If they would ditch the bezel, I'd be all over it. I already have a 13" that works just fine. If I'm going to uprgade, I'm going to upgrade!
If the money is the same I would pick the MacBook Pro over the Air every time. Better cooling system for less thermal throttling and more performance.
The Air and Pro have some differences that some prefer one over the other outside of raw specs or performance so debating which is better, or a better deal isn't going to do anything since it's entirely subjective.
Yes, I incorporated all of these requirements within my testing.It is a theoretical max which may not reflect an actual set up. To achieve max throughput the Access points must be set to 5G, support 3x3 MIMO, be set to 80Mhz channel width, and you need to have the mac close to the Access Point. And of course, if you are going out to internet the connection must consistently support the data rate.
One thing I noticed is at Best Buy that only the Space Gray is on sale. If you select Silver the cost goes back up to $1799.
If you use the link from the OP, you can get the silver model at 1599 through there. I noticed going through the site from home page does just change price to 1799.
Best Buy has an amazing return policy, just order the silver as well and return the SG when you get it.... dont settle. I used to be a space grey guy, but the silver is iconic.Thanks.
Unfortunately I cannot cancel my order for the space gray model. I was hoping to get it in silver to avoid confusion with my Space Gray 16" when looking from across the room.

I'm curious if these ship from China like the ones purchased directly from Apple, or if it's coming from a US warehouse.Mine shows shipped. Arriving by 6/10
Mine shows shipped. Arriving by 6/10
Hopefully arrives earlier! Which state are you in? Mine is still ship by 6/10, but the "Make Shipping Changes" is greyed out now.
Mines coming from a best buy warehouse in NY, set to arrive FridayI'm curious if these ship from China like the ones purchased directly from Apple, or if it's coming from a US warehouse.
I am in California. Shows shipped via FEDEX so I hope it comes sooner.
Haven’t had that happen but two packages that were suppose to arrive Monday weren’t delivered until today. I’ve never had an issue with ups but I assume most delays now are because of the pandemic situation.So I just had a weird thing happen...I decided to take advantage of the sale and ordered the base model last night. I paid the premium for UPS next day air shipping with a delivery date of 6/4.
I received a notification from both Best Buy and UPS this morning that my order had shipped...however about two hours ago I got an email from Best Buy stating that UPS was returning my order back to them...I checked my tracking number through UPS and it stated there was a service disruption and the package was being returned to sender. Anyone ever run into this with Best Buy before?

Mine shows shipped! I did free shipping which is Fedex ground. The unit left a warehouse in Conklin, NY at midnight. It passed through the FEDEX location at Northhampton, PA this AM. Tracking shows June 10th delivery.
Does Apple do price matching???I hope the delivery goes smoothly for you! Mine still hasn't shipped and your tracking suggests it's gonna be another 7 day wait after it ships for me. Kinda wish I tried price matching at Apple instead of ordering from Best Buy.
By the way, when did you order? I did it Monday morning when the sale started too.

I order Monday around noon, but in Space Gray.
FWIW, my order of the base system from Apple took 12+ days to get to me. Had to come from China and spend days waiting in Shanghai and then a few more in Louisville.
