Won't lie, I both loved and laughed at this. Yep, that made me feel better too. It's so lame that in our haste we didn't realize there was a faster charger option (I TOTALLY MISSED IT). SIGH.
I suppose I can buy a secondary but I really would rather not.
I started to use my old MBP this morning and all I can say is I am ready for a laptop again (I've been using the 12.9 iPad pro on a MK for the last few months). I do love this iPad but I'm excited to utilize an actual sturdy (beefy, in this case) laptop again.
I don't think I'll sell the iPad either... it's just way too cool... it can probably be my companion when I fly to Paris next month - no way I want to take the new MBP on that trip. You just never know!
There is always the option to do a migration using a Thunderbolt 3 cable...much faster...
Yeah, normally I’d do a target disk transfer but I sold my previous Mac earlier than expected (got an offer I couldn’t refuse) so all I had was the drive.
Why is that? Don’t you have ad block?
OMG FedEx just drove by. Wrong color truck... ?
I think I'm going crazy guys.

I got home and it was delivered 20 minutes ago but it wasn't in the back so I ran out to the front and there was the package. Pretty wet too. I am mildly annoyed at the driver as I have instructions to deliver to the back and this is the first time I can recall them delivering to the front. I'm going to have some lunch and then open it up. I suspect the cardboard is coated so it shouldn't be soaked at all.
I'm coming from a 2013... but it feels nice, very nice.
The heft and bulkiness of the 14" is definitely overstated though... The flatness is REALLY nice and doesn't feel too heavy at all. I can't wait to try out the miniLED display tonight with some media in the dark -- in natural light it is gorgeous!
@TheYayAreaLiving are you going to do an unboxing / review when you get yours?? ?
Also the actual Mac box is wrapped in a polythene (right? I remember they did it before, not sure if things changed).
Scheduled delivery between 12-2 - and it hasn’t left yet !
WOw, that's incredible! I'm still loaded on the truck and I'm in the same state that the shipments originated from. One of my darn husband's packages is "Preparing for Delivery" (which my MBP status was the same 2 hours ago but has since changed) and I'm praying with all of my might that we get going soon. Typically the trucks leave around 9 (which it is about to be) but I'm side eyeing his stupid package like "Don't muck this up for me, PLEASE" - but also, it's a guitar pedal he is hoping to use for band practice later so I do want it to hop on board so we can all be happy later today. Anyway, even though UPS says 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. delivery time we typically don't see our stuff until AFTER 5 PM. We shall see....
I wish I had just carved out the time to call UPS like Yaya told me to. I forget how crazy the anticipation is!
Oh and in other news, my Apple watch just shipped but it's coming via Fed Ex and it has just begun it's journey from China... (I'll hop on that thread later today maybe... today is pretty much about the MBP's!) but it won't be here until Nov 4th... oh well. That's far better than the 17th-24th estimate they originally gave me.
That's typically the case. Lunch finished and getting some coffee and then opening it up. I just got back from the gym and it's cold and rainy out so I'm just warmup up and drying out.
My BTO 14" M1 Max with 32c GPU, 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM has just shipped via UPS Worldwide Expedited so I expect it on Friday. Apple has always overestimated on delivery times on their website in my experience.
So excited, coming from a ThinkPad E590 with a dying battery!
Mine is available for pick up at a local UPS location I requested. Also available at the Apple store nearby. I get to go to the Apple store anyway as I just ordered a polishing cloth. Hype gets me every time. 😊
I canceled my order and successfully picked up an in store order this morning
I love the easy open box. Just pull one tab down and you have your MacBook Pro in a smaller box wrapped in cellophane.
The cellophane is easy open too.

@TheYayAreaLiving these are PHENOMENAL! Thank you for sharing ♥️@Bea220, Thank you for the kind words. Don’t plan on working on Monday. It’s going to be crazy. During these pre-order times, all we have is each other. It really brings each other together. We all learn from each other. It is during these times we share our feelings, excitement, emotions, anxiety, anticipation and so much more 😆. It makes the whole experience very memorable and unforgettable.
I’m so happy that you will be upgrading to the iPhone 14. We are expecting a total re-design so it will be a well worthy upgrade. It will be a supercycle and Apple will finally get rid of the notch. Expect a total re-design. Also, there was a report out Apple engineers decided to shift their focus on iPhone 14 more.
Ahh, glad you figured out my name. Haha, I think the capitalization of the letters helped. I was just in San Francisco (SFO, California) 2 weeks ago. First time ever. It was so expensive but worth every single penny. I really fell in love with the city. There was always something to do. Love the people, food, culture, and the whole energy. It was on another level. I have never felt so connected. I came back very inspired. I do plan on going back to the bay in the spring of 2022 for a 2nd trip. I will explore more.
Also, with the new MacBook Pro, I plan on applying for a new job there. Hoping I land something there. It gets very boring in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Don’t forget to check out my post. I posted pictures on this thread below

A very short gate-away trip to San Francisco, California. I really fell in love with this amazing city. It was worth paying $200 just for parking fees around the city. My plane ticket was a lot cheaper. I believe it is the 2nd most expensive city in the nation. Very Expensive! but it comes with...forums.macrumors.com

Does apple not include the Power adapter extension cable anymore with the macbook? https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK122LL/A/power-adapter-extension-cable
Can we use our old extension cables with the new 140W power brick?
