My 14" is ordered! WOOT!
Decided to keep it to 10-core CPU/16-core GPU/16GB RAM/1TB SSD -- all it needs to be is a competent upgrade from my mid-2020 13" MBP AKA "the lapburner" and last until the Armv9 M2 Pro/Max machines are available in a year or two.
They gave me US$1010 for my minty 13" MBP 2.3GHz i7/16GM RAM/1TB SSD, which was a bit better than expected actually. Figured it was good to get rid of it now while Intel-based machines are still worth much of anything.

bye bye, buy a surface laptop studio then...oh ups that doesnt support shxiit
Again, under usb4 you can support external monitors 2K 120/144hz
I sure don’t need one and sure can’t afford one, but boy do I want one!
MacOS already supports external display with refresh rates above 60hz.
If it has the same ‘zone dimming’ feature then I’m not interested. It’s terrible with high contrast images, with distracting blooming at zone junctions. It’s honestly one of the worst Apple displays in low light, high contrast images. In bright scenes it’s fabulous, but that’s not really good enough.
And a notch on a laptop? That’s a design/engineering fail. This feels like it was designed by committee.

Unless they have a 1:1 pixel:mini-LED ratio, they will have blooming.
Ships next week delivery the following week

I'm not familiar with the latest Logic Pro, is the interface getting more flat design or more "realistic?" (Hoping for "more realistic" which translates to more intuitive/easy to use for many like myself.)
I went base model 14". Should be enough for awhile. Interested to see how games run on the 14 core GPU
I agree. In dimmed or high contrast images, the blooming is just awful and makes balancing images, etc. difficult.
Pretty exciting display. Too bad 16" is about 10-14" too small for real work. 
I'd really love to do everything on a MacBook Pro but its just too cramped.

ProMotion on Macbook Pro is an excellent addition.
Hard pass for me. I was in the market for a new MBP to replace my 2016 one. But the design itself, kinda looking like a white MB from back in the day, and that notch is a no no... I never asked for thin bezels, much less if they meant that the laptop would have a notch.
I'll push my current MBP 2-3 more years until they remove the notch (because we all know they will). Lets be honest, Steve Jobs would've never allowed them to design a Mac with a notch.
MacNotch Pro, no thanks.

None, that notch isn't for me, not interested in a 1080p webcam, if the notch had Face ID, I might of pulled the trigger.

The iPad Pro screen is brilliant and the blooming is very rarely an issue. It exists, but it has little to no impact on the incredible screen. You'll see some blooming on white credits and controls against a totally black screen when watching in total darkness. That's about it.
Of course, there are use cases that are not my use case where the blooming may be a much bigger problem.
Really excellent; rumors had this right. Apple Watch 7 in my opinion was intended to be a redesign, but Rockley Photonics, who makes the health-sensors, wasn't ready. So that is quite likely for Watch 8. I suspect health sensors for AirPod Pro3; the only reason RKLY got cut in-half (we're buying around 7) was the aforementioned delay. Apple was one of their seed-money financiers if you go back to the origins; and they do business with them and others like Medtronic. Anyway I traded my 2020 MacBookPro which I had to buy after spilling coffee on the prior one just after AppleCare expired (figures). So I bit the bullet; new one will be here Oct. 26, so I guess that's quick. It seems awesome; especially the better camera and so on.
They made the easy, lazy choice. And from a design perspective, and user experience perspective, it is disastrous. Awful, bad design.
This is a very good thing. 12.9” iPad Pro is the best display I’ve ever used in a tech product hands down.
Well… that probably means you’re getting an AMD/Intel laptop with support for that, right? ???
In term of Design, i‘m very disappointed. This Macs look like the Models of 2011. I would have expected something like the MacBook Air… something Modern.
The Silicon Chips are awesome.

You mean the one that you need to be in a complete darkness to notice, after you have been told?
