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

@LasersGoPewPew how are you making out with the 14 and the 16”? Are you leaning towards one more than the other? Inquiring minds would like to know. 😁

I have a feeling she may settle down with a 14" MacBook since it's more compact and portable for her needs. Both machines are amazing though.

I know that she was concerned with the size and weight, but I couldn’t give up my 16”. This love affair will hopefully last for years. 🥰
Well it hasn't even been 24 hours yet but initial results are the 16 can hold down a lot more paper due to its size and weight. But the 14 is much better to snuggle with that's for sure.
 
Agree, that is one of the ugliest signatures I’ve ever seen lol. 😬 ruins the whole sleeve.
You’re back!!!! 😁 I thought that after all of your Front Page fame, that you left us behind. 🥺😩

I know that Woz was pretty instrumental in the early development process, but as far as I’m concerned he has no place now. Totally desecrated that beautiful sleeve!

Haha, can’t wait to find out which one you are going to keep :). We all want to know and waiting for you.
 
Can we have a Woz edition MBP with the light up Apple logo again?

Yes, ordered this morning.

You should send an email and ask them when will they start shipping out? Maybe they will give you an exact date range? I don’t want to bug them anymore, haha! I’m so happy you with the red and blue color edition. It will look very good with your Mac

Well, as your therapist 😊, you know that I’ll tell you to go with the one that most suits your needs and that you are comfortable with.

At least you have a good length of time to continue to put both through its paces before you make your final decision.

Well I have been looking for a good paperweight.

Sure

I agree. The length of time you have is plenty to decide which Mac you want to keep. Take your time :)

UPS seems to think my package is actually lost but I honestly doubt that? A lot of us have very similar tracking histories…. 🤔
 
I agree. The extended days to return the not likable mac is insane. Plenty of time to choose and pick.
I’m thankful that I didn’t have any doubts about what I wanted. I know that a lot of people have to test both out before making a decision and it’s good that Apple has a very relaxed return policy.

Now, if Apple would ship my polishing cloths ahead of schedule, I will be a happy person. I’m really hoping that they would arrive before the holidays since I plan to give them as stocking stuffers for those family members that I’ve convinced to go all Apple. 😁 Now, I just have to convince the rest, but I’m working on it.

That might not be a good thing as it just gives me more time to fall in love with both of them.
 
technically according to Apple I haven’t even reached the first day of my delivery window - November 5th to 10th. The actual tracking page says it’s coming November 9th.

Has anyone bypassed their ETA dates with no update from Apple?

Now you should get hold of Apple and provide them this. If they then agree that it is lost, then both they and UPS are on the hook for sending you a replacement, and expedited at that. Additionally, you should ask Apple if they can extend the return period for you because UPS lost your Mac.

BL.
 
For those of us that received a bad MBP, any updates on your replacement?

I had a bad display and was told to return it and I would receive a new one in 3-5 business days. They processed the return on Saturday, so I called on Sunday evening and was told I would receive it on Friday ("That's what their internal system said"), even though the website said Nov 24-Dec 2 (and still says that). Called again this afternoon and was told "I don't have any shipping info" and "I'm not sure, but you'll probably get it tomorrow or Friday.". So my confidence in getting it before Thanksgiving is really low. It's especially annoying that I've already been charged via my Apple Card and have to pay the first payment before I even receive it.

Hopefully others that got a bad MBP are having better luck than I am.

Apple already processed a replacement yesterday. Should I reach out and try to get them to expedite it further somehow? Not sure if that’s even possible with the shipping delays.

I can certainly attempt to get them to extend the return period.

Even with all my recent fame 😎 I’ll never leave you guys behind. Just not sure what we can and can’t speak about. Don’t want to get in trouble. 😇

Word 👊 especially with that autograph. 🤦‍♂️
Looks like something my 1 year old cousin would write.
