  • Is the new 16-inch MacBook Pro a pro-only machine?

    Just got my 16" M1Max w/ 64GB of memory. WOW!!!!!

    And this is coming from a 2019 16" i7 w/ 16GB of memory. I mean, there isn't any thing out there that can compare to how fast this thing is. And I made sure to do a TimeMachine restore so I can get a like for like comparison and it's so blazingly fast now that I won't even bother with a clean install. Apple is going to absolutely own the market with these chips.

    My order for my MacBook Pro M1 Max with 1 TB SSD and 64 GBs of memory, still says "Arrives Dec 24 - Dec 31" so no ship date shrinking here! I'm hopeful it will ship sooner than that though.
    When did you order? Mine was put in 10/19. Surprised it’s going to take 2 months.

    Well, just got an email that my MBP16 was pushed back from a 11/17-24 delivery to 12/14-21, so not sure what this report is talking about shipping times shrinking!
    Me too!

    My delivery of the new 16" MacBook Pro has been pushed back from 11/12-17 to 11/26-30. :-(

    Can't wait!
    I was a little late placing my preorder, but what I ended up doing was finding one in stock at a physical Apple store and placed a pick order for the evening of release day and then nixed the online order. Maybe someone near you has one? Its crazy though, I just looked and not a single 14" or 16" MBP in either color in stock at any Apple Store near me (NH/ME) for a 200 mi radius... granted that's only like 8 stores lol.
    I've been checking daily for various configs. They don't see to be getting stocked at all (or limiting the few they get to in-person purchases only).

    That's rough, but I assure you she is worth the wait! I was lucky to get mine on release date and I absolutely love this thing! I typically upgrade every 18-24 months and I have to say this is by far and away my favorite Mac notebook since my 15" Aluminum PowerBook G4! They've pretty much "fixed" most of the stupid things they've been doing since 2016. The 2019 16" MBP was a good improvement but this thing takes the cake. Also, it's like traveling with a portable movie theater haha. Hope yours comes ASAP!
    Yeah, I'm hyped to replace my current i7 MBP. Though honestly, I prefer the current design (saw the new design in person already and while it feels solid, felt heavy/bulkier at the same time). Also have no use for the Magsafe/HDMI/SDcard as I'm always either working on my laptop without anything plugged in, or at my desk where I plug in a couple TB ports for my 2 LG 5K displays.The added ports/charging doesn't change anything for me. It's all about that Apple Silicon!
