would love to know whether the mini-led has blooming / edge shadows that the ipad pros have. also @LFC2020 you mentioned you don't think the screen is as good as ipad Pro, is it just the pro-motion part? or is the image also worse?

Oh god, I hope it’s a software issue.
I’m honestly over apple BS, only problem is, there is nothing better out there and I keep giving them my money 🤦‍♂️🥺

One of the main features on these machines, they ruin it for everyone on launch day. 🤦‍♂️

First time I experienced 120hz on my iPhone I was in heaven, then I get this garbage yesterday. 🤦‍♂️
 
I'm thinking @LFC2020 has a defective MBP. Probably should send it in for repairs.

Nope!!! Apple crap panels or a software issue.

The Apple Polishing Cloth is in full effect. I’m alive and breathing well. I wish Apple had made a bedsheet of this Apple Polishing Cloth. This is what it feels like in heaven.

Shoot! Forgot to include an iPad. 😆

Be prepared for it to sit in Memphis all day tomorrow.

Mine landed on FDX90 last night/early this AM and sat in Memphis all day long.
I checked the flight schedule and saw that there is a 2:20pm and a 3pm flight out of Memphis to LAX tomorrow (I’m in SoCal), given the flight from Japan should arrive at around 3am, am I being too optimistic that it will clear customs and get on one of those flights to me?

Still installing software I need, still configuring SSH keys, still configuring everything from scratch. This will take me a while.

I will say the screen doesn't have massive ghosting or blooming issues. I thought I would notice it more. The blooming is acceptable, worth the tradeoff. The ghosting is no worse than my current MBP so no big deal. Overall this is an amazing machine.

I'm installing homebrew software at the same time as AirDropping files from my previous Mac over. The old Mac is hot and fans are spinning like a prop plane. The M1 Max machine is completely silent and barely warm to the touch. Incredible. Homebrew scripts are installing so quickly. This chip is a miracle so far.
