Whatever color you like best, get it. Don't worry about one aging different than the other. I've owned both, and used them heavily and traveled 30+ weeks per year with each color. So long as you keep them clean and don't abuse them, they both will look good over the years.

He has an amazing point and @TheYayAreaLiving you have plentiful cloths to keep either looking TIP TOP.

I have a feeling you're leaning towards the classic silver... go with your gut!
 
Glad I went down to pick up the iPhone this morning.... at least I'll have one new Apple product to set up.

Was just notified by UPS that my MBP was damaged in shipment and returned to their warehouse. No delivery. Now I have to work with Apple to get a replacement shipped out..... estimated to be delivered by mid-December.

It made it all the way from Shanghai to the PNW US, then the local UPS carriers got their hands on it. Sigh.
Wait, what? Are you serious! I’m so sorry man. OMG, idk how you even feel but don’t worry. Apple stores have plenty of them available.

First gut tells me Silver! It’s a classic color. I’m gonna play with silver Mac tonight and see how I like it. Hopefully it helps me decide.

Nooooooo. Feck, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Hope you're able to get an in store pick up before then.

This just sucks. I'm ROOTING for all of us and it breaks my heart to hear of these kinds of things happening.
 
Thanks! Just did it through My Choice Premium. Let hope it works and I get it early!! Did it work for you?
I was promised a launch day delivery. Make sure it’s the main UPS CC hub. Honestly if I was in your shoes I would call UPS and have them walk through it. Tell them you want to pick it up ASAP. They will walk you through the process
 
Did they expedited your order? Did you get a call from Apple?
On the phone with Apple for a while. They located a unit similar to what I ordered, but 1TB larger SSD that is being shipped from a store. FEDEX overnight, which in this case means Thursday. All is good. Now if I could just get an Apple Cloth that's just lying around, I would be complete!
 
Wow. THAT REALLY FREAKING SUCKS. I'm sorry dude... I hope your baby makes it to you without fail tomorrow.
Thanks. It is what it is, I guess. The initial frustration's worn off, so hoping they're either doing late deliveries today, or that it shows up tomorrow. Between this and FedEx not delivering my Switch OLED after a week in my city, I'm concerned for our carriers lol

EDIT: And now there's egg on my face. UPS just dropped off my MacBook. ???

Excellent.

Regarding the apple cloth... someone decided they wanted premium sails.

Call Apple back and have them sent you a free Apple cloth! And if they don’t, you come back here tell me. I’ll either call Apple myself and have them grant one for you or you can have one of mine 😞
 
Anyone else think the new Apple packaging will be hard for returns? Since it breaks open from the middle, even if you pack as before, it won't be the same.

The plain cardboard part? No they don't give a rat's behind about that. They only care about the box that the actual MacBook is sealed in with the picture of the MacBook Pro on it.
 
Wow that's quite the upgrade for you! Congrats! 👍🏻
Aw thanks! It's been a LOOOOONG time coming, for sure. Super pumped!
Congrats 🎉🥳 she’s 👌🔥
Thanks buddy! Yeah, I'm flippin' happy right now.

This one feels smooth and right.... the speakers on this thing are *CHEFS KISS* 👌🏻
