UK 14"/16" M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro (2021) Pre-release, Orders and Dispatch Thread

[Patchwork]

KRCS are doing a BF 10% discount on the new MacBooks with their additional warranty cover on top ie no need to spend extra on Apple Care.

Not a bad deal at all! No Max 14" models, however.

You can order the Max as a built to order option with 10% off with the same discount if you want to just upgrade memory or storage. Obviously you’ll just join the Apple queue, so wouldn’t arrive until mid/late December at a good guess.

Also worth pointing out that their warranty isn’t quite as comphensive as AppleCare but plus being only two year breakdown rather than three years with accident damage. Then again it doesn’t cost £249/£349 for 14/16 inch and can always buy direct from Apple if that matters.

Must admit at those prices I’m tempted but can’t decide whether to upgrade RAM to help with coding and VMs, along with lightroom for personal use.

Only difference is that you get charged at the point of purchase and not upon dispatch.

Picked it up earlier….

Don’t go to Norwich at midday. Whole town is gridlocked with no parking anywhere 😂😂

Accidentally bought a keyboard and mouse too

Fingers crossed it’s will ship from Syncreon. If so you could get to moved to PFS to shipped in a matter of hours. Still a chance it could come Monday or Tuesday to meet the 16th so you might get updates tomorrow if so!

I hope so but honestly feels unlikely! Still no card charge or anything. Waiting an extra week is not the end of the world in the grand scheme of things but it’s annoying. In better news I do have my 13 Pro Max I ordered from Amazon and my watch series 7 is coming on Monday!

Very very tempted to order a 14" 10/14 M1 Pro 32Gb 1Tb from KRCS with their Black Friday discount. Seems like the best price I can find. Anyone find better?

Would it be best going for AppleCare or just get the KRCS warranty?

Is the KRCS BF discount live now or is it going live on BF itself?

Super easy to check that on their website mate

 

[AndyK]

Anyone know how long UPS take direct from China? They’ve picked it up but now no movement in 24 hours.

What area are you looking for? and what spec?

I think they can restock randomly but I saw somewhere else on here that people seemed to check before opening and at around 1PM

Also if anyone is interested in colour differences

Just loving the silver this time around!

 

[Wezzywebb]

Does Netflix HDR/DV content play correctly on these ?

 

[NickYanakiev]

Yeah, same. I have a 14" Pro in silver, while I am waiting for a Max. Came by Westfield Stratford yesterday and reconfirmed that I like the silver quite a bit more than the SG.
