The "I just ordered / bought / got my new/refurb MBP" thread [Merged]

[PeterJP]

I would love this.
A bigger battery, dGPU, 6 core in a 14 inch. They can make it thicker and that would more than justify its 'Pro' moniker.

Yes. But to get it anywhere near working, you will need it to be 2cm thick. Not very much like the mac design language these days. XMG makes 15" laptops like that and whily they're impressive machines, they look like the 1990s have just arrived.

When I first got my mid-2014 15" MBP in late 2014, I believe I was coming from a 15" Mid-2010 which still had the CD/DVD drives in them iirc. As a result, I was really impressed with how much lighter the non-CD/DVD drive having MBP was. Then over the years I got quite used to the mid-2014 15" size and weight so that when I started using my wife's old 15" 2015 MBP as my "go" computer last year when she replaced it, I did notice both the big plus (it felt a lot more portable due to lower size and weight) and the big minus (much smaller real estate). I'm really curious to see how the dynamics of all my feelings change once the new 16" arrives in a few days.

You'll love it Compared to a late 2013 retina 13", it's slightly thinner and a bit bigger and heavier. I love the form factor. Working from home & looking after the kids, I "ork at my desk in the afternoons and in my couch in the evenings. It feels better in both cases and the extra weight/size has, so far, no downside for me.

Curious about lugging it around on a commute, though. I might leave my iPad charger at home for slow-charging at night with the MBP charger in the office. That's the advantage now that I finally have only devices with USB-C charging (phone = Samsung S10+)

If you like complete meltdown because the case can't cope with the heat and 30 second battery life because hardly any battery would fit next to those 16 guts, yes, very nice indeed.

oh yes, im glad you get what i mean...

Just ordered the $1,799 model but bumped the storage up to 2tb. Expected between June 3-10. I've been running with a mid-2012 i7 Retina MacBook Pro for eight years now. I loathed the butterfly keyboard, and I was hoping Apple would sour on it eventually. Man, that took a while.

 

[eimis993]

Alright, finally I bite the bullet an ordered base 13inch with 16gb ram. Should be massive upgrade from 2015 macbook 12.

Upgrading from my late-2013 15" Retina to a new 13" MBP i7/16/512, and just ordered from Apple. Very excited! Although my shipping time currently is June 4-11th for USA.

I just upgraded my base model 13" late 2013 MBP to a 13" MBP i4/16/512. I am so excited, this MBP has been a good machine, but its gotten pretty sluggish when using the Affinity suite or even just having a lot of tabs open in a browser. I've been using it with a mechanical keyboard and an acer monitor since I wasn't able to replace the screen after a bike accident last september. I'm particularly excited to have the mobility of a laptop again.

As a rough estimate how long do you think it will be before these new 13 inch Pro started appearing in the refurb store?

 

[drinkingtea]

Too good to be true?

 

[Howard Ellacott]

Finally preparing to ship in the UK!

The 16" refurbs took about 4 months. Same for the 2019 MBA and base 13" Pro.

Yeah this is strange

 

[drinkingtea]

Yeah this is strange

Yes, and all nine were sold within a minute or two of the listing going up. Very, very strange. I’m glad I wasn’t tempted.

 

[PeterJP]

Too good to be true?

When something looks too good to be true, it usually is. It's usually a scam. I've been tempted by such offerings in the past but when I did some research, I always found there was something wrong (grey import, second hand, damage, irreputable dealer, ...)

Ordered my "custom config" 16" MBP this morning. Delivery dates currently between 21-28th May which isn't too bad considering.

Went for the lower spec i9 but added only 8GB graphics and left the rest standard. The 1TB of base storage in the i9 models will do me just fine.

Went through the works Apple discount so did manage to save a wee bit also which is nice.

Last MBP I owned was a early 2009 base model which I impulse bought in duty free when going to Italy on holiday.

I'm a hour and a half drive from 1 of the 4 Apple Stores that open today. So I check this AM and they have a 2020 MBP, i5 16GB 1TB $1899 in stock for pick up. Hit buy and drove to Huntsville, picked it up a few hours ago.

Did they have any of the ultimate models in stock by you? I mean the i7/32/2TB?

 

[Qedty]

Not sure! you can check on the Apple website and for pickup choose "huntsville" or "birmingham" AL. I got the highest end "stock" model they had but it isn't considered a build to order

I'm glad I didn't see that or I might've been tempted to find out.

I just ordered an open box 2019 16", 2.3/16/1TB for $200 less than the Apple refurb price on ebay. I was a little worried about what the condition would be, but it looks like its brand new. The initial AppleCare is good until 2/2021, so I lost 3 months but I'm OK with that.

From Best Buy, I’m assuming?

Just put in my order for the 2020 MacBook Pro 13" / 10th Gen 2.0GHz / 512GB / 16GB Ram.

Estimated delivery is 26 May - 2 June. Can't wait to get it. Will be a huge upgrade from my current late 2016 MacBook Pro nTB complete with dodgy keyboard and battery!

 

[Hudzilla95]

Bit the bullet earlier today and ordered a base 2020 MBP but upgraded to 16GB RAM. Definitely going to be an upgrade from my 2012 Air haha! Hopefully it will last me another 8 years like the Air has.

 

[Hls811]

Nope.. a seller on ebay.

 

[enthawizeguy]

Just order the 16 inch 2.3 , 64gb ram, 8gb video card, and 2tb. Now I just need to find a suitable monitor. Hope it delivers early.

Just ordered my new 13" MacBook Pro, the top model, 10th Gen 2.0GHz/16GB/1TB SSD, should be the perfect portable companion to my 27" iMac for editing photos / working on the go. Paid £1798.80 with my education discount too! Silver too!

Recently part-exchanged my iPad Pro for a 12" MacBook and having macOS available to me away from my desk has been a massive help! MacBook will now be sold on once the Pro arrives at the end of May.

 

[anthorumor]

Received my MBP 13” 10th gen 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD in silver. Yes, silver. And it looks good.
