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

For my needs the M1 MacBook Air has been outstanding. Truly a wonderful machine and at the price, damn near hard to beat. I plan on holding on to this for years.
This, although I have the MBP with 16GB of RAM. This machine is amazing, my only gripe is only 2 USBc ports - on the wrong side for me lol. I also really need a bigger screen and my aging eyes are aging.

I hope they follow suit from last year, orders started right after the event. God forbid it doesn’t follow the M1 iMac release timeline but then again, it’s a redesign so 1-2 weeks availability might be the case.
 
Last minute report. @beach bum @LFC2020 @julit0


@beach bum pretty sure Mac Mini will be unveiled tomorrow. Be ready :)
Not excited for the event anymore, these leakers have ruined it with this notch news, don't want or need a notch for a 1080p camera, a notch without Face ID is even more disappointing.

Ignore them. Just watch the event and enjoy. Rumors are just rumors and this year in particular the rumors have been incorrect a lot.
 
Has anyone done trade in before? I plan on trading in my Macbook Pro, but would I need to do that before I order or is it like iPhone where it's part of the checkout process?

Ok, call me crazy… does a notch even make sense even if it’s to house a 1080 camera? I mean think about how people open and close the MBPs. I can see it now… 1st, there were complaints about the M1 MBAs with screen cracking, now what, complaints about damaging the camera/sensors, etc because pressure is repeated applied when opening the MPB if the bezels are narrower which places the camera/sensors, etc closer to the casing?

Apple: Oh, you’re opening it wrong.

Better minds than me will probably have a better understanding of how this all could/will work.
 

If it looks like that to me its very pretty. I got my very first iphone this time around(The iPhone 13) it has a notch, I dont mind it at all..and Im coming from an old a@@ samsung galaxy s6 model, so the whole notch thing, I mean is it super ideal, probably not but you get used to it, its worth it to get specs like that

Yes! The trade off is much better. I think People have set their expectations with Apple very high which they should but they want something like Tony Stark or James Bond type technology in the real world.

Good point! A lot of Quality Assurance goes behind Apple’s product. Especially the MacBook 💻 Pro. Apple knows people are anxiously waiting. I have full faith and hope at Apple and I know they will not disappoint us tomorrow. Expect all the Mac’s to be back ordered and sell out fast right away.

With a notch or without a notch.
