I have to stop reading this thread!!! I have been super duper extremely satisfied with my 14 inches. Now a little voice in my head is whispering "you shoulda got that 16 incher, it was only $200 more". LOL luckily I don't have an extra $200 right now, so; the little voice is being ignored!.
 
Dang! MacBook Pro 14" is still the real KING! Leaving MacBook 16" behind, once again.

Just added my vote to the 14" bin...almost forgot! 2 more 14" votes since your post and 0 additional for 16" 🤔
 
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.

Sold out 16/32/1TB in Denver. 30 available lesser spec'd configs most with only 512GB storage.

My card was charged 10/26. My Pro is in Incheon, KR. It was in China for a week. My trade in is due Friday. Apple and I will have a nice talk on Monday if my Pro is still on the way.
Dang! Sorry to read this :(. I hope it arrives quickly for you.

I ordered on 10/18, fighting the server issues after the keynote. But I had my order in within 5-10 minutes of the keynote. Meanwhile all these MaxTech type YouTube buttholes order every config possible and have them all it seems, only to mass return them later. I just want my one! I sold my intel 16” 5600m on swappa in late September in anticipation, and have been flying MacLess ever since. It’s been beyond rough. I had to borrow a retired trash can from work to get by on some overdue edits. Roughing it!
 
The aluminum on the bottom does, otherwise the top of the mouse is more black in appearance.
Thank you! Thinking of buying one but I want to see them next to each other first (in person) do you have own one? Would you mind taking a picture of them If you both have them?

My 💻 is somewhere in China, but here you can see it matches all the space gray accessories perfectly. Forgive the messy desk. I’m MacLess!

LOL!!! You DEFINITELY need to stop reading this thread. If you are happy with the 14”, stick with it. If you keep reading, that little voice in your head will start shouting at you. 🤣
 
He should be happy he has one. Ordered 5 minutes before the presentation was over. Pro has been in Incheon since yesterday.
Monday seems too long to wait to speak with Apple. Any chance of giving them a call later today if you still don’t see any movement? It’s cutting it pretty close with your return window of next Friday. I’m hoping that it’s already in the states and the tracking hasn’t been updated yet. Either way, please keep us informed of your progress. 🤞🙏

No pre-order in Apple history has gone so awry. IMHO Apple is doing a disservice to a loyal customer base. Personally I am appalled being bent over the proverbial Apple knee.

My return window better not start until I receive it. I was billed 10/25. Return window is probably over this weekend. My trade in box is due back Friday. We already had a discussion on that and I was told I have until the 25th, which is acceptable to me.

I have all corespondence and tracking. Even opened an investigation with Apple. This is an Apple/UPS screw up.

If I was in your shoes… listen to your soul… get the 16” you will love it :)
 
Massive shipping screw up. So much for Apple’s great logistics. They need more reliable shipping and faster clearance through customs.

Empty promises late this year.

Not sure what happened with UPS this year. There are set delayed everywhere with iPhones, Apple Watch and the MacBook! Maybe they can’t handle it themselves?

Yeah, MacBook 16” was catching up to the 💻 14” but it looks like that’s no longer the case anymore. Thanks for voting :)
 
Any guesses for when my 16” Max will leave China? The charges cleared on my AppleCard this morning. I’m officially on the hook!

Possibly tomorrow since it will be a Monday in China? Hopefully you get your 💻 early on next week :)
