So, funny thing. I was at the Apple Store today along with a bazillion others. Two specialists at the table. I said, ”Tomorrow's a big day with new MacBooks launching.”. They nod. So, will there be any in stock to come in and buy, I ask. They look at each other. They smile. They say, in perfect unison, ”We won’t know until tomorrow.” And grin again.

This is so adorable. Sounds like those Apple Store employees love their job!

Naw. Space Grey is where it's at! It just looks so much better. Sure the palm rest area paint will wear off at some point but you could always throw a skin on and I think the silver has that same issue as well anyway just less noticable.

I thought silver color didn’t have that issue? Space gray does look very sleek.

@LFC2020 Did you spot any silver MacBook?

Nope ? was only allowed to the front of the store, restrictions ?

 

[Boardiesboi]

Nope 🤨 was only allowed to the front of the store, restrictions 🙄

Sydney store taking appointments for shopping and browsing now. Melbourne should be not far behind.

 

[LFC2020]

I may have missed it and I can’t seem to locate what the specs are on this beauty… What did @LFC2020 end up with?

Hey mate, base model for me.

Dang it! 🤦‍♀️ Did you see Apple polishing cloth?

 

[Macalway]

There was some very bad weather early today in the Midwest, but it seems to have completely cleared. I had an item in an Ohio Hub that was put on hold for about 5 hours. Delays? probably not.

@LFC2020 we are waiting for your reviews! First impression? What do you think? How’s the pro-motion? Thoughts? People wanna know.

I listened to Upgrade, an Apple-focused tech podcast, and on it, Jason Snell mentioned that there are issues with apps not being optimized for the higher refresh rate, so that could be an issue....

There is also John Gruber's review as well - https://daringfireball.net/2021/10/the_2021_14-inch_macbook_pro

The discolouration may occur but I do not think it is a sure thing.

 

[LFC2020]

Congrats mate! I like how the 16" MBP box fit perfectly inside the paper bag!

First thing I realised as I was walking,out of the store lol.

She’s a monster, need to get use to this massive display, My thick beautiful queen, updating the software as we speak. ?‍♂️

The show is not over you bet! Tomorrow is a very big and special day for all of us. Be ready to be blown away and totally amazed. It’s almost here. Almost!

 

[LFC2020]

You got your latte!!! Congrats

? Wasn’t leaving without it lol.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

🙏 Wasn’t leaving without it lol.

I hope that latte was free 😆

 

[stanman64]

Just want to say the energy and excitement in here is palpable and I love it. I’ve been stalking my Apple products on here since June 2010, my very first time tracking flights for my iPhone 4, and it’s been a blast every time since. Amazing that it’s been 11 years since then…

Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying their “Apple Christmas Eve!” ?❤️

 

[tharitm]

Anyone trading in a MBP to Apple? (by shipping it) in US. Any advice? How was your experience?

 

[beach bum]

Well, I’ll have to catch up with @LFC2020 review in the morning. I’ve still a chapter to read for class and I’ve set my alarm for 4:45a to start stalking. Happy and safe travels everyone! Hoping your deliveries are on time for the promised 10/26 date. ?

 

[UltimateSyn]

Lots of flights leaving Louisville still tonight! Mine got delayed due to weather but just landed in PHL.

Ohhhh, very nice. For some reason I thought there wouldn’t be another flight to Boston for 24 hours but that doesn’t make sense logistically. I can see now there’s another one out this way at 2:35AM. I’d bet my 14” makes its way onto that flight!

 

[LFC2020]

Almost makes me think I should have gotten silver

Nah, space grey is gorgeous ?

Tip for when pulling out the MagSafe charger ? I was trying to pull it straight out, wasn’t easy to do, like it was glued in, all you have to do is pull it down, comes out effortlessly. ??‍♂️?

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

Lol, she’s not going to place her order.

Why order when I can just walk in and pick one up tomorrow ?

It looks like the room temp is low? That’s why?

 

[LFC2020]

Is she really actually that THICCCC or it's manageable?

She has the curves in all the right places ? Yep she’s THICK!!! But still manageable

How's the notch? Not noticeable?

Don’t tell @TheYayAreaLiving you don’t notice it when using the machine ??? still ***** me that It’s there. ?

What about that screen? Any red tint? ?


Just make a new thread so people can post their impressions and ask questions!

Plz don’t my OCD will kick in ? screen looks gorgeous ?
