MacBook Pro Late 2016 EU shipping

[technoholic]

Anyone?

Update on the speakers - don't believe all that stuff about cosmetic speakers grilles:

1. It sounds better than the rMB speakers (and that had the best speakers of any MacBook)
2. If you cover the bottom of the grilles the sound is clearly muffled so sound is coming out of them
3. The bass comes from the air vent region

Also:

The first thing everyone should do (in my humble opinion) is replace the useless Siri with Spotlight on the Touch Bar!

Mine came with System Integrity Protection disabled so Apple still hasn't fixed that.

Touch Bar is looking better from a normal typing distance. Just don't do what I did and start inspecting it up close!

probably best to move actual received MacBook discussions to the EU owners thread now

Finally the forgotten orders are processed in 'Dam!

BTW, all you lucky folk who received 15" today (460 preferred), can you confirm there is no lag when scrolling through applications folder and all those folders that someone has reported lag on? You can private message me with that too

However I think one of my keys is not working properly, I actually forgot the name. The one over FN, because it seems really inconsistent.

Do you mean the Shift key, used to capitalise letters?

I wish I could see that estimated delivery date on the DHL Express tracking too.

OK, DHL page says: Delivery tomorrow by the end of the day and Apple page is cought in a space and time continuum. Among them I will get it on 18th of November (playing the sound of the old star trek series in the background)
Anyway: it will arrive tomorrow evenning - great!

Finally

I wouldn't put you waybill on here...

 

[NoWayBehind]

Do you mean the Shift key, used to capitalise letters?

Yes, I literally held down the key and letters would stop capitalizing every 1 or 2 seconds, even when I didn't stop holding it down. However it seems fixed now, maybe I just had to type on it. I will keep an eye on it and hope it was me getting used to the keyboard, or something else unimportant. Will report back if it changes again.

Retina is defined by that it should be hard or not possible to see pixels at normal viewing distance, so up close it will look more blurry even if its classed as retina

That's cool but unfortunately my DHL Tracking only says shipment info received and the Apple order page status is Shipment dispatched

 

[patz00]

Out for Delivery since 7 hours :/

 

[LFMS]

Ordered 15" base model on the 27th October, estimated delivery 25 Nov. - 2 Dec.

Still stuck at Processing Items…

(This order is in France)

I ordered a BTO with the same delivery window and it's still stuck as well. (UK here)

You're probably right, but can you even do anything with it?

Mind removing it from your quote? I told deleted it on imgur, but it's not broken the link.

Retina is defined by that it should be hard or not possible to see pixels at normal viewing distance, so up close it will look more blurry even if its classed as retina

I'm aware; but the PPI of the Touch Bar is significantly less than the display.

 

[renascens]

Anyone in the 24th Nov - 1st Dec timeframe getting progress with their order?

 

[Jker]

Anyone else here order from a retailer? E.g. Curry's? Whats the status for you guys?

 

[RockyW]

I think me and you will get ours the same day and considering that the ones that have changed today are from Thursday it will be either tomorrow for a Thursday delivery or Thursday change for a Friday delivery. Not long to go.

I quite like the wait, in a way....

15" 450 here. Lag when scrolling through the Application folder for the first time from cold boot. Then smooth with no lag even when closing and opening the Finder window again.
