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

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????
Yes! Five is a good number 😂👇

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.
Congratulations! 🤩 Very nice - I like that the contrast of the all-black keyboard isn’t so jarring against the space gray. I thought that I was the only one who really likes the color scheme.
 
I have a delivery date of Dec 1-9. Just changed to preparing to ship this morning! I’m in Canada.

I ordered a 16” M1 Pro/1TB/32GB

In Toronto and my custom order with Nov 26-Dec 3 date is still pending. Ordered on Oct 20. Hopefully will ship soon.

16” M1 Max 64gb/2TB

I had delivery time 18-24 and it came today. 16" 32/1TB
That is kind of strange since I order about the same configuration as you and mine has not even shipped yet - that is really early- I got the 16" 64/1TB version- I'm in Northern Virginia- I ordered mine on October 19- When did yours ship or ?
 
Canceled my order for a 14" and changed it for a 16" M1 Pro / 32GB / 2TB SSD. I was able to spend about a week with the 14" model and a day with the 16", and the 16" screen just won me over. It's a bit bigger, but not THAT much bigger. The better battery on the 16" M1 Pro compared to the 14" M1 Pro (2-4 hours extra) was a big motivator. That, and I've always had a 15"/16" MBP - I'm used to the size.

Estimated delivery Dec 14-21.

Upgrading from a 16" Intel i9 that I sold for $2100 1 week before the new 16" was announced. I bought that 16" Intel to future proof me for 5-6 years, but then with the Apple Silicon transition, realized that probably wasn't going to happen. Now, hoping this new 16" lasts me for at LEAST 6 years...

Ahhh, such an expensive year for you too. Haha, why not 😂 it doesn’t hurt to add 5 cloths into the cart ;)

Congratulations! We know ur going to be busy tonight setting up the max ;) hope you enjoy your Mac 💻
 
Looks like Samsung is back at it again. They may be giving away free Polishing Cloth. But it is no where close to Apple’s. No where close to the Apple standards and quality. 🗣📣


@LFC2020 friend, good luck finding one until 2022. you are out of luck! Comparison video coming soon 😛

Pro tip, you don’t need any liquid with Apple cloth. The cloth itself is very heavy duty, durable and moist.

the two I have are safe and will never be used to wipe up liquids or foods. only use will be to polish this beautiful display, keyboard, and chassis.
 
OMG! Are you serious, haha. You are a trooper 🖖. I thought you were going to go to the Apple store to check. Delayed till Jan 11-25th 😣😣 once @LFC2020 sees this he’s going to lose it, haha!
Oh, I'm still going to the Apple store tomorrow... I'm looking to see if I can pick up a few more cloths in addition to my January delivery order. 😁🤩😍

That’s the way to do it. No need to use it on other stuff as it’s specifically made for Apple products :)

I ordered a 16 inch M1 Pro/32 GB/1Tb within minutes of when orders went live and mine also went PTS just now. I kinda suspected that would happen because the charge for the MBP showed up as pending on my AppleCard over the weekend. Still showing delivery date of Dec 1-8 here. Here's hoping it arrives much sooner--ideally before my road turns into an icy mess... Gotta love Vermont winters.
 
The January screenshot is my original order that I placed weeks ago. I'm now too impatient to wait that long and I'm actively hunting them down between the 3 Apple stores in my area. 😁 #ClothGoals #ClothIsLife
I love the dedication. We need more people like you in this world 🌎
