kept it cheap(ish) and cheerful with them both from Ikea


Cool design!! Not much of an armrest?

Had a look at these a while back, which look amazing, but are really expensive…

Has anyone placed an order for base model MBP 14" around the 4th November? Just I'd like to ask what's your estimated delivery date.

I ordered one through a business marketplace but don't have access to any order statuso_O

No, the even more annoying thing is that those arm rests do t even come with the chair. They’re separate items and not been in stock in ages! Now having to stalk the ikea site as well as my apple order

Good to see that so many folks have been seeing movement and getting their orders.

I am waiting on a 14" Max with 32 GPU Cores and 64gigs+2TB.
Changed my order a good few times so it is coming 11-24 of Jan.

Currently using the standard 14" (1TB+16 gigs of RAM) but decided to stick with the current order.
£1500 on top for 4X the RAM, 2X the storage and 2X the GPU cores.

Luckily the store was more than happy to let me use this temporary machine up until 08.01.22 so there won't be much of a gap.

I also found that running my current MacBook Pro 14" on low power mode (have it set up to switch low power on when on battery) significantly extends battery life without an obvious performance impact. Which makes the prospect of having a Max less concerning for battery performance.

Sorry, posted in the wrong thread. Can't delete.

I selected the 64Gb option for my 16" 10/32 Max, there is a huge difference between a max with 32Gb and the 64Gb model, if you order now the former has a delivery window Dec. 7-14, the latter 6-8 weeks

Just returned my 14" 10/16/16/1TB in silver. To powerful for what I need and the battery was below factory spec out of the box according to Coconut Battery. Will re-order a base 14" with 1TB once the money goes back in the account. Don't mind waiting the month when I'm saving £300 and I can get by with my trusty 2014 for the extra time.

Also if anyone is still waiting for their 14" and is upgrading from a 13" then old sleeves should fit as long as there not tight fit. I have a Herschel sleeve from my 2014 13" and the 14" fits perfectly.

Do apple offer discounts or vouchers during Black Friday? I've gone round in a circle and may pick up a base 14 but wasn't sure if I should wait a few days to see if Apple do anything

Those battery small percentages shouldn’t really make a difference in real usage, should they?
But if you think the lower spec is enough, so be it!

PS my 16 pro max is way over specked, but I’ve settled to that decision….

I ordered mine October 23 and delivery date is for 22 to 29 November, however it is still stuck on processing order. Should I be worried that the status hasn’t moved at all?

I ordered 16” Max, 32gb, 1tb.

Nope nothing to worry about if not anything but frustrating. You’ll get in during that window. There have been a good few which have shipped direct from the uk so no china shipping at all.

Usually it’s apple vouchers with purchases of varying degrees. Pretty sure the newest hardware won’t be included.

Yes always makes your wait more excruciating when others are moving along!

I’ll update the tracker tomorrow sometime when I get a mo
