Same here! I remember buying a mbp in February of 2019 (from a 2013 mpb) simply out of boredom and it was on sale… luckily I learned about the butterfly keyboard fiasco and returned it before I even thought to open it.


Thanks to this forum I’ve jumped on the preorder wagon and the day is finally here!! We’ve all been (im)patiently waiting for this moment.

I bought my first iPad when the 12.9 M1 was released…. My husband thinks that if decide to keep the new MBP 14” that I should keep both. It’s a lovely thought. I don’t splurge on laptops/tablets often.l either…. Heck, my 2013 MBP is still hanging in there.

Regardless I am way excited these babies are being released onto the world next Tuesday!
The fact it is delayed until November and December hurts. I’m glad you were able to order your 💻 on time and obtain a launch date delivery. I honestly believe the performance of the Mac alone will amaze us.

When is null?!
 
Just changed my vote to 14" (from undecided). If I was going to go 16", the weight had to go down dramatically. It's actually gone up from 2kg to 2,15kg. The size is more or less the same. I have a hard time lugging this 16" around, so my new, permanent, long-term, live with it for 10 years machine has to be lighter.

The 14" is sweet. To my surprise, it's actually slightly heavier than the late 2013 Retina 13" which I had before this 16". Which is ok, because I dragged that 13" everywhere and 40 grams won't make the difference. Size wise it's about the same. But with the M1Max, it shoots straight up to the top of performance. Incredible that that fits into this size.
 
After 14 years of faithful service, my Late 2008 unibody MBP is finally being replaced. 16" Max 32/1TB with 10/26 delivery is on the way.. Even though the old beater has the extra fancy BTO 2.8 gHz Core 2 duo, I'm thinking the new one might be a tad faster to boot. A functioning camera, WIFI card, and ability to get past Mojave will also be a nice bonus. ;)

I think you should wear a seat belt the first time you turn the new one on.
 
Is anyone else still waiting for a confirmation email? I ordered right after the presentation.
 
Same for mine, went from 10/26 to arrives.
I’m trying not be concerned about my iPhone Apple store status updates vs my iPad Apple store status.

What’s up with that available to ship to null?

Gah, I'm so indecisive on specs and models. I have an M1 Max / 32-core GPU / 32GB RAM / 2TB model on the way, but I'm wondering if that was serious overkill for what I'll be doing on the machine. I specced up with the hopes of keeping it for 5+ years, but I've been reading a lot of people making valid points about instead using that extra money to sell in a few years and re-buy the 202X model and about how Parallels gaming isn't very good so gaming isn't a valid reason to spec up.

I could probably get by for several years with the M1 Pro / 16-core GPU / 16GB RAM / 1TB, but that requires cancelling my current orders and either re-ordering for later delivery or trying to secure one in-store next week. Not really sure what I want to do. The $1200 I spent to spec up is significant.
 
For those who have, just like me, the null date: it is just a glitch. I checked the status online and also the address shows as 'Dennis d', instead of my full name. I had this before with one of the iPhones of the last years. Everything will be fine. They are just processing your order and you will get a notification of shipping this week when in the USA, or, in my case, on Monday evening for Europe.

There’s a glitch that’s going around the system. We are promised OCT 26 delivery date.
 
Received my order confirmation at 1:56PM EST after fighting with the website for a few minutes
  • 14" / M1 MAX / 10-core CPU / 32-core GPU / 32GB RAM / 2TB SSD - Delivers Oct. 26

Ahhh! Atleast you are getting one of your Mac on an earlier date. Congratulations!!!
