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.
I agree. I think that the space gray has a level of classiness that the silver doesn't. Maybe I'm jaded because I've always bought silver, but there is something to that space gray on a MBP/MBA 🤩.
 
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.
I'm just going to act like I didn't read your comment below. LOL

You are going to love the M1 Pro 14". It's a well worthy upgrade. Apple did whatever they could to make it the best machine in the Technological market. It's a industry leading Laptop ;) As we get closer to the launch we will discover more secrets of the beast.
 
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?
I can never say that I'm done with watch band shopping. 🤦‍♂️😂 I owe a big thank you to @Boardiesboi his the one that found it for me. 🙏 Anything from the maccas loose change menu on me mate. 😂

I cannot tell if you are saying this to yourself or @beach bum, specifically the bottom part.
 
So @LFC2020 is this the reason you decided NOT to order it?

I was certain you'd be all over it!!
Pretty much, since i'm not going to use the 1080p camera, having a notch there without Face ID is a red flag for me, great for others who will take advantage of that better camera.

Oh well my M1 MacBook Pro is only a year old, she'll be more than enough till Tim Cook gives me what I want lol.
 
😩 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'.
Don't give into her peer pressure, she's reeling you in. 😳😂
 
I’m honestly more excited about the Apple Cloth then the Mac itself.
What!? You cancelled the wrong Mac! You'd best move up to M1 Max to get reoriented.

When will I learn? I wasted five minutes doing battle with desktop Safari before bailing to the iPhone Apple store app. In that time, I relegated my order to L+1w status and won't get my Max until Nov 3. Kept wishing my order might bump up, but it seems solidly fixed. Maybe, if I mention your name Apple might accelerate my order?

Can't get around to thinking the apple cloth is necessary, tho.

Well, like I said... I'm 80% there already. Either way, I initiated a trade in for the M1 since I'm not using it as I anticipated--COVID and will (most) likely use that credit towards the 14" along with trading in the Mini at time of purchase. BUT, I still want to wait until I can get in-store before I make my final decision.😁

Why does she need a M1 Max for safari and YouTube? 🤦‍♂️

You can start collecting nice bands like I do and only ever wear 3 or 4 out of the 30+ bands that I have 🤣
Do better than loose change menu mate 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's already started happening, my deep navy solo loop has been sitting in my draw since I got rid of my S6. 🤦‍♂️😂

Come on mate, you can't beat a 50 cents maccas soft serve cone lol.

The only difference I saw was the GPU and RAM. I graduated from grad school already so I'm not working heavy on projects anymore. I only use my current MacBook for Safari and YouTube. That's it.
 
I think YayAreaLiving is Tim Cook or something because the amount of energy she’s putting into getting lfc2020 and beach bum to buy one of these machines is a level of devotion to Apple previously unknown
I'm trying to save both of them. It's a work of art, putting in that hard work lol. Hopefully they upgrade. If One of them upgrade. I will be happy.

@LFC2020 needs to realize the notch is here to stay for next 4-6 years. That’s the bottom line.

Always told myself she secretly works for apple, explains why I was the only person in Australia to get a silver SS 45mm Apple Watch for pickup on launch day. 🤔
