So is he gonna get one or am I gonna have to shove one down his throat? 🤨
LOL!!! At this point, I think that we should all throw in the towel with trying to convince him to get a cloth. 🤣 The more we push the more that stubborn streak of his is going to come through.

See @LFC2020 I’m looking out for you. 👊😬
 
Isn't the lowest brightness just off? Or is it slightly above the lowest?
Had to send back this sexy number back 😐 because apple wouldn't give us the keyboard setting on the iPad Pro to manually set the keyboard brightness like on the MacBooks.

I can see a white MacBook Pro in my future. 🥰

LOL, These cloths are taking very good care of my Apple devices though, especially MacBook Pro.

😂 still think I need help?

You can ask for any amount on eBay, however looking at the sold ones they are getting between the $40s and up to $79.99 for a single cloth. Crazy!
 
We’re at 7% in my state. It really isn’t that bad for me since I have access to both the edu and veteran’s store. Still not getting it. 😁
No tax here in Oregon 😀

I know who I'm coming to when I want cheap apple products from the states 😁😂

It is next level gorgeous, getting sad looking at the photos again 😐 was willing to take the risk with the white keyboard, not having a setting to turn off auto keyboard brightness was a deal breaker.

That’s too bad. He was already dead to me anyways 😀
We need to throw the both of you in a locked room with your MBPs and let you battle it out game style. 😂 Whichever battle/war game that will play well on the MBP is fine, just take your pick.

You would have the advantage though as you have both the 14 and 16”.

Are you still leaning towards keeping the 14?

I guess you didn’t want to go through Settings to adjust the keyboard brightness? That white keyboard does look very sleek. 👌

LFC2020 can become a man of the cloth. More “polished" individual.

I’m a total noob when it comes to simulated/online games. You two would have to work out the logistics. I’m more of a board, card, ball gamer.

I do know how to play Atari though… think 1970’s. 🥴 Oh, and I can play a mean Angry Birds and usually win at solitaire. 😂 That’s the extent of my experience although I’ve been banned from playing Angry Birds—you can get seriously addicted trying to advance the levels. 😳
 
uh oh... 🙈
just tried out the great new webcam on my 14" Matchbook Pro...

It is soooo good that it picks up the 50HZ flickering of the lights in my room...😕 just what I have needed...
good that I can at least light my work desk with my desktop lamp (that doesn't flicker in the same frequency...) when I am doing video calls all day next week...

So let's add to my shopping list: a bunch new LEDs that will hopefully be flicker free... (already checked a couple of leftovers I had in the drawer... all of the off-brand ones we usually use do flicker... the ones from more expensive brands work...)

I honestly didn't even imagine how many add on extra costs there would be...🤪
(new external drives, new cables, a real hand stitched leather sleeve, new LED lightbulbs, cleaning cloth (still kind of wondering about the one from apple), apple watch bands for comfy typing (very important add on actually), and probably even more...)
(and yes, the new MacBook is actually replacing my old 2016 13" Macbook pro... and is not my first Laptop...😂 otherwise my shopping list would have been even longer with all those fancy dongles)

Squid game 😈

Leaning towards the 14 right now. I’d probably keep the 16 if I’d never have to type on it. I think its just the way I type. I had my brother type on it with no issues at all
 
For the first time ever I emailed Tim Cook this morning, about the order processing and concerning shipping delays the magnitude I haven't seen in over 25 years. I do not expect anything other than a canned response from Tim's team - but if I get anything substantive I will share it with the board. I am really fed up but as consumer's there is only so much we can do.
👏 glad you took the stand. Hopefully you get a response and keep us posted!!

Just curious. How is typing different on 16? Aren’t they the same keyboard.

I don’t think he’s going to own the Apple polishing cloth eventually. 😂 he’s all set. I’m not sure how long it’s going to take.
