apple is selling stock configurations of the new machines in its retail stores, and there are also some higher-end BTO configurations that may be available depending on the store. Most people who want a custom configured machine will need to order online and wait, however.

Guess we find out what the stores carry.

The fullscreen behavior on the new MBP is much nicer than how Apple was handling it before!

I always hated when my cursor got too close to the top of the screen it would constantly shift up and down to show the menubar.

I think this improved full screen mode. You have a lot less jumping around than before when the menu had to appear over the app. It’s also better for people who get to full screen by accident by clicking the green window icon. They often don’t know what happened and how to get things back. This way they can easily find the menu and either switch to windowed mode or at least exit the app.

Not loving the sheen in the aluminum on the new MacBook Pros. Matte is far more refined and is also less prone to fingerprints. Hope it’s not as satiny looking in person. Maybe it’s just the curves and lighting.

Congratulations, Ya’ll! It’s a special day for us tomorrow in the United States

Glad to see MagSafe making its come back! Such a big satisfaction! I can’t wait!!! That green/orange light matters.

Strange the SG comes with a silver adaptor.

Can’t wait to see an option to revert to full menu bar and leave notch to be nearly completely invisible all the time.

Purchased two of the Macbook Pro 16 - M1 Pros.
Waiting patiently for their arrival.

I ordered a base config and a BTO max with 4TB, the base is due today and the delivery for the BTO says Friday 29th

 

[Mr. Dee]

I want one, but I have to wait until 2025! Enjoy it folks, will be going to the store on Saturday to play with it.

I do!

For example, today I wanted to drag an image from Safari to Keynote I had in another space. I held down the image on the trackpad with one finger, and then swiped left with my other hand with 4 fingers... and then dropped the image. It was pretty intuitive.

Not sure when Apple went from normal to massive trackpad, I find it ridiculous. No need for it to be so close to the front of the laptop, that's my main problem with it, I want somewhere for my palm to rest.
