@beach bum They must be counting stock at my local apple store. 🤔

Sure enough, origin scan in Ontario, CA!
I'm still highly unable to get UPS My Choice to give me ANY info... I mean, I'm in SoCal so I'm almost 1000% certain this is where mine is coming from. Luckily, the tracking number finally shows up in My Choice (but that's about it) anytime I try to click on it, I just get a message that states there isn't any info yet.


I got super lucky with my apple watch, was the only person in Melbourne who got a SS model for pickup on launch day.

Can lightning strike twice? ? TIM COOOOOK for the love of god, open store pickup already. ?‍♂️???
It had better ⚡⚡ ;)

Also, I haven't had a chance to express to you how happy I am that you have joined us on this journey after all.
Bless your family member that wanted to buy the 13" M1 MBP off of you. It felt weird not having you join @TheYayAreaLiving and the gang on this journey.

All is right with the world (well, Apple world - don't think the REAL world will ever be okay, sadly... but this day is for HAPPY TOPICS)


I don't think it's true... around here, anyway. They just delivered my Watch and tossed it on the porch. Except my Early Warning System (i.e., dog) barked, I wouldn't have known it had arrived, and the truck was nowhere to be seen when I opened the door.
Actually, I don't think it's a matter of true or false... but as usual, it's up to the drivers discretion (which has always been my experience). Anyway, my driver tends to deliver in our area once I'm home so I'm not certain as to why I'm even tripping. ?

SORRY FOR THE MULTIPLE QUOTES AND BEING ALL OVER THE PLACE RIGHT NOW. Anticipation has HIT ME HARD. lol.

Try the app instead of their website. There were some times where the website wouldn't load my tracking # but the app would. Worth a shot :)
 
It's an i7-10700 with 128 GB RAM and 5 TB SSD. It won't be retired but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. It's the Home NAS right now though it's a bit overconfigured for that. The system has a lot of cooling capacity and it's cool and quiet. I might put it on my other desk just for experiments where x86 is required. I had considered replacing it with an M1 Pro mini but I have the MacBook Pro now and I'll see if it would work out. I really want to use it when mobile but would love to run the experiment to scope out how an M1 Pro or Max mini would run.
Wow! That's an awesome setup, and it makes sense that you would want to keep it.

Since Apple didn't introduce an updated Mac Mini, I'm getting rid of the Mini (trade-in) and will use the 16 as a desktop replacement and portable when needed. I had a M1 MBA and was able to run everything smoothly, but with the mac mini and continued WFH, I wasn't using the MBA as I anticipated--Sold. In addition, the M1 didn't support multiple monitors. This purchase will be an all in one solution for me.
 
Just got origin scan in Louisville

The return address is Lebanon, TN. I bet these have been sitting in a warehouse at UPS WorldPort in SDF for a few days. If Apple was going to store these stateside until release date, it makes sense to get them as close to UPS as possible to save on costs and make things easier. The Lebanon return address is where it gets sent to if it can't be delivered for some reason.

Ok so I looked on the apple Canada website to order what I posted above and it had a November 24th shipping date. I went tothe best buy site and ordered it . It says it will be delivered by tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it won't be . Is that to good to be true ?
If they are promising 10/26 they may ship it day of release instead of before. Bestbuy Canada will list an item out of stock even for preorders so there should not be oversold issues like Walmart.

Been up since 2:50am ? also have mine in the bag, ready for checkout, come on Timmy, I’m ready for my store pickup today ??

Awesome luck tomorrow? ? they go on sale over here in 5 hours ?

@LFC2020 You are missing out man. This is a very important and highly demanded cloth. You are going to regret it.

Don't be ridiculous. Downplaying the importance of this cloth doesn't help anyone. This was clearly the bravest product release, ever. You can tell, because Apple didn't even mention it during the keynote. Can you imagine the phenomenal amount of effort they should have put into this product's video demonstration? They should have have split the MacBook Pro presentation in half, and dedicated the rest of the time to showing the polishing cloth in action. That would have been so brave... so brave...

Can't go through the front door, it's at a shopping centre, security guards everywhere, through the roof. 😁

I can't wait for the 'you're wiping it wrong' response to screen damage....
