Don't remind me of this morning and afternoon. I legit had a panic attack and I blacked out. I was in a war zone. I don't even remember what happened today, LOL!

My man you have a Touch Bar but it is filled with MacRumours tabs, to be expect i guess.
 
Hi friends,

I might be off to bed soon. What a day today. Today was very hectic. It was pure madness. I seriously felt like I was in a war zone. I don't even remember what happened. Too much excitement and anticipation got me. If you don't believe me... you are welcome to scroll through the pages and read the posts (follow along). It was not an easy day. I'm glad it's over.

I'm glad the majority of you were able to get your order in. Congratulations to all of you. I strongly believe Apple was able to deliver excellent news today. I'm very happy with what Apple had to offer. Rest assured, we only have 7 days left till we receive our new Mac's. If you have a November/December delivery date. No need to worry, You will have them in your hands way before the promised date. Apple always delivers over-promise.

Have a Good night. Stay strong. Stay blessed, May the force be with us all. Tomorrow is a new day :)

I thought you about to show two suns/moons here with the last bit, got baited.

Loving the memes lol.
A great episode.
 
A base model MBP 14 is heading to Rome, Italy for delivery 26 October. Delivery dates didn't fall back as quickly here likely because Apple had to produce a certain number of units with an Italian keyboard in advance.

Odd, my order says arriving Dec 10-23 but if i go to the store and spec out the identical machine then it says nov 19-25. Should I cancel it and reorder or is this some weird logistics thing that will clear itself up.

Debating about reording anyways since I think my wife can get the education discount.
 
Yep, no notch, if the notch had Face ID I wouldn’t mind then, I’m not going to use the new camera. 👇🤦‍♂️

Also don’t like the new all black keyboard looks a bit cheap. Hope it’s not all plastic.
I don't mind the notch. The webcam in my Intel MBA is crap, so if the notch makes these new webcams less crap I'm OK with it. FaceID would have been great, as winter approaches my hands get quite dry so touch-ID often fails. Oh well.

Not sure on the keyboard though; mine looks like it was nicely built into the unit itself whereas the new ones look like someone just found a black plastic rectangle and squashed it into a case cut-out. No deal breaker though, but I'm curious as to what they look like in real life.

There's no point in me ordering now, or in store, as I'm in Switzerland and they do crazy things with the Y and Z keys, so I need to customise my order with a British keyboard anyway. I do want to upgrade my 2020 i5 Air, mainly as the thing is louder than TYAL's neighbourhood army jet when on a webex call, but I'll wait until people are reviewing them.

As in proper reviews, not some stupid YouTuber who gushes over everything before you realise they didn't even turn it on, just waved it in front of the camera saying how cool it looks.

One of the reasons why I’m not happy that we got a notch and no Face ID, touch ID is crap for me as well, maybe I need to stop helping out with the dishes lol.

Agree, the current model keyboard looks more premium with the aluminium showing, Tim Cook cutting cost. 🤔 I’ll reserve further judgment until I see the keyboard in person.

Going to be a nice upgrade i5 to M1 pro 👌

These FakeTubers are useless, they sign multiple NDAs most of their reviews are fake trash.

I‘m going to check them out in store first 🔎🧐💻 then I’ll make my decision.
 
@Boardiesboi i can get $375 off the 16" model if i buy it from jb hi fi when they have the 10% off macs sale 🤔

If anything goes wrong with the beast, can I take it to apple or only JB?
Yes they usually do 10% off new macs in a month or two. If you’re quick you can go to Officeworks for pricematch and get another 5% off. But they’re only for base models.

If it’s a hardware fault then JB should help you because of Australian consumer law. Otherwise get AppleCare+ and go to Apple.
 
Anybody in here also running a PC gaming RIG, but had to get in on the fun ??

Put me down for a 14inch, Max, 64gb 1tb, space gray

I work for MS, and have been away from the Mac scene for like 2-3 years (but still had an iPad/iPhone), I can't wait to get back into it. My heart and soul will always be Mac.

It will be interesting to compare the Max to my AMD 5950x and 3080.

That extra 5% is awesome 👌😂 done it before, the manger at officeworks wasn’t happy. 😁 15% off iTune cards plus a extra 5% off. 😁😂 shame that’s gone.

I‘ve never had apple care + on a mac, don’t plan on starting now.
