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

Oof. Another deal breaker for the 16”

Does this affect the 14?
Your beast might not have this problem.

Mine is fine at 100% and 90%

People are saying it starts happening at 80%

Happened to me at 70% yesterday.

Stupid thing won’t charge if it’s turned off and the lid is closed ? ding, ding, ding lol. ?


Haven’t heard of anyone having this issue with the 14” model.

Question is can you go back to the 14” model? ???

Anyone else experience this ? It's been like this for over a week. When it first shipped, it looked like it was coming early (the 2nd). Then it went to this! I am in the November 9 slot originally.
 
So after the movement I had yesterday I for sure thought my MacBook would be leaving Incheon on one of the planes last night but it doesn’t appear that way. No movement. I just hope it doesn’t sit in South Korea forever now… o_O

You do know that unless you are traveling with the laptop, you don’t have to shut down the computer? Just put it to sleep and close the lid. If not traveling,

I never shut my Mac down and it’s only ever restarted if required for a software update. In the past 10 years or so, I’ve never had any issues with not shutting down.
 
just ordered an M1 Pro 14" 16 core GPU / 2TB SSD / 32GB. 4-5 week til ship, Dec 17-24 delivery estimate. bummer !

What's the consensus - has apple been shipping these faster than the initial estimate? have been trying to go through this thread, but it's a real behemoth...

Yes, please! @SloRide idea is PERFECT 😍. Private talk is less restrictive and no maintenance. 😁 @LFC2020 what are your thoughts?
Therapist is right on time lol.

No maintenance if everyone gets along, don’t want any drama , you’re in charge. 😂

I’m easy mate, discuss it with the thread queen @TheYayAreaLiving and let us know what’s happening.

It is always possible that you might see an early or on-time arrival, but I wouldn’t count on it. Some have stated that their ship times have actually been pushed back.

I know, I’m use to always shutting it down, when not using it, habit 🤦‍♂️

I’m hoping it’s a software issue, can’t be bothered doing the whole return process again.

Apple stores here still aren’t accepting returns in store, courier pickup or mail in. 🙄

Already discussed. Let’s do a DM with @TheYayAreaLiving once you’re up for the day and have had coffee. I’m on the way out to run errands. Stopping at Target to see if they are carrying the new Touch ID wireless keyboard at some point. If not, I may order directly through the Veteran’s site.

Sleep well if your off before I get back.

Then it’s time to learn new habits 😂. From what everyone is reporting, I don’t think I can run my battery down before I need to plug in for work on Monday. I’ll try though once I turn my paper in… hopefully by early afternoon. 🤞

Sounds good, might wanna grab a magic keyboard for @LasersGoPewPew while you’re at it, can’t have her returning the beast and then regretting it 😬😳🤭

Bedtime for me, need my beauty sleep lol.

🛌👋

No. i ordered mine shortly after the store went live. It was assembled faster than I thought, but then it sat in China for 10 days. Estimated delivery was Nov. 5-10. It’s now moved to Korea with no estimate of when it will arrive. Maybe by Nov. 10… maybe not. I wouldn’t count on seeing it sooner than expected.

The original estimate was Nov 17-26, now Nov 11 for a 16" Max 64GB/2TB. Started shipping on Nov 2nd and now just sitting in Shanghai for the past 4 days...

I don’t ever shut down my 💻 always puts it on sleep mode. Maybe your Mac doesn’t want you shutting it down, LOL! I also prefer shutting it down once a month or something.
 
Any guesses for when my 16” Max will leave China? The charges cleared on my AppleCard this morning. I’m officially on the hook!

Heads up, for those looking for the standard config 16 inch max model 32gb / 1tb, Microcenter seems to have a few in stock at each store this morning. For example, the closest store to me in the NYC metro area has 2 silvers where as every apple store is out of stock.
