With these savings, I'd wait a little longer for delivery if I were you. I'm getting the base model 16"
Good lord! Almost 10k with taxes lol. You got me, good one. You are on fire!
I may just get a base 16" model and upgrade little stuff here and there. What do you recommend upgrading?
That's final pricing over here, it'll be way cheaper over there, even with taxes. 😐
That’s a lot of $$$ for a laptop though 😂 I’m so excited for this Mac.
For our use case, the base model is plenty for us, I've got the base model M1 MacBook Pro, this thing will last me 7 years easily, new one will have 16gb ram instead of 8gb ram that's in my current beast, 512gb SSD instead of 256gb, even more powerful chip and GPU, base model 16" will be more than enough for me, I haven't even come close to using it for anything demanding, only thing I'd look at upgrading is the SSD if you need more than 512gb, How much storage you using on your current machine?
Ah, do you have an institutional edu account? Cuz that's cheaper than the regular edu account. But yeah, it takes time to do the paperwork, etc.
I may have it yes. I’m gonna check later tonight. I thought you can just order using your Apple ID
UK thread spun off for those wanting some localised MacBook shenanigansGet started!!! Wishing you all the best friend!!! See you across the world. I will be stopping by
UK 14"/16" M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro (2021) Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread
So Apple have finally dropped the invite for MacBook Pro event so I thought it high time to get a UK specific thread for those looking to order these as the become available. I'm more used to the annual iPhone purchases and not ordered a MacBook on launch before so I'm pretty excited! even more...

Place your order, you'll be fine, they don't ask for any ID. 😁
There are two types of edu purchases.
For the standard type of edu purchase you can just go to the Apple web store and order directly. In the US (and in Canada where I am), there is nothing else you have to do. It's just a regular order... but from their edu page.
However, there are also institutional edu accounts. These are for administrators and such ordering for schools and university departments etc. It sounds like you don't have an an institutional account.
See above.
Over 8 hours usage, not even at 50% yet, these new machines better have the same if not better power efficiency.
Efficiency - no way. If the processor is more powerful and has more performance cores but less low power cores... Add in more GPU cores and, depending on your config, more RAM.
Same or better battery life - yeah, possibly. The MBP 13 has a battery that's almost 20% bigger. So if the MBP 14 has a similarly large battery, it may compensate for the extra power.
Thank you for the info. It will be standard type edu purchase. But I don’t want my Mac to get delayed.
Battery life is guaranteed to be good, thanks to these M series chips, how good is the question on everybody mind.
Looks like it’ll be a early night for me on the 18th 😊 then plenty of coffee. 😁☕️
Coffee and donuts!!! Wow 04:00AM. Get plenty of sleep.
Donuts 😳😂 hell no! 😂 I’m activating beast mode as we speak. 😎 My life is almost complete.
