Hello folks! i did not do preorder but I got my new MBP M1 14 inch base model with 1TB from my local Best Buy yesterday (same day pick up!!)! this is a huge upgrade for me coming from MBP 2014 (finally!) never had a macbook with touch bar and it sucks I still got the heavy power adapter 😅🤣.

Wow! What an upgrade. Congratulations! Hope you enjoy your Mac. You will love the battery life, screen and the speaker. Woo hoo! Today is a good day!
 
Woo hoo! Congratulations!!! Yay, this is so awesome. Just made my day. Glad, lots of thought went into ordering this machine. Good thing is the waiting period is not too long. Some people were pushed back until end of December. Can’t wait, LET’S GO!!!!! 💻
I'm more excited than wifey at this point! 🤣 I'll let her open the MBP early as I almost forgot we'll have the 14 day trade-in window once we get the delivery. I'm the in house tech support, too, so I'll get to check it out as I set it up. I usually get the eye rolls and head shakes when I'm talking upgrade with her and she doesn't worry about all that. She will be happy though to get a more improved laptop, with a new/reliable battery. Once she sees that new and bigger screen though - I'm sure she'll be thrilled. LET'S GO!!!

I have a feeling you’ll be spending more time with the 14” laptop then she will 😆
 
@LFC2020 @beach bum I have a feeling we may not see a new M2 MacBook Pro until November, 2023. It looks like the year of 2022 may be skipped: I doubt Apple will follow a yearly upgrade plan with the 💻. Also, Apple is trying to catch up with the demand too.

Hopefully next year will not be expensive as this year 😶‍🌫️

I'm thinking that 2022 will introduce the MBA, an updated Mac Mini--maybe, 27" or larger iMac, and the Mac Pro (?). But really, who knows what Apple has in store for next year's line up.

It will be a VERY good thing if next year isn't as expensive as 2021! Saving some serious 💵💰. 😁
 
Has anyone seen shipping updates om 16" MBP (M1 Max) CTO orders?

Shipping dates Nov 29 - Dec 6


All feedback appreciated.
My order has been in progress for 16 days, no updates.
 
Retailers are not sometimes totally unfamiliar with the Apple M1 notebooks. I saw this online. Here is today's quiz: What's wrong with the information in this advertisement?

Alright - We're on the wagon here! 🥳 Getting the next up standard 14" config. BTO options were pushing shipping dates out to Christmas (literally). All the discussion here helped narrow it down to a smart choice. I accidentally never changed the color of the machine - so had to make sure my lady was OK w the Space Gray. Now we match, so there's cute points going on there.😄

Cleaning house a bit by trading in two paper weights (machines) ($70: 2011 13"MBP i7/2.7G/500HDD and $290: 2015 13"MBA i7/2.2G/512SSD) - helps toward the AppleCare and the upped components a little.

No way! Congratulations!!! It would have been better if you could ridden the pre-order ride with us, but better late than never. You are going to love your new beast!

Are you planning to update with us again next year for the iPhone 14? ??
 
This thread has a lot of replies with quotes about all kinds of topics and story lines between 2 or more people. It's hard to keep up! I am interested in many of the conversations but its hard to find replies or to know if the poster reported back. What are you all doing to keep up with the conversations? Searching by the name of the poster?

8/256... Really? ?
Oops I meant unfamiliar. Yep you caught the error. It makes potential customers not order from them because you don't know what they will ship to you! Or this can be perceived as a hoax to get your money! I will not name the retailer because I know it's a honest mistake. This is a reputable retailer.

We check everyday, every hour, minutes and by seconds! LOL That's the only way to keep up otherwise, you have to go through so many pages. Hard to catch up. Wait till you experience iPhone Pre-Order thread. :(

The poster who yesterday was freaking out because UPS showing was showing his MBP was delivered but actually wasn't, did he get his MBP. What happened?

WOW. FINALLY. Praying to Timmy Apple worked. Bye ZhengZhou…. I won’t miss you.

Now let’s see how quickly it gets from Incheon to Anchorage.
We are riding together. Just saw it after reading your post. I will now have a better weekend. Apple still says delivery 11/9 - Tuesday.
It lives! After a week, my laptop has finally escaped Hotel California Zhengzhou. Relieved I didn’t have to order a new one.
Thankfully, my laptop departed from Zhengzhou and arrived at Incheon overnight. So it seems to be moving happily again. The cause for my confusion were twofold:

1. A vague customs-related notification out of Louisville on November 1
2. No intermediate scans or reassurance that they knew where the package was in the one week it was in Zhengzhou.

Really, that confusion comes down to very poor communication from UPS. If they had let me know "hey, this is in outbound China customs and we need it to clear" or "this facility is very backed up, we're still processing and it will be out as soon as we can" I would have been a lot less worried about it.

Amusingly, the "investigation" UPS opened yesterday about my package's whereabouts remains open. The international shipping guy I talked to on the phone was very insistent that the package was actually in Louisville. Whoops.
I'm in the exact same boat - my 14" Pro 10/16 32gb/1TB has been in ZZ since Oct 29, and the weird phantom check-in on Nov 1 in Louisville kinda threw me off, although after reading this thread and the many days of no update, I was pretty sure it was still in China. Finally arrived in Korea and got a UPS Updated delivery date of next Wed Nov 10 (going to California). Oh well, my original delivery estimate was Nov 5 - 10, so will just be happy to get it next week! Probably would've been better for mental health not to check it at all haha.
