Got mine delivered just before 10, but as others have mentioned, UPS tracking when in the UK very underwhelming… didn’t even get a “Out for delivery”, arrived before the actual delivery window (mother-in-law still hadn’t arrived), and they just left it on my porch, no signature…
At least it’s home, and can’t wait to have a good play with it later on!! Which should have happened Friday…
Exactly the same for me including the guy being halfway down my path by the time I opened the door. Its OK though, we live right next to a busy train station and its a £3000 laptop. I'm sure that it would have been safe if I wasn't in...
mine has arrived! before 12:45 too! not off to play just yet thou, have a million and one conference calls today

yeah but was your package sitting at your nearest depot?Got mine delivered just before 10, but as others have mentioned, UPS tracking when in the UK very underwhelming… didn’t even get a “Out for delivery”, arrived before the actual delivery window (mother-in-law still hadn’t arrived), and they just left it on my porch, no signature…

my package is 2hrs away from me and its supposed to be at my nearest depot but it isnt DUE FOR DELIVERY TODAY....
12pm and nothing yet
I watched this last night. long and short of it, Performance impact between 16 and 32gb machines is minimal (a matter of seconds), however swap is used on a 16Gb during heavy memory use such as lightroom. I can live with that, especially when the performance impact is tiny!
WTF...
No security access required other than the driver ringing the bell to my flat...

Rather jealous of those coming through today I've got a 9-16 Nov date stuck in processing for a 16"/MAX/32GB/1TB
wow that 16GB took it all on the chin without flinching! these fast SSDs make read/writes for swap barely noticeable!
definitely 1 - 0 to keeping the pro!
Wow, that's incredible. I wouldn't even know how to chuck that much work at the 32gb to test it - that's absolutely sealed it for me. 32gb is a waste of £400 for me without a doubt!
As ups is beyond useless, I texted apple, very nice customer service on their part. They tracked my parcel calling ups, and ups told them it’s at the nearest depot and will be delivered today (while tracking still showing stuck in Castle Donington, for 80h…), they also gave precisions, informing that it’s because of a flight delay between the custom depot and the closest depot. A flight delay between Donington and Croydon?!? 😂
No sure any of it is true now 😄

same here! much better to invest that into an updated SSD if having the 512GB
LMAO mine is stuck in a depot 3 hrs away from me and nothing has updated. i hope this is the same for me
clearly someone not in the uk! it will be on a truck!
the tracking is in bits with UPS.. never seen it this back in the UK... usually pretty up to date after each event.
I'd expect you getting yours at some point today!
Spotting the 12 year old in this thread is easy. And if you don’t know who it is, it’s you.
Exactly what I've done. Ordered the 10/16/16/1tb at Costco - it's online-only, so will mean waiting a bit longer, but totally worth it.
Of course, now I'm thinking about what I can spend the saving on because it's basically free money, isn't it?
OK the Max BTO is going back unopened!
too many compelling reasons in keeping the Pro! all these reviews and tests I've watch just reinforce it.
* 16core GPU v 32core - I'll never stress the GPU to any level where I'd push the 32core version. the 16core version is a beast in its own right and I'm not a professional video editor doing any prores editing etc.. (the testing which helped make up my mind I
)
* 16GB vs 32GB - the 'torture' tests here (
) show hardly any performance drops for the tests.. yes the 16GB uses more SWAP but the faster SSDs seem to negate and performance dips.
* 1TB SSD - defo invest in that over the 512gb... double the ssd, double the TWB/life rating (https://www.chillblast.com/learn/why-tbw-matters-in-ssds/)
* the silver the gorgeous!

can't believe you've not already upgraded your monitor!
Got the Lenovo T27p last year, so I’m set for that.
Of course, having decided I’m not going to keep it, it turns up within minutes!
