Wow. First rumor I read about that (Though its many months old). These have been in production for months so I did not expect this.
We’ll see, as you said it is many months old. My gut suspicion is that if they open up orders immediately (today) then they have plenty, but if they set a pre-order date in the future they are expecting more limited availability and want to give everyone a fair shot at it.

You are correct. A delayed preorder date would mean limited supplies.

Thank God Apple makes their own chips and not dependent completely on the shorted market.

I am so excited I have trouble to actually follow them... already confused about that Apple Music thing...

I hope they slow down a bit for the MacBooks...

But to be honest I am already in a state of mind to buy everything Tim is offering me...

I don't think I need an M1 Max. I think? Are we basically looking at i5/i7 comparison here? Or more like i7/i9?

In your face, dongle-crazy nerds who told me that Magsafe, HDMI and SD will never come back. They are! ?

But seriously, it has almost everything people wanted!
  • Great chips and RAM: Pro (32GB) and Max (64GB)
  • Up to 10.4 TFLOPS (that's almost RTX3060!)
  • Bigger displays and higher resolution
  • Mini-LED, HDR, 1000 Nits
  • ProMotion, 120Hz
  • You can use Magsafe and USB-C
  • Return of HDMI and SD
  • Absurdly fast SSDs
  • Physical function keys
  • Even better cooling
  • Even better sound system
  • 1080p webcam, finally

The only meh thing is that silly notch, but maybe it won't be that bad!

Eh, hadn't they put the notch people would have complained about the bezels, so whatever. I honestly find it a little silly to concentrate on that when we are getting the most significant hardware upgrade in over a decade.
