First Touch Bar MacBook Pro Orders Now Preparing for Shipment [Updated]

[matteomanfredi]

Hi. Mine is also still processing. Anyhow, I would like to know if anyone can already see his device at getsupport.apple.com? Thanks for the information.

Greetings from Berlin

Why should you see it? It hasn't even shipped yet!

 

[macTW]

Of course they had strong preorders. It's the result of pent up demand caused by limiting the supply of new MacBook Pros for 18 + months.

False...

If these laptop weren't "outstanding," consumers have proven over the last few years they will wait for next year's model, every year. The fact that this laptop has historic preorders shows it's expected to be an amazing product.

Here you go one more time, in case you had a bad day. 😀

The SSD is definitely not upgradeable, as well as the RAM. The SSD is not overpriced, though, considering the performances!

The SSD is not currently upgradable. It's not soldered to the board so third party options could (and likely will) become available down the road should there be enough demand.

 

[macTW]

Do you really think apple will allow users to upgrade machine?

Do you really think apple SHOULD allow users to upgrade machine?

Corrected your question. Consumers have every right to do anything to their machine, as does Apple in the engineering and design. Don't like it, hackintosh or get used to windows 10 (or linux). Can't have everything in the world you want.

Just wanted to know. 😉 If a device is registered to your account, maybe you can already see it. As far as I remember, I was able to see my last device before shipping last time.

 

[macTW]

I don't want one of these, so I really don't care about this machine. Meanwhile, I'm having all sorts of Bluetooth problems with my iPhone 7. Maybe apple should fix what it already has before coming out with new useless junk. apple won't be around for another year, i'm very sure of that.

Lol. Would you like to put money on that absurd claim?

From what you can see in the images shown during the event, the SSD on the Touch Bar models is in a different position than the non Touch Bar model already out. No one knows if it will be soldered on, but the 12" MacBook has it soldered, why shouldn't this?

I think now it works differently, the Mac is registered when activated...

Tried one of the non-Emoji bar 13" ones in-office today. It's a thing of beauty, it really is. Only the 256 model and yet the SSD speeds are ludicrous too.

Did someone say Ludicrous speed?

 

[james90755]

I would welcome a PC equivalent if I had faith in its longevity and OS. Otherwise I'm putting up with an obsolete machine

This is a good point; I had forgotten this being one main reason why I converted long ago. My three year old still looks and drives as if new. I used to wear out PCs.

I really want a new MBP 15 and can justify it, but my 2012 MBP i7 8/512 is still more the adequate. Only needs a battery...

Jingle bells, Dongles all the way, jingle bells, dongles all the way. Happy Xmas

Hey, they're the perfect size for a stocking stuffer.

Cool your MacBook has the same capacity as my iPhone.

 

[JustaTecho]

Dang it, no change in mine yet, and I ordered within 30 minutes of store open....

Ah well patience I will have, more troll comments to read there is...

I'm aware but I'm operating under the assumption it's going to be more similar to the non-touch bar model than the the previous completely different Macbook product line. Of course, I could be completely wrong. Everything is speculation until someone opens one up. I'll likely have mine next week and am more than happy to open it up and confirm but I'm sure someone else will likely beat me to it.

But what if the person who ordered one already has accessories with Thunderbolt 3 and USB C?

 

[puckhead193]

The real question is... will you get the new MacBook Pro before you get your iPhone 7+ Jet Black? Lmao

makes you wonder what's going on with apple supply chain

 

[Rocketman]

Thunderbolt hub required.

 

[The Big Guy]

Mine is also preparing for shipment. Delivery to store November 25th. 15" fully loaded.

The food always taste better when your are starving philosophy.

 

[MrGuder]

I bet come Jan/Feb 2017 there will be plenty in stock with no wait, this is just the usual new product launch and holiday season back order dates.

 

[Rocketman]

Touch bar yields are initially low. Long and skinny is new. It will ramp.

 

[Jens1983]

Please post, if any 13-inch MacBooks are preparing for shipment. 😉

 

[jermwhl]

Still nothin' for me. Nothing charged to my card and no change in shipping status. Sigh.

 

[ZMacintosh]

anyone's Apple store have these on demo at all?
