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

[eno12]

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

Probably everything. Magsafe uses a form of the USB-PD protocol. The new one uses the latest version, supports higher voltages, and much higher total wattage. Probably easier to redesign the connector then try to make it compatible with a connector that has not been used in a shipping laptop for the last 6 years.

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.

What does the menu bar do when you change the resolution of the screen? Does it remain the same size or does the text scale?

Still waiting on my delivery. I have 22 days

Haha @LFC2020 couldn’t resist!! How’s the notch

Honestly, you don't notice it when using the machine, still hate it though.

It’s a work of art!

Got mine today. Initial delivery date was 29 October. Stock 16 inch M1 Pro, entry level model.

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.

The trackpad grew a to during the 2016 redesign. I heard that it was a little smaller this time.

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.

MagSafe is ugly! Please Apple, remove it.

I like how the notch goes away with a black menu bar.

Is that all it takes to remove the notch when using Safari? If so then I can eliminate the notch as a potential problem. I don't like dark mode though, is that what you need to turn on?

 

[RigSatMe]

Just got mine here! ?

Congratulations. The new one is really fatugly.

 

[RigSatMe]

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 . ?

Congratulations and thanx for the pics. The new chassis design is utterly ugly and way out of all Apple products line.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I quite like it!

It reminds me of my first Macbook (2007 MBP15) which I really enjoyed despite it having some terrible reliability problems (failed dGPU, failed keyboard/trackpad, swollen battery).

Just got mine here! 🎉

DAMN!!! SHE THICK BOYY!!!

i also have a 16" fatgirl mbp on the way

Bar is the same size but text becomes tiny. Looks weird. But sure I will get use to it

Definitely wasn’t in Sydney. In fact now custom spec ones were

 

[howywood]

Bloody hell I can't wait to get mine tomorrow

 

[jdoyle]

Amazing new features like MagSafe, SD Card Reader and HDMI Port. Next year's model has something called an "Optical Drive" included. You stick a shiny disc into it and it writes data to it. Amazing!!!!

 

[kerr]

I like how the notch goes away with a black menu bar.

I have no problem with the notch on the MacBook Pro. I think I will have a problem though if the rumors of a white notch on the 2022 MacBook (Air) come to fruition.

 

[gabripoilu]

Yes you can it’s a new option for Monterey. It’s in the system preferences app under desktop and dock settings

Great news!

 

[n-evo]

Are new MacBook Pro owners getting a macOS Monterey update to 12.0.1 too?

I still miss the little LED lights indicating battery charge levels.

 

[TarkinDale]

What courier are Apple using? I ordered a power cord extension with mine and that's travelling via Australia Post. So far it's taken a week to get from Sydney to Adelaide, and it's still not out for delivery.

Does this really have to be a story every time an Apple product is released

 

[bluegt]

It’s a work of art!

Woww tell us about the Polishing Cloth! How does it compare to other microfibre clothes?

 

[tomwilson]

Cancelled my online order this morning and ordered my base 14 again for pickup. Picked it up at lunch time, it's very nice!
