😁 decided To pull the trigger on a 14 inch🎉🥳🙌🏼 gonna be my 2 MacBook ever, so excited….@theyayarealiving

you got me again, I’m gonna be broke 🤣🤙🏼✌🏼
Yay! Congratulations! Glad you order your Mac. I’m pretty sure you are going to love it. This was a perfect time to upgrade! You pulled the trigger!!! We’re all going to be broke after next week. Saving mode is being ACTIVATED soon! Going to stay away from the Apple store lol 😂
 
🙏🙏🙏

I’m worried once I see them in person I’ll want one, apple products always look 1000 times better in person.
NO!!! Don’t give into temptation! 😁 You’ve already said that your M1 perfectly suits your needs.

I’ve grounded myself and am not allowed to even think about logging into the Apple store until they announce the release of a new M1 Pro Mac Mini. 🤣

I said earlier that I am REALLY tempted by the M1 Pro MBP, but the more I’m reading the comments/Front Page, the more I’m trying to talk myself into jumping in with both feet.

We need to stay strong!!! 😁

@beach bum you should upgrade too. The 💻 can support several external monitors 🤫 who knows when Apple will release the Mac mini. It ain’t going to be this year.
 
Part of the benefit of not waiting for Tim Apple to finish his long-winded monologue, is getting to be first in line for the 16", 32 GB, M1 Max.

I wonder how the ARM w/ Metal version of Baldur's Gate 3 runs on this bad boy. 🤣

LOL!!! 🤣 As of right now, my wallet and my big eyes don’t match. 💵💰🥺. I’ll re-assess if Apple doesn’t release the new MM by year-end… I can always use the MBP in clam-mode, but seriously, I need to put a little more money into my account before I think about pulling the trigger. 😳😁
 
I may be in the minority, but I think the notch is a great and elegant design approach for locating the camera at the top while maintaining a narrow bezel. The menu bar shares that space, and when in full screen mode the notch is above the viewable area so it doesn’t come into play. For example, my XPS 13 completely botched the camera placement at the bottom of the screen so it looks up your nose when using it, then when Dell released the new model they relocated it to the top and increased the size of the bezel. A lose-lose design. Other manufactures have done about as poorly. But beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. I get that. That’s why my rigs are all 4x4s. Coming from farm life, cars just don’t do it for me.

Your credit is going to break itself in half in an act of suicide.

Means you have good taste! The improved XPS 9300 camera I have is on top, but it's so grainy it looks like I'm in a hostage video.

Apparently that's because they compromised on thinner bezels vs a well-functioning camera.
 
@LFC2020 still think the keyboard looks cheap? The keyboard looks so elegant and it has that matte black texture. All black design. It looks so premium.

Didn’t you wanted that matte black iPhone? Wasn’t that on your wishlist back in September?

When do cases and accessories start coming out? I’m hoping to get one of those Nomad leather sleeves before my MBP arrives on the 26th. Any thoughts?
 
Comparison of my old MacBook Pro and new. Placed my order 3 minutes after pre-orders went life, I was fumbling with different variations, there were tons of them. Finally settled on this. Oct 26th estimate, hopefully I get it sooner like I did my iPhone 12. Can't wait!!

OMG! You are being way too negative today. You woke on the wrong side of the bad or what. Dude, notch is here to stay for next 4-6 years it’s not going to go away. It’s an iconic Apple’s design. The design is just perfect. Apple throughly thought every single Millimeter of this MacBook.

The keyboard doesn’t look cheap. You can’t judge just by renders. You said the same thing about Apple Watch and you ended up getting one. You love it! Let’s be real here.

You said..

Maybe I’ll change my mind once I see them in person, will you let me do that? Or are you going to keep telling me to buy one. 😂

My intake…

I’m gonna say NO! Get yourself a 💻 M1 Pro. The beast has been unleashed. Stop finding lame excuses. Stop being negative for no reason and stop hating on the notch. If you hate the notch so much why are you rocking iPhone 13 128GB. Huh?
Don’t feed the trolls

I don't think it looks cheap per se. Everyone knows Apple products aren't cheap. BUT, they do look odd. Almost like they stuck a keyboard in the laptop, meaning it is less integrated looking.

Having no metal space gray between keys makes it look that way IMO.
