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

with the back to university promotions ending on the 11th (in Europe), the rumours were suggesting, (yep.. clutching at straws!) if it followed last years pattern of an event a day after the promotion ended, we'd have been a week away from seeing the MacBooks.

looks like that didn't pan out :(


anyone else foolishly try and trade in their MacBook on the rumours it was launching earlier this year? Made the mistake of believing Prosser and the like that it was launching this summer.. traded in the MacBook to try and maximise resale.. now been Mac-less for nearly half a year!
also can't see Apple announcing a new event for new products on the same day the anniversary Job's passing today.

the time between the iPhone 13's and the MacBooks has really dragged... might have to look at the new watches again to fill the void! :D
 
I will be getting the 32 core GPU equipped 16” with 32 Gigs of RAM and 1TB storage it will be my first ever laptop
I had a 13" 2019 MBP before I sold it earlier this year. Have been using a work provided 16" and I have to say I miss the smaller form factor. don't get me wrong the 16" makes great viewing, but when I'm at home, its plugged into a monitor. the smaller size makes it ever so more portable for me
 
The invites could be out within 2 hours or so… 9AM PST? Hopefully sends them out soon.

I'm refreshing Macrumors every minute, but I don't think we'll get invites today - on the 10th anniversary of Steve's passing? "Here's our tribute to Steve" and a few hours later "Invites! Come to see what's next for the Mac" doesn't mix very well I think. Maybe tomorrow or next week (I hope, I'm starving for the 14" 1TB)...
 
I’ve been watching this podcast, which is one of my favorites with their British dry humor, regarding the new M1 X announcement come pretty soon. And for one person‘s opinion, it really doesn’t matter if it’s Steve Jobs 10th anniversary of his death. It would honor him to have it announced for a future purchase today.


this podcast begins talking about the new M1 X about 19 minutes in. But they do talk about other Apple products and again some of their humor is evidence. I like this site because they’re more mature about many of the Apple products.
 
MacRumors have made a great prediction about the October’s event. I really hope it’s not the end of this month 😩

Isn’t there a thread already that’s like 85 pages long about the same thing?
Yes sir! There is. However, this thread is only for those who are ordering 2021 MacBook Pro 14" or MacBook Pro 16" model. It is all listed on post #1 :). It just makes it easier to track down who’s ordering the 💻. Happy ordering 😃

Honestly I have no idea why we all feel like this. It’s like crackheads waiting for our crack dealers to announce the new Crackbook Pro.
It’s driving me insane and I wish Apple would just announce it and let me buy one and I don’t feel like this about any other product.
 
I would prefer 16" under the assumption the CPU/GPU is better, or else I'd take the more compact 14". But even then, I'd need at least 32gb/512gb and I really hope they support multiple monitor outputs so I don't have to do all this displaylink stuff - I run 4 ultrawides (3440x1440) on my temporary desktop PC - if I only have to buy 2 thunderbolt docks I'd be happy.

Apple has definitely gotten into our minds. It's the marketing team that's doing it's magic. They have all the data and they know exactly what they are doing.

my guess is: if apple had done the redesign with the nov20-m1-machines, there wouldn't be as big as a hype right now. i personally am looking forward to see what's apple's next step in terms of design, usability and portability. the added performance is a bonus.
 
They are not even out ... and we are creating preorder threads with these in-the-face (and huge) red fonts, and giant images that nobody really knows even represent the product. Sometimes, members on MR outdo themselves on the R part of it.

@arn consider hiring the OP.
 
So are we expecting performance to be relatively similar between both the 14” and 16” models? I’m wondering if I should add extra storage on a 14” or go with a lower-end storage option on a 16” with my current budget.

They are expected to be out sometime this month. Two days ago, Mark Gurman himself confirmed it. This is all to get ready and a head start. Because trust me they will be back-ordered right away. There's also a poll going on so now we know exactly who's ordering what model. After all this whole website (MacRumors) is all about rumors and speculation. News gets a final confirmation after Apple confirms it.

Just like you many of us are waiting. I'll be waiting on what model you decide to order. I will see you on a pre-ordering day ;) Happy pre-ordering!
