I want to trade in my 2018 macbook pro to get the 14 inch laptop..right now apple offers 540 for it which I guess is acceptable since its a 3 yr old machine..I am using the EDU site in order to get the price at 1849.99..but it only gives me the option to trade in the device and once they receive it they will inspect it and say if I get that price..problem is Ive read the horror stories of how people have sent in perfectly good devices but are told after they ship it in that something was wrong with it etc etc etc and they offer less money, that sending it in is NOT a good idea so not sure what to do

You can trade in at an Apple Store instead of mailing in - they give you the gift card before you leave. I did this with my old Macbook Air last week and got exactly the online quoted price, it took less than 5 minutes.

Yeah I want to order one but I have a store gift card for a 15 inch that I traded in about a year ago. i also have my 13 inch that I would like to trade in and also use a Amex for the remainder. I can’t find a way to do this on line. Stoped in the store to try and make it work. When I told the genius that I wanted to order a Mac book he asked if I was aware they they just announced new ones. They didn’t have them in there system yet. I’m going to stop back tomorrow and try and get a order through. Just as a backup send it to a friends address.

The trade in you can set up before you add the Pro to your cart. You should be able to load the gift card to your Apple account balance ahead of time and select apply account balance during check out and pay the rest with a card. I did all this today minus the trade in because I'd already done the trade-in at the store and gotten a gift card for it that I loaded onto my account balance.

There is no way that you are getting the MacBook Pro, especially before the review embarogos! LOL!

Hahaha I know I won’t. I’m still going to ask Apple I was promised a wrong date. Need to get extra microfiber cloth for free. No way I’m paying $19 for a piece of cloth 😆 😂

No way I’ll sell this gorgeous sierra blue goddess lol. 😎🥰

Going to wait and see them in person first, most likely keep my Mac for another year or two, then hello no notch or Face ID. 😁

It might take 4-6 years for the notch to go away. Look how long it took with iPhone X. The notch is still not gone.

Give me a break 😂 given apple to much money last year and this year.

Not in a rush for the M1 pro beast, still not feeling the notch.

I’ll check them out in person first before making my mind up.

Shipping times already slipping, definitely mot ordering one now. 🕺😁😂

@TheYayAreaLiving Does your order status show Oct 21 too or still Oct 26? In Canada I could only select Standard Shipping so I tried your trick and the guy immediately changed it to Expedited for me but still shows Oct 26 :D

I ordered the 14 inch base maybe 10 mins after the event. I decided to choose the 96W charger. Well that pushed mine to Nov 3-5. Guess there is still a delay on the 96W.

I think any BTO, even a charger substitution is going to alter delivery time.
 
Folks! I just got off from work.

@LFC2020 i just spotted this U.S. Air Force Jumbo Plane. These are very rare! What’s it going to take for you to upgrade. I can make some phone calls to the U.S. Air Force and have them bring your M1 Pro 💻 in that cargo air plane. Flying you out from the best of the best! Speciality treatment!

They’ll be quick. But isn’t there a performance that’s been improved or is it just the colors they changed and that was it?

Unless I missed something, I don’t think that there was any change in performance, just the added colors. I know everyone has bashed the HomePod, but I love mine and wish that I had bought a 2nd before they were discontinued. 🥺

Yeah, the hardware technology development curve at this point in the cycle is not going to take anywhere near that long. It’s not an analogue, the technology that will be either a holdpunch or behind the screen for a mobile phone device will quickly make it’s way into a laptop.
