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

The Apple Shop app says my computer is coming on Nov. 2 but Fedex shipping says it's coming on Friday. I don't know who to trust!
Same. Friday delivery on FedEx, Nov. 2 on Apple. Mine got to Memphis yesterday morning and hasn’t moved since then. I’m a bit concerned since not used to FedEx, are they usually accurate on their delivery estimate?
 
Yea, I feel like if all the other failed changes didn't happen at the same time as the touch bar, it would have had a better chance. It got lumped in with the odd design decision of no escape key, and the huge failure of scissor keys. If it was it's own change, it might have fared better.
Maybe Apple will bring it back in the future.

I can’t wait for Tim Cook to be like.

“We are thrilled to bring the Touch Bar back to the MacBook Pro line up. We think, you are going to love it.”

LOL!
 
So a question (Not a techie). I have the Apple Super Drive that I use with my 2015 MacBook Pro. What adapter would I need to connect to the new 16”? Or will it even work? Thanks so much for the help.

Anyone aware of UPS shipping issues? Looks like my package has been in Shanghai for the past 3 days:

My 14” BTO that was Nov 3-5 just arrived!!!! Go FedEx! (They also left it at the door without a signature… maybe I have that set up in my FedEx account??)

My wife’s 14” BTO was Nov 5-10 but had “shipped” a few days ago is still stuck in that UPS mess in Shanghai, my heart breaks for her. Her 2012 MBP takes 5 mins to load a web browser…
 
Wow. How does that happen? Did you change your order after originally placing it?
After spending hours on the phone with Apple, their only explanation was that it was stuck in "processing" from the pre-order date and got reset yesterday. They won't do anything about it and essentially said it was bad luck. I have to wait until December.
 
For anyone who has a 14" and an older 15.4"....

would you be able to do a size comparison of the two? I have a 15.4" MBP currently and ordered the 14" M1 Max. Just waiting now for it to ship but the anticipation is killing me!

Okay I totally refrained from saying anything yesterday when you went to the store because I wanted to feel guilt free when this moment arrived.

Now I get to just be happy about the inevitable. Congratulations 🥳

Which size did you get?

Also, you guys… I’m scared. Although I’m in love with my laptop, this morning I woke up wondering if I should have shelled out the extra $200 for the extra storage.

I plan on this laptop carrying me through the next 5 years and I managed to survive on my 2013 one with 256GB

Argh now I’m teetering on the fence on reordering one with more storage 🤦🏼‍♀️
You should’ve discouraged me!

I got the 14 but haven’t opened it yet. But now I’m thinking if I should’ve gotten the 16…
 
I ended up canceling my order yesterday when I saw there was instore pickup but because the preorder was made on my Apple Card the pending charge remained there so I couldn’t get the instore one with my credit limit. Now they’re sold out in all my local stores. Just decided to order the 16” M1 Max 32gb 1TB model coming at the end of Nov. via delivery now that the pending charge has dropped. Higher spec that my original order. If it pops up instore again between now and then I’ll call and have it switched to instore pickup.

Any luck with Apple Card support increasing your credit limit?
 
Missed the initial preorder, but I woke up yesterday morning and built out a 16'' M1 max with the option to pick it up at my local apple store same day. Guess they had a full stock of both models and all configurations, minus the 8 TB SSD option.
