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

Some MAX processors have shipped

My MBP16/SpaceBlack/M3Max16C/128GB/4TB
Originally: Arriving Nov 15 - Nov 17.
Yesterday received notification that will be delivered on NOV 09.

Right now the tracking shows it arrived in Los Angeles (final destination)

While UPS could easily deliver it tomorrow I think Apple is holding back delivery for a couple of days. They must have their reasons

My bet is delivery tomorrow.

Got the notification for Nov 9th for my 14" 12/18/36

And here I am thinking...should I go with a 14" Max 12/18/36...for an additional $400 its kind of tough as my M1 Pro has done me well for what I use and the games I play....

Good thing is I have a few days to decide...hopefully more reviews will come out to help me decide..

what games do you play on your M1 Pro?

what games do you play on your M1 Pro?

Mostly NMS, and I have BG3 and played before it released so I have to start over. Minecraft sometime, and the Deus Ex. I’m fully aware it’s probably over kill going up to a Max but I kind of want to future proof for 3 years.

 

[Aboo]

Me too, where are you based? I'm in Australia and I think BTOs are being delayed here for some reason.

Im in the US. Well I guess hurry up and wait haha!

I'm excited for the Resident Evil 4. I was going back and forth with the non-binned Pro or binned Max

My laptop is in abq already. Apple still says delivery on the 9th, previously Nov 15-17, and UPS has yet to provide a delivery date. However, it's taking the same route my 15 pro took, and once it hit abq it was delivered the next day!

eyyyooo i was correct. UPS just updated and my delivery date is tomorrow! from nov 15-17, to the 9th, and now getting it on launch day! LFG!

Ordered 16" M3 Max Space Black, 36gb ram, 2TB SSD on Monday 10/30 about 5 hours after orders were opened. Got a Nov 15th - 17th delivery time frame. CC just got charged on 11/5 and flipped to preparing to ship on the tracker.

11/6 now says shipped. UPS tracking app showing Fri 11/10 delivery, currently its in China. Interestingly Apple showing Mon 11/13 delivery. So either way looks like it will be here earlier than the original 11/15 - 11/17 estimate!!!

Yeah, that's really exciting. I thought the keynote said "later in November" so it's great they're coming out as soon as the Pro for some

Oh that's good, mine is on the 22-29th window so it makes me feel like my refreshing isn't a complete waste of time.

 

[DarkRaider]

Doesn’t look like mine is coming today after all. Zero movement since the origin scan. Bummer.

Local store has stock for the M3 Max binned model. Brothers finally reunite.

 

[kjwamlex]

Yikes, it seems like my local Apple Store won't have any binned M3 Max today. What a bummer.

Just 14 here for me. No 16 Max

 

[kjwamlex]

Just 14 here for me. No 16 Max

We don't even have 14 here

 

[Norre8]

I ordered 2; one from Apple and one from Best Buy. Both delayed.

 

[kozz]

Well I went ahead and ordered a 14 Max 14/30/36 for pickup, about an hour away plan on picking up Friday...my 14 Pro 12/18/36 gets here Thursday...so I have a few days to decide what to do...if I go pick up the Max, I can return the 14 Pro in store and even do my trade in in store vice mailing it in...so hopefully I can find off 14/30 Max reviews...

My 16inch/SpaceBlack/Max-18c40c/4TB/128GB is loaded on the truck and out for delivery via UPS.

Ah the old BlackBook... what a legend. I was second guessing myself on Space Black vs Silver, and based on some videos and pictures I've seen, I'm glad I've got Space Black... just two more weeks to wait.

From videos space black actually just looks dark grey to me. Either way I like it

Initially I was gonna say you got robbed, then I took a second look.

While under some lighting the space black is indeed just, grey. But its shininess makes up for the cool factor. It is not as understated as the matte black MacBook brother that’s for sure. I think this is a good call, if the black is as dark as the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 15 black, we may see chipping real soon.

Figured I'd chime in to say that my 16" M3 Max SB (base unbinned, the $3999 model) has not yet shipped. Still says arrives Nov 14-16, not moved to Preparing to Ship. Ordered early.
