So I was eyeing the M2 MBA and it seems that I ordered one last night by accident when I was drunk. Not sure what to do now about it then I guess waiting for it to arrive and try it out for 2 weeks and then probably return it. I really overpaid for this thing considering I can get a 14” MBP cheaper.

One thing is for sure, this machine is going to clash alot with the 12.9 M1 iPad Pro in terms of use case (light tasks).

Call Apple. If unable to cancel merely refuse delivery or return.

You may want to give it a try first. I ordered mine fully expecting to return it due to the type of work I do and it's now my main machine.

I've ran Houdini sims in this for hours, animated and rendered in Blender, edited 4k video, made music in Logic with plenty of tracks, did tons of development work and played some games. This machine is so much more powerful than people realize.
 
is the cancel button already gone?

I guess you can either refuse the FedEx delivery or just take it to the Apple Store once it arrives.

Drunk ordering was probably better than my drunk dialing my former girlfriend at 1AM a few months ago.(in which I confessed to her that I was still very much in love with her.... unfortunately, her husband was on the extension phone and overheard the entire conversation)

Never drink and surf😂
 
I’ll let it ship and get to use it for 2 weeks before sending it back using the standard 14-day return process.

I returned the one I ordered for my wife (she didn't want it) and made US$27 on the exchange rate differences.

whilst increasing prices for everyone else, thanks

shareholders don't eat the cost of unnecessary deliveries & returns

I'm not sure what I should have done. Am I the first person ever to have had to return an unwanted gift?

Oh, Thank God. I was worried my own selfish actions might have had the effect of reducing my Apple dividends.

Lesson learned, no going on apple.com while drunk 😂
 
While I understand the idea of making bad decisions while drunk this post was really hard to take serious.

If you were really not happy with your decision you could have canceled your order the next day.

In any case I hope you enjoy whatever you end up with.

Let's be honest, we all know it was no accident. Anyone who's read your posts before, know you've been searching for a reason to get this laptop for awhile now.
 
I think if you bust it open and use it you will NOT return it. It’s very powerful. Super lite! Looks good. And here is the kicker I picked up the new pros in store and i absolutely don’t like them. All I have ever had were top end pro models. I go into the store thinking ok the 14 is the one. I go to pick up the computer and almost cut myself on the fan vent that’s on the sides on the computer. It’s seriously sharp and in a bad spot.

So I got a M2 MBA 16gb ram and 1tb. It’s so nice!

So yeah open it up!!! Lets us know how you like it cause it’s not going back :)

For me sounds like the best excuse so far for getting a MBA M2. :)
 
Sounds like an excuse you give to your partner, "I swear honey, I had a few, and was surfing on Apple's website". Good luck with that.
