So what you're really trying to say is I'm acting like a moron today 🤔😂

Can you test one thing for me once you've finished setting up your beast, no rush, does your screen get a lot dimmer at 5 bars brightness?
Yes, the screen does get a lot dimmer at 5 bars brightness. If I set brightness to 7-8 bars, it is very comfortable. I cannot do screens that are too bright.

I am loving this so far, and like others have said, when focusing on what I am doing, I don't notice the notch. I can tell you though at the highest brightness setting, it hurts my eyes.

I really like the responsiveness and the speakers are awesome. Let me know if there is anything else you need me to test. Oh, I really like the keyboard!😁
 
I’m sad. They don’t offer space gray Magic Mouse anymore. It’s a classic. No idea why Apple eliminated that.
 
So, it looks like I am not getting the laptop today that I ordered last week. This is insane....

I'm not worried. Their Apple Cloth is the exact material used in Black Widow Shammy from Hammer Bowling that I use on my bowling balls.

I'm set. 😂

BL.
Hubby is a very serious bowler (I used to bowl as well but my body broke in multiple places, LOL) and we have a bunch of those. He leaves them at the bowling center, and they aren't cheap!!
 
I am ecstatic your new babies have arrived. If anyone accuses you of being OCD for ordering 10 Apple polishing cloth's - tell them you are not OCD, but hyper conscientious.

Thanks for putting this whole thread together and all the time you have spent aiding other hyper conscientious people!
Thank you for understanding! Congratulations!!! 🎊🎈🎉

I’ve had deliveries that didn’t match tracking more than a handful of times. Once it was a pair of headphones I was trying to get before I left on a trip … even ended up having the expedited shipping refunded because the tracking page said they would be late and delivered another day. They ended up coming at like 9pm the correct day, just like an hour before I had to leave to catch my flight lol

Are the UPS deliveries in your area always much earlier? In my case they almost always come at ~6PM, but today they came at 4:30 (good thing I left work super early just in case - it's raining hard here).

Although I guess if you're not out for delivery you're probably screwed.
 
I was able to order one at 8 AM today (16" M1 Max 32 Core 32GB RAM 1TB SSD) and picked it up around 10 AM. Super easy. Cancelled my pre-order which was scheduled to arrive over the next two weeks.

I'd advise anyone still seeing "processing" to check if you can order for same day pickup instead. If so, and you get an email confirmation for pickup, cancel the pre-order. They messed up big-time with the delivery estimates this year.

I pre-ordered my config minutes after the models were up on the Apple Store and was given an early to mid November delivery date, meanwhile my friend ordered the same model hours later and was given an Oct 26 delivery date (which was delayed to tomorrow). And yet, they have specced out models available for purchase in store. Nothing about this makes sense.
 
Any one with a Nov 10-17 or 17-24 arrival date have any movement?
I was just going to post to ask this as well as mine is still on 'Processing' and my card hasn't been charged yet. What is your config? I think mine is just taking so long because its a BTO machine. Keep refreshing the order page every few hours the last few days ??
