Awesome!
Mine just arrived as well and is in the process of transferring data from my 2018 MBP.
Wife was in favor of waiting until Christmas to open it, but I don’t have that much patience! I’d have to be a Monk or something to achieve that level of patience.

Mine arrived today as well. 16" M4 Max (16-core) / 128GB / 4TB / nano screen
What a beautiful sight...

Starting moving again on the 12th and is currently out for delivery.
I have pretty much gotten used to it. The MPB is great. I also have a 32inch ultrawide monitor I can use if I need more screen space.
Excited for this to arrive 25-27th. Hoping it gets here early as I have the weekend of 23/24 off and I could start setting it up 😃 a
A little worried a 16” will be too big after living with an Air but here we go…

My MacBook Pro was delivered yesterday, but I’m still away on vacation.😢. Can’t wait to get home and set it up.
Mine is chugging along via DHL, which seems demonstrably worse than UPS. My timeline so far:
11/9 - ordered
11/13 - shipped
11/15 - cleared US Customs, sitting in Cincinnati
No delivery date estimate from DHL but fingers crossed for Monday. I’m in the Southeast U.S.

Good luck! Your reply made me realize I typed October for all the dates. Obviously meant November; corrected now.
My order-to-ship time was super quick.
I'm excited to see the performance/speed/battery boost over my 2018 Intel. I have that same five-year timeline for this next one. I feel like waiting 6-7 years is a bit long for my use cases (professional photography business).
Just got my shipment notification from DHL (11/18 on an 11/12 order). Oddly enough, it says delivery estimated at November 26, which is on the far end of my original estimate. Still hoping that gets updated to something a few days sooner since next Tuesday is a bit of an S-show for my household schedule. I have no idea when DHL shows up to my studio -- FedEx and UPS are always first thing in the AM.
I'll stay tuned and keep this thread updated in case people are trying to gauge their own shipment times.
ha...I didn't even notice! Clearly not enough coffee for me that day.
I hope my customs clearance goes a bit faster now -- I just updated that DHL estimates an 8-day arrival, though I feel like that could speed up over the next 1-2 days and get to the east coast rather quickly. I hope, anyway...
I wish you all luck. My experience with DHL has been abysmal. It made it to the US and cleared customs by early Friday. Then it sat in Cincinnati until Sunday PM. It made it to to my area and “out for delivery” yesterday. Then at 3 PM it said they couldn’t deliver because I wasn’t home. They just didn’t try. 1) I did a signature release ahead of time so they could just put it on my porch and 2) my wife was home all day. I guess they’ll “try” again today. 0/10 delivery experience thus far.
Finally home and set my new MacBook Pro up. This thing so so fast. I've always used 15" and was worried that going with the 14" model the screen might feel too small. It doesn't at all and I appreciate the lighter weight. I'm also loving the new space black. Yes it does show fingerprints more easily, but that doesn't bother me too much.
I ordered a MBP M4 Max 16” on Nov. 17 with pick up/delivery to an Apple Store for Dec. 5th. I checked the status today on the Apple site and it’s now showing Friday, Nov. 29th as delivery date. If I understand the policy for in-store pick-up, the store will hold it for up to a week from the date it’s available? I’m hoping that’s accurate, because I’ll be out of town until Monday, Dec. 2nd (Or 3rd).
My tracking has been slow as molasses. Ordered on 11/12, reached Cincinnati early 11/20, and seems to just now be clearing customs in Cincinnati after sitting there for a day. I was really hoping this thing would arrive in Boston on Friday.
Estimates show Tuesday, 11/26…yikes!

I have to say, DHL came through big time in the end and I got my MBP. It left Cincinnati last night, landed in Baltimore, I watched it fly to Boston on FlightRadar24, and they had it in my hands by 2:00 p.m.!
Loving this thing so far, though lots of configuring to do since I'm deciding to set it up as a new machine. Just has that clean feeling when I do that.

Update. Went from processing to shipped yesterday. 🥰 Should be here early next week.
Hmmm, I had ordered my computer on Nov. 17th, and had it shipped to an Apple Store. The original delivery date was Dec. 5th, which was perfect for me. Then the next email I got said that it had a delivery date of Nov. 29th. That was more or less OK because while I would be gone, I could pick it up Monday or Tuesday. Was I ever surprised when I got a text this afternoon saying it was ready for pickup and that I had a week to get it. So the 29th ended up being the LAST day I could get it, not the first!
So now I’m migrating data from my old computer and am delighted that I had decided not to leave tomorrow - I can take my old computer to the store and trade it in tomorrow, then leave the day after. I’m very happy that it all worked out perfectly.
