Well I mean it's all semantics here, it's just if you say 'USA & other countries' (with none specified) and then say 'only' it doesn't make sense, because you've already included all countries. If you say 'USA only' that makes sense, or 'USA & other countries' makes sense too. Maybe, if the UK is the only other separate thread it could be 'USA & all countries besides the U.K.'? But I realize that's a little wordy. And exclusive. Really I think everyone should just be in one thread if we're already going to mix countries in here anyway.
Maybe she meant to say 'USA & other countries only.' So if you live in a region that is not classified as a country then you're not welcome here and shall be swiftly banned from further posting.
 
@TheYayAreaLiving - When is your polishing cloth coming? Same day as your MBP?

People are freaking out about it on the front page news and I really want to see what it's like LOL
I have mine scheduled for the end of next week. I'll post some pictures when it arrives.

Custom spec 14' Nov 3-5.

64GB/Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine/Space Gray/1tb/English keeb.

From this thread, it seems I got in pretty early. Neat. Oct 26 being the earliest date ive seen, and I dont think "custom" non-default specs are that quick?

Fingers crossed its the 3rd.

Will be a bit irritated if the thing doesn't come with a cleaning cloth. 4 big ol thousand dongers.
 
For anyone who's been through this before - when should people with launch day delivery expect to start seeing movement? Do we know if these are coming straight from China or are they already stockpiled in the USA?

You'll be one of the first people to get hold of this elusive cloth! Deliveries pushed out to Dec/Jan now OMG

Surely there'll be stock for launch day pick up in store?

I'm happy with my M1 MBA from last year but I can't wait to see all your deliveries and hear about how powerful the M1 Pro/Max will be. I think I'm gonna upgrade to the M2 MBA with notch next year.

Right, I'm so excited to get my Apple branded polishing cloth, LOL! I''m not sure if they are going to be available but it doesn't hurt to stop by and check the store. They may have it. We have 4 Apple stores in Las Vegas, Nevada so I will definitely check 2 of them, after work.

I believe they are coming directly from China. Fingers are crossed we receive our UPS labels today.
 
I've adjusted my setup so that everything in my home office setup except my DAC* can be connected to my MacBook via one thunderbolt cable. One port now means I can instantly connect a 4k monitor, an ultrawide monitor, mouse, keyboard, USB 3.1 hub, and power to the laptop all in one go. Works great.

Previously I needed three thunderbolt ports total: one for the 4k monitor + hub, another for the ultrawide display, and one for my DAC. I now only need two, one for my DAC and one for everything else.

I wanted to do this because the new MBPs only have three thunderbolt ports and when I'm at home with all of my usual gear plugged in I like to keep a thunderbolt port spare for fast connectivity with accessories without bottlenecking the total bandwidth by plugging the accessory into my thunderbolt hub. My new setup means going from 4 thunderbolt ports to 3 is no longer an issue.

My only concern now is whether or not I will need to have MagSafe at my desk or if the 100W of power the hub provides is enough to keep my laptop charged when the M1 Max is at peak performance mode.

*I intentionally plug in my DAC directly into the MacBook to minimize potential quality issues + it's easier to detach and bring with me in a hurry.
