You know I'll never buy a windows laptop, I'm too deep in the apple game, only one way out for me now lol, the keyboard looks cool though.

This Apple Magic keyboard looks way too good. It's simple, elegant and very rich. It's magnificent!

That's for sure, and if it only had backlit keys, I'd have ordered it. For a company who has been putting backlit keyboards on their notebooks for well over a decade, why can't they make a desktop version.
 
Congrats, looks stunning.

Question on everyones mind, did you get lucky and get 4 apple stickers like some people did, or was it only 2?
Haha, one of the first things I checked! Alas, not so lucky, and I got just the 2 black Apple stickers. I've never used those stickers before, but maybe I'll find something to stick it on this time given they're black. What do people use these for?

Wow! It is such a nice and lovely setup. Congratulations! Love the thunderbolt cable in play. You are going to miss the touch bar, haha! Also, did you take that picture of the Golden Bridge?
Yah, I also didn't mind the Touch Bar, although admittedly didn't really use it too much given so much of my use was in closed clamshell mode. I think the main times I used it was in Safari to open a new tab quickly, emojis during iMessages, and fast-forwarding through Youtube videos.

And no, not a photographer at all! It's from a Free Desktop Wallpaper site - I have a bunch of them that I rotate through every month or so when I want to switch things up.

What headphones?

Same here, only 2 stickers, never used them either, only things i've seen them on, back windows of cars and Macs.

Car no chance, don't want some android fanatic keying my car lol.

Might stick them on my fridge. ?‍♂️

Yes! All current Apple products must have it's own Apple cloth. This is mandatory.

Wait! What? My purchases this year: 11” iPad Pro 2020, Apple TV 4K, iPhone 13PM, Apple Watch (and bands galore), MacBook Pro 14”. After all that avalanche of $$$$, I need to buy 5 (FIVE) cloths too????

My Mac had an estimated between 26 Nov and 3 Dec and today it has been shipped.
 
Woohoo, my 14" M1 Pro 10/16 32GB/1TB in Space Gray finally arrived! Decided to start this one fresh, and just finished manually transferring my files from my 2016 13" MBP via a direct Thunderbolt 3 cable. Was crazy fast, SSD to SSD - you may not be able to tell from the last photo, but I transferred ~340gb in under 15minutes!

Now just going through and manually reinstalling the apps I need. Really loving the 14" form factor - even though I primarily use my MBP in closed clamshell mode into a 27" LG 4K monitor and external Magic Keyboard / Trackpad 2, I also use it frequently in bed and around the house, so portability was a factor for me. She's a beauty!

Very nice setup! So clean and organized. 🤩 Ok, I’ve been shamed and will have to clean up my area today. 🥺 Again, congratulations!.
 
I only had about an hour free last night to start setting up the new 14", but here it is. 10/16/32GB/1TB M1 Pro.

First impression out of the package: This is nice and compact, compared with the 16" MBP it's replacing. I had a 13" model some years ago, and I'd missed its relative portability.

Second impression: This thing is dense! It's heavier than it looks, though still lighter than my old MBP. Makes my ASUS Zephyrus G14 feel like a cheap plastic toy.

The body styling reminds me of my first 15" MBP, back in 2008. I miss the tapered styling of later models, but only a little. It's still a handsome machine, and I confess I like the new all-black keyboard. Nice travel on these keys.

That display is fabulous, and I've already stopped noticing the notch. I will use it docked a fair amount, so it's not a showstopper in any case.

I did not restore from Time Machine, but will install my applications fresh and copy the files I need from the backup manually. Less cruft that way, which is how I like it for a brand new machine.

Tonight, more setup.
