What size screen MacBook Pro (2021) did you order?

I'm in Memphis as well but not showing a delay... yet. Hoping (being in South Florida) the next export scan is around 3:45 PM EST as that is the next flight out to Miami.

Interesting if you click on Shipment facts tab and the click through to the master tracking number, you can see it was delivered and signed for in Memphis https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/?trknbr=541954688882&trkqual=2459513000~541954688882~FX

If you click through to view the clearance and input the master tracking into the HBL search you can get more details.

What does this do for us? Probably nothing but it is super FedEx nerdery.

Good work! This is super cool. Lots of good details. We need this for UPS as well! Ahh I wish we could!

My Oct 29 is stuck in Clearance Delay in Memphis TN - FedEx. Anyone else?

Mine was originally Nov 5-10, but it also is in the "Clearance Delay" status in Memphis right now. I'm not too concerned about it still arriving well before the original time estimate but that's annoying if Oct 29 orders are in the same status.
 
Spirit Lake Hwy on the way to Mt St. Helens! Beautiful drive with twist and turns. Almost ran out of battery up there. Best part? Not single cop in sight. 😀

Anyways, lots of MBP stock near me... 🤔

Need to stay on topic, Did you order your new MacBook? 🤔

On my bucket list ✅

Now I need to win the lottery so I can buy these 2 cars and give them a thrashing on that lovely road. 🤤🥰



 
Good morning 👋 that was a good sleep in, really needed that lol.

It's a great machine, kind of knew what to expect, since i've had the little beast before getting this bigger beast.

Not noticing ProMotion like I do on my iPad Pro and iPhone 🤔

Screen changes colour temperature depending on brightness, on 5 bars brightness, screen looks a bit yellow, anything above 5 bars makes the screen look a lot whiter in colour. 🤔

Battery life awesome, big screen awesome.

ProMotion, not seeing it, mini led screen is not as good as on my iPad Pro. 🤔

What's this faster charger thing you're talking about? isn't it the 140W charger included in the box?


I'm so glad to hear you got some good sleep and appreciate your report on your first impressions!

As for the charger, apparently there were two options with the base 14 inch MBP

67W USB-C Power Adapter​
96W USB-C Power Adapter​
+ $20.00​

Wish I had caught it and shelled out the extra $20

I'm really excited to compare the MBP to my gorgeous iPad. Decisions will be made.... so stoked.

Also, Follow my driver is rarely ever offered to me and I would call UPS to see if I can change it but I'll stick with the element of surprise.

(Although now I'm silently hating everyone who texts me that isn't UPS 🤣)
 
Well? 🧐💻
I’m so stoked and excited @LFC2020

👀🤫

 
As a long time Apple customer (and developer), this day pretty much sucks for me.

Woke up early and ordered for a MBP 16 through my local Apple store. Got the email for pick up. About 20 minutes after that email, I get a call saying they've cancelled my in-store pick up because the "box is damaged". Right...

And my pre-order from last Tuesday is stuck in limbo somewhere in China. Pffft.

Where is your MBP and polishing cloth? I wake up and you still haven’t gotten yours?

Ahh the 14" model, scared me a for sec. 😂 stingy from apple, the 96W adapter should be included in the box. 🙄

I can send you a text pretending to be UPS if you'd like. 😜😂
 
Received my 16-inch this morning. This thing is a beast. The vastly improved camera is a no-brainer trade-off for the notch, which I barely notice (and which disappears if one sets the desktop to black). The machine itself has a decidedly throwback look due to the thickness, but it looks great and it fits in my briefcase, so no problems there. Very, very happy. Good luck to all.
 
I'm dying over here. I want to join you guys sooooo bad. 😭😭😭
Sorry, had to get some contracts out.

Ok, therapy session is now happening….

Don’t give in!!! That is of course, you trade in your M1 and apply that to your purchase, and only if it makes financial sense for you.

Therapy session is now over… until the next time 😁
 
Great to see so many new MBP!

I’m bouncing around facilities in Shanghai waiting to get a departure scan. Maybe tonight? Would be great to get it this week.

It gives me time to grab another thing I hadn’t realized I couldn’t live without before following this forum - an external SSD drive.
 
@Boardiesboi when you going to the apple store? lol

Need you to test out the display on the 16" model with automatically adjust brightness turned off in display settings.

On 5 bars brightness the screen is very dim, once you go above 5 bars ??✋☀️

Think I might be being picky, I'm not really amazed by this display, at lower brightness, it doesn't look as good as my previous little beast. ?

Can someone else who has the big boy test this, my OCD is kicking in again. ?‍♂️?
 
Ugh. Now UPS is not giving me a specific time for delivery today and the map is now gone.
This is the same experience I had before...
  • out for delivery
  • you wait the entire day
  • then you call UPS/FedEx
  • then they tell you that the driver had too many deliveries and couldn't make it to your 'hood
  • wait until tomorrow and you will surely get it
I am having a sense of deja vu here too...no laptop and UPS has estimated that I may get it anytime between 11am - 3pm Pacific and it is close to 1:30pm already...

You're not alone. There's quite a few of us that are stuck. My tracking status is virtually identical to yours. Here's mine. Whatever is going on in Shanghai right now, must be an absolute mess.
