I also am curious as to why you ordered a second Magsafe charger. You know one is included with your MBP, right?
How come you ordered a second charging set?

If it were me, I always have two chargers, one stays at home and one goes with me in my bag. I would have done the same this time, but I’m hoping anker or someone can come out with a good multi port charger that delivers over 100w that I will use for my travel charger.
 
I would say anyone that had their credit card charged as of Friday-Sunday and is now in PREPARING TO SHIP MODE may see their MBP in their hands by Tuesday or the end of next week at the latest.

Of course, this is an estimate, but judging from all the reported communications with Apple, there will probably be shipment confirmations on Monday for overnight deliveries Tuesday and that includes possibly the November 3-7 promised dates.
 
Just received notice on my Apple Card that I was charged for the second part of my order. I ordered the base 14 for the wife and it was charged 3 days ago and moved to PTS. It's arriving 10/26. I assume my BTO, since it has been charged, will move to PTS. Right now it's scheduled 11/5 - 11/10. Crossing fingers that will be moved up.

Same here. I actually ordered two additional. One for my road gear, one for my hone office and one for downstairs. No way I want to chance forgetting it and I want to make sure I have the ability to fast charge before I hop on a plane. I end up in so many odd scenarios that I want the ability to charge fast.
 
Listen, not a bad thing. Just go to your order and cancel it. No harm done. No charges yet.

You do get a Magsafe charger with your MBP. Apple doesn't make that clear as they call it a USB-C charger because the other end of the Magsafe is USB-C into the charging brick.
You are right, I had to look it up couple of times as well to be sure if MagSafe is included.
 
Ahhh, you are right. It’s the same Watts too. I thought it didn’t come with it so I ordered it. Pre-ordering day was pure madness for me. I lost it all. Didn’t have enough time to properly research it😂

I wonder why it’s back-ordered till November.

I wish I had that attitude on pre order day 😂 the ‘don’t ask questions, just go all in’ lol, problem was the gazillion options to choose with the specs.
 
This might not be a bad thing. If you are portable with your 💻 around the house, or on vacations, etc, you can leave the charger/cable in your main setup and have a spare.
Good point. But I'm hoping we barely have to charge our MacBook Pro now. Since the battery life is insane. All of a sudden that $99.00 price for a charger is too steep. Oh well, doesn't hurt to keep an extra pair. Who knows... In the future, Apple may stop providing charger with a Mac.

I have about 7 MagSafe 2 charging devices. They may be MagSafe 1 with an adapter but I used to leave two in the office and two at home for my systems and anyone else that happened to need to borrow a brick. I accumulated a fair number of these over the years. I think that two of them died. Always good to have a backup.

What I'd really love is a MagSafe 2 to MagSafe 3 adapter.

Yeah, it is rather steep. However, you have at least 4 Apple stores near you. You can always run them over to return and get instant credit back to your account. I will definitely get a 2nd charge cable, but hoping that Anker will release a 100 to 100+ GaN charger. Then again, looking at Anker‘s site, anything that would support our 16 might top Apple’s price. Something to think about.
 
which MacBook pro to buy I want the 14 inch base one but not sure of it will fit I need it because I'm doing cyber security for my university and I trade in my MacBook pro 2019 16 inch I'm getting 1210 for it plus 177 for the apple care plus which model should i get ?

Sharing my order experience in the event it will help someone else.

I ordered 16" M1 Max base model with delivery on October 26th.

The entire time my order has been in processing with no movement. I called Apple and requested this be looked at further and they 'escalated' the case.

I heard back this afternoon from a supervisor and they advised me I will be receive a shipment confirmation tomorrow. They stated the device will be overnighted and I will receive it on the 26th.
I wonder what % of inventory they dont sell in case of replacements/mistakes/shipping snafus/whatever.

I doubt they managed to produce and ship you another machine :p just some % stockpiles.

I am surprised you aren't seeing any movement.

Mine was slated for November 3-5 (16" 64GB Pro Max 1TB) and it's already in READY TO SHIP and hopefully by the end of tonight it should actually ship for POSSIBLE Tuesday delivery. If not Tuesday, certainly by the end of next week ahead of schedule.
Damn, hopefully I get an update soon too. Don't want to wait 3 weeks

Have you confirmed that whatever software your are currently running will be compatible with the M1? Also, what is your current ram/storage? Will you be happy going from a 16 to a 14? The 16/512 will probably more than meet your needs.
