Doesnt matter...go for the 5500M it has 8gbvram GDDR6 for just 200$
Mine arrives Monday
I ordered one. The nice thing about Apple is that you can return them. And I can try to make my employer to pay for it anyway
I am my employer, so my employer is paying for mine!
Also, need some additional deductible expenses to reduce the tax bill.Probably. The butterfly keyboard has been driving me nuts since the first MacBook 12. I am likely to buy the new MBP and trade it in for a 13 whenever that is released with the new keyboard. I don't need all this screen size or power. But I do need to love or at least like my keyboard. I am a writer.
Is it possible to get that config with 512gb? I am seeing 1TB as minimum size for hard drive.
Luckily I'm not in immediate need of a new computer, my 2015 is still going strong, just too tight on storage space now. I want to wait it out to WWDC, let it bed in, see if there's a 15" Air or how I might feel about a 14" Pro before just dropping the cash on this, even though I'm a lot happier about it than I was previously. Having said that, if in the intervening months there's any deals knocking £1-200 off I'm probably inevitably going to end up going for it xD
Price is great. Much more bang for buck than the 15" MBPs. They were $2499 for 16GB/512MB. That config is now $2199. $2599 now gets 8-core\16GB\1TB
I do a lot of my main work on Windows 10. But on a desktop with 2 monitors, 32GB of memory, 2 TB of NVME drive. After 20 years of using Windows and Office everything just feels natural. Plus the only good keyboard for me is one with Cherry MX switches, and the only mouse is a big old Logitech MX 2s.
But for travel and working remote the MBP works fine.
So like my investments, I like both MSFT and AAPL.
Yesterday I literally just picked up my i9/16/512/Vega 20 refurb for $2,679
I’m exchanging it for this:
Not bad for an extra $10

How did you get in store pick up? I looked earlier and shipping only and I just looked again and it's still the same...
I am waiting for in store pickup as I'll save $200 in sales tax...
Edit: Disregard I figured it out.. BTO offers in store for me of Dec 2 but I am looking at the base 16" and no dice on it..

I ordered a new MBP on Nov 2nd and did in-store pickup on Nov 3rd. I should be good to go with a in-store return this Friday on the 15th? I will have to repurchase another time since I'm not counting on my config being available in store this time (32gb ram, 1tb storage, maxed video).
It won’t be delivered to the Apple store until the 27th... I live in Pennsylvania but I’m picking it up in Delaware... no sales tax😬
Discipline for me here is key.
I always go for a good sale or a refurb price.

In short order, it is going to get heavy on eBay with butterfly keyboard models..
(For anyone who wants to purchase a problem - no thx)

I have thought about it, learning a lesson from being a day 1 impulse buyer of the 2016 MBP I am not doing it again. Whether I buy today or next month, makes no difference to me right now.
I have done my bit for the Apple Guinea Pig program, now it's for others to do it whilst I watch and determine whether as a result, I want to buy.
