I wonder if the ASD I'm returning will turn up as refurbished ....
Seems like the 10GB are taking longer for some reason.
I already got my mouse/KB and Studio display and they charged my card for the M2 Pro, but no movement on status thus far.
Mine is expected Feb 7 - 14.....hope it's sooner.
Yep - makes me wonder if they built any of the boards before launch. Definitely seems the desire for 10Gb is a niche.
Cool, just progressed one step closer in the last hour....... 🤗
Heh...don't quite get it - you ordered 4 days after I did?
I guess US orders are getting priority (or it's because you ordered a display with yours?) Hopefully mine makes some progress soon.
mine moved too. ordered on Jan 22nd. same config sans display.
likely means we'll get it early. maybe people are canceling over fan noise.
Edit: as I thought, my Feb 7th-14th order shipped early and will now arrive Feb 3rd.

Hi magphotos, thanks for sharing your experience! I am contemplating between 512gb and 1tb on the M2 Pro. Being a professional photographer, I'm curious whether having the 1tb (with double the speed compared to the 512gb) will make a significant difference on time savings when processing photos, importing, exporting, creating previews?
I'm guessing probably I won't notice the difference, but curious to hear your views. I plan to have an external 1TB SSD so a lack of space shouldn't be an issue. Thanks! 😄

Well joining the crowd! M2 pro/16/2tb. Est delivery Feb 16-23.
if you are like me and this is your first mac with more USB-C ports than USB-A ports and you have multiple regular external drives, instead of getting an adapter, get this cable instead
make sure the cable on your external drive looks like the one in the picture. i have 3 western digital external drives with Micro-B ports
The adapters are too fat & wide

Picked it up yesterday, not installed yet, box unopened, maybe later today or for a couple days before I can set it up.

I’m guessing they will most likely repair it and put it up again for refurbished
After a few days, I probably found a better way to use this Mac mini, turn the rear IO ports to the right, and finally, I don't have to lift the box up, stick my head behind the monitor, and plug in various external devices.
M2 Pro 16G/512G/10G waiting to arrive... to replace my Windows desktop, first time since 1996. Hmm!
Well, if you don't want to look at the cables, you could just find a USB hub (that's what I did for my 2012 mini).
Yeehaaa, On it's way from Shenzhen China......
Hopefully gets here before Feb 6......maybe coming over by Kyak. 😆

Cool. my Feb 7-14 order shipped early too and will be here on the 3rd. (I'm in CA)
check the actual tracking on UPS, it'll give a better estimate.
Wow, that's cool. Mine just got charged to my CC and was scheduled for Feb 10-17. Hope it also comes early since my ASD is just sitting here waiting, waiting, waiting.
M2 Mini 32GB, 2TB.
Mine was "shipped" about 3 days ago (minus line 4 hours) and still the only update is label printed in Hong Kong. UPS still says Thursday (Apple says Friday), so I guess we'll see. A 1 week delay would sure beat the 2-3 week delay I was first given.
Mine “shipped” on January 28th. Still stuck in Shenzhen, maybe due to Chinese New Year celebrations?
Has anyone else gone through: places order for M2 Mac Mini Pro, cancels order because they read something in the forms about the specs you selected, places another order, cancels order again because of something else said about the value/cost of upgrades selected, back to overthinking it…?
refurbished today (1-30-23) M1 Mac mini 16GB/256GB. Shipped today scheduled to arrive 2-1-23. 😀
