8 core vs 10 core that is the question of the day...

 

[SloRide™]

The decision comes down to if you want 32 gpu cores and 32gb ram, which is a lot unless you are doing work that is pushing that kind of hardware already.

Also, technology keeps improving and graphics keeps placing more demands on your computer. What seems like overkill now becomes more necessary down the road. My overkill MBP I bought in 2013 became a beachball fest in 2018 for how I used it, and I ended up giving it to my grandson. If you plan on keeping the laptop for a few years, I'm of the opinion of spending a little more if you can afford it. If you love Apple laptops yet plan on using it mainly as an entertainment device, I'd recommend the M1 Pro base model.

I'm out as well. Unless @TheYayAreaLiving is kind enough to donate one of hers lol

Since she's offering, I'll take one as well @TheYayAreaLiving 🙋‍♂️ lol

 

[Crisperion Fett]

Whewwww... lost out on next week delivery, but that is fine. I will manage after a year of doing so! Student discount in full effect!!!!

MBP 16 Max, 64gb, 2 TB. Next decade is covered come early December...

Grateful for all you and your help here and being able to even do this during these times!

[LFC2020]

Thanks! I’ll keep the cheaper one. Appreciate you. Now to cancel the other 😆

Very smart move, you would've ended up spending a lot more money on a GPU that you'll never use.

14 inch base model but I upgraded the storage to 1TB SSD. I also added the 96 W charger as the cherry on top.

the 96 W charger comes as default with my order.

For my work purposes, even the base 14" is overkill but they were not going to have a lower tier option that replaces the 13" this soon.

Unfortunately, they are delayed till December mate.

The 16" 64gb models hit first week of Dec right after the store opened lol.

8 core vs 10 core that is the question of the day...

Same, decided to go with the 10 core for future proofing and the 1TB

 

[spacetimer8032]

I panicked on the size, so I just ordered both of the base models and now my wallet is hurting 🥲

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Anyone got a promised Friday delivery, please report it here.

 

[macminv]

Argh I was too slow, also 64GB has longer wait time (Canada)?

MBP 16 Max, 64GB, 1TB, delivery Dec 1 - 9. Might even come on my birthday, happy birthday me?

 

[ThisBougieLife]

32-core GPU is probably overkill for someone who doesn't do video editing...thinking 24-core might be the way to go if it means less heat.

Which one are you going to keep?

 

[xtaker]

Got the M1 Max 16”! Can’t wait for this beast to arrive on 10/26!!!

 

[Goldfire]

Shoot, I hesitated and it already slipped to mid-December. Ordered a 16" 32-core with 64GB of RAM.

 

[xfusejc]

Took a bit to get through with the website crashing, but got there in the end.

That's fine, we're not in a rush 😊😂 @LasersGoPewPew

 

[KoToNaS]

I forgot to apply Educational discount. Can it be applied after I receive Mac?

 

[dhershberger]

Date changed from Oct 26 on the review screen to Oct 27-Nov 3 once purchased.

 

[CWallace]

Ordered two by mistake, so will cancel the spare ASAP.

14" Space Grey | 8GPU and 14 GPU | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD

26 October delivery

 

[SirWill]

The base models are M1 Pro, only the third option for the 16" has the M1 Max.

You can take the base to a M1 Max in the options. 2 Max options at that.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I think during the presentation, they said delivery next week...

They didn’t promise a Friday date. Did they?

 

[spacetimer8032]

Which one are you going to keep?

Not sure yet, because I think I would be happy with both sizes. I have to travel for school, so for that the 14" would be amazing. On the other hand, I will probably use it for many hours each day, so the bigger screen and extra battery life of the 16" would be nice. Also, movies will be much nicer on the 16", so I think I will keep the 16", but I really have to see them in person.
