In that case, I’m glad I got my order in. Woo Hoo! It was worth ordering whatever from Apple yesterday 😂

Lol! Wow, even microfiber cloths are affected by the chip shortage! /s

Glad I got my order in yesterday. I miss the cloths that used to come as complimentary with the old MBPs. Still have one floating around somewhere.
Maybe it has a M1 Pro or Pro Max chip inside the cloth?
 
Where is the new M1 pro Mac mini, might join you in buying one. 🤔

Think I'm 99% sure I'm not buying a MacBook Pro.

Great device, but I can't get over that notch, especially a notch without Face ID.

Tim Cook please give me a damn MacBook Pro with Face ID or no Face ID and no notch. 🙏

Very good article.

LOL!!! Everything I've been seeing here on the boards indicate a Spring/Fall 2022 arrival for the new Mini. 😩

I'm actually on the opposite... 80% sure that I'm going to cave and get the 14"/1tb, and the notch doesn't bother me since 95% of the time will be used docked with my 2 monitors... just don't tell @TheYayAreaLiving 😂.

I figure if I do cave, it will only work if I trade in my Intel MM AND the M1 MBA. I'm just not sure what to do.

OTH, my job has pretty much confirmed that my dept will be majorly WFH with maybe 1 day in the office, so it isn't as though I need both my current mini/m1 whereas the 14" can serve both purposes--docked and portable.

I'll probably go into the Apple store next weekend and test out the new SEXY beasts😂 and make my decision then.
 
Hahahah! No way I’m cancelling out my order. I’m just 50/50 on it. I’m not too sure I may just keep the space gray. Should I order silver one too and keep both?

Can’t decide, help your girl out.
How quickly they forget... You are NOT allowed to go near the online Apple store/app until the iPhone 14 pre-orders. 😂🤪 No ordering the Silver to see if you like it... stick with your original plan and visit the Apple store next week to check them out and if you like the Silver better, see if you can swap. (insert Mom emoji)😂
 
I’m honestly more excited about the Apple Cloth then the Mac itself.
Hopefully the cloth was easier to order than the pixel phones, what a terrible launch, killed all the hype in 5 minutes once preorders opened lol.

Maybe apple can teach them how to setup a proper ordering system. 😂

 
They might release it via a press release soon. 🤔

Hopefully the mini doesn't get a notch as well. 🤦‍♂️😂

The 14" model is a beautiful machine if the notch doesn't bother you.
That's why I'm still on the fence hoping that the M1 Pro mini will be released sooner rather than later. Apple sure doesn't make it easy... at least for those of us who don't mind the notch.

They sure don't make it easy, Hopefully you hear some more news on a possible release date for the new mini.

Everyone here is getting excited about their new beast of a MacBook Pro order, here I am getting excited that I finally found a baltic blue leather watch band in my size, how the mighty has fallen. 😂

Next year with the prosumer versions of the iMacs....Apple is done releasing products this holiday season:
  • new colors for the HomePod minis
  • AirPods Gen 3
  • 14-inch/16-inch MBPs
  • iPhone 13 family
  • Apple Watch S7
  • iPad Mini (6th gen)
  • iPad (9th gen)
That is a ton of products already and I think thematically, it would make more sense to group the Mac Mini with the prosumer version of the iMacs next year.

That's a very good point. I agree Mac Mini is expected to be released next year to complete a two year transition for Silicon Valley chip.

Awesome! I can't believe that you finally found the Baltic Blue 🤩. Are you done with bands for awhile now that you have you baltic blue incoming?

They can't handle the pressure. Poor Pixel phones.

That's a good idea. I will definitely do that. I will make a trip down to the Apple Store next week and see how the silver looks. I may just keep the Space Gray. It's very classy. Silver color does get boring at times.
 
Struggling to choose between 14 or 16. Been using a 13" 2017 MBP for nearly 4 years and remember wanting the larger screen. For work I've used both a 15" and then more recently a 16" and was delighted in some respects (screen real estate, firmness when typing), but not delighted in others (sometimes felt too big, weight an occasional issue). I also rarely connected my 13" MBP to an external monitor whereas my work machines are connected to an external monitor 95% of the time. Decisions, decisions. Anyone care to sway me one way or another?

😩 See! This is the very thing that pushing me to get the 14". Ok, I must not act hastily. I will go into the Apple store next weekend and check them out. I'm almost afraid to do that since the 16" looks pretty awesome, but in reality is more power than I would ever use--even for 'future proofing'.
