@TheYayAreaLiving Did you see Sam's YouTube review of the Apple polishing cloth. It will really make you wish you got your 7!

I have not! But I do know the new Apple polishing cloth does not look like that. It’s way more premium then that. I’m pretty sure, Apple designed it themselves too.
 
@TheYayAreaLiving
If I recall correctly you were looking for a sleeve without zippers for your new Mac… I know you just settled for that gorgeous looking leather one from holland… but maybe you know about any other sleeves?

I am looking for a sleeve without zippers or magnets for a 14“… but besides „your“ sleeve from holland and those waterfield ones from San Francisco I have a hard time finding anything at all…
Does anyone know something?
(I am Germany/Europe based so that makes everything even harder… I am already half considering trying to sew something myself…🤷🏼‍♀️)
I really didn’t expect it to be soo difficult…
Honestly, the sleeve I just ordered is the best looking sleeve I have ever seen. I’ve been a Mac user for over 10+ years. It’s hard to find any good ones. The one that I ordered looks very authentic. I hate the zippers one because you are dealing with the metal and that can potentially scratch the Mac. The zipper can also act up. Just don’t want to deal with it. Give me microfiber and leather material we are good. No scratches guaranteed!

There comes a time when I must tell myself to get real 😁 Even with the Veteran’s Discount at $17.10 per cloth, I still can’t see myself purchasing this. It’s not even featured on the front page, it’s on the second page under ‘What’s New’! Nope, not happening 🤣
Pretty sure it will be a limited edition product.

But why would they cancel your order? You got in before anyone else and bought 7. You should get 7!!!
At this point I should get 10 more total of 17! Lol idk Apple wasn’t having it, haha! Can’t wait to find out what the manager tells me. We’re going to a WAR 🤪
 
Any idea when 3rd party resellers (like B&H) will be getting M1 Pro Macbook Pros to ship? They are accepting orders, but of course they show "back ordered" status. Apple says they will be showing up in Apple Stores next week, etc., but do resellers get a bulk allotment or are they last on the list?
 
Apple uses Whoosh! in their retail stores.


Apple used to use iKlear in retail & from my experience with both I think it may be a touch better.

Yuck! Third party from Amazon. Are they still using this?

Back ordered till December, January 😂
 
So I just found out about 6% back Apple Card. I used my Amex for purchase protection and extended warranty, but the extra 3% already covers AppleCare+ for the extended warranty period and the monthly installments would be a huge bonus (I don't like spikes in my yearly graph haha)

Apple specialist suggested I return and re-order but I already got emotionally attached to this MacBook, also won't ship until late November. Oh what to do
Once you get your shipment, would Apple frown upon you returning it to the store and seeing if you could buy it with a different payment method? Or is that not a thing....

(I imagine it's not a thing because they would not like to encourage this type of behavior, eh?) ?
 
These look good for €90 and shipping should not be too much.

@TheYayAreaLiving All this talk of polishing cloths and I find my black one that they gave away with MBPs a decade ago.
Shipping wasn’t too bad. Not what I expected of course it wasn’t in American dollars lol but I don’t have control over that. Ohh! A black one? That’s cool.

You can always give a try especially with that 6% cash back, and if you Apple store has your model in stock, even better! ?
 
No, I didn't even know about them until this forum... now I wish I had! I love cleaning clothes and yes, I would pay $19 for ONE. Just one though... not like seven. :p

(jk yaya! ❤️)
Just between you and me, I found the space grey version. Volume deal at $30 for three! And the original, correct spelling an added bonus.

 
I pre-ordered a 16 inch M1 MAX MacBook Pro yesterday with this configuration
6-inch MacBook Pro - Space Gray

Hardware:​

  • Apple M1 Max chip with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine
  • 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display
  • 140W USB-C Power Adapter
  • Backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID - US English
  • Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI port, SDXC card slot, MagSafe 3 port
  • 1TB SSD storage
  • 64GB unified memory
  • Accessory Kit
and its expose to arrive Nov. 18 to 26

Who else has this configuration and this date?
I have the exact configuration with the 11/18 - 11/26 date lol. It's too long, but I initally spec'ed it with 32GB for a 10/26 delivery, but if I'm going all out, I might as well go 64GB and wait 3 weeks...
 
I'm a bit late to the party here, because work was CRAZY this morning, but I'm also Preparing to Ship, and my card got hit this morning. I have a 14" base model coming Oct 26th. I'm excited to see the origin scan on UPS!
Uhhh, friend you need to catch up with all the post in here. Catch up where you have left off. This is no work zone week 😂
 
Enjoy your MacBooks on Tuesday! I was supposed to get mine too on Oct. 26. I canceled. My model was an 16” M1 Pro with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD.

But I have been debating with myself if 16GB RAM would be enough with Xcode, Android Studio and Parallels open at the same time. The answer is no. And I want to avoid buying a new MacBook in the next 3 years.

So I went with an 16” M1 Max, 10 Cores, 32 GPU cores, 32GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. I got a 5% ING (that’s a bank) discount at Amac (APR in Netherlands). I can deduct 21% VAT in January because I am self-employed.

I have no clue when I will get it, but I assume somewhere between 4-6 weeks. Yes, it’s a long wait. But it is better for my sanity and I will be very happy once this amazing machine will be in my hands. And my brothers gets his 16” MacBook on Tuesday, so I can get to play with his MBP sometimes while I wait.

I have a 2019 16” MBP i9 with 16GB RAM and 1TB though, so it will be less painful to wait.

I like it but It’s not made by Apple :(
 
If your delivery window is Nov 17 to Nov 24, when does the item move to "preparing to ship?" (I mean, generally.)

That is the point at which you cannot cancel, right?

That was the Apple specialist's suggestion since she couldn't update the payment method (it changed to PFS this morning). Mine is BTO which makes it more complicated and I have to get it online for the installment plan. She said you have until Nov 9 to return it :rolleyes:
