Yep, order placed! I was leaning hard on 2tb and 64 but decided against it, I don't need that much space for that large additional amount of money.
14", 32GB, 512GB. I could just about compromise with the SSD as I know I'm being lazy with my storage. I think the base 14" is good for musicians who aren't reliant on a lot of virtual instruments but I guess from the specs it should chew through those for a while. The higher specs, especially the 16 inch, are crazy. What are you using that for, like on-site 4k rushes?!
I will say they look kind of chonky - something about how they blended the rounded corners, flat surfaces, and feet
Guys just don't suggest me going for Air. I open too many windows in the browser but I'm not a "pro" per se.
What's worth upgrading? I'm a lawyer who is active on fb and likes shopping online. I don't want to overpay but when I think about it sometimes 300$ so it's much much per se.

Holy **** these are expensive in Europe!!! A base 16” with a simple upgrade from 512GB SSD to 1TB is $3,600! ?
Definitely think they aren’t lookers at first glance like their predecessors… might look better irl, or at least you’ll get used to them. It’s the black keyboard depression that’s really messing with me
Yeah tbh I really hate the new design.. just looks weird when it’s closed and I don’t like the black keyboard background neither. Definitely a step backwards from a design point of view imo
I’m using the veterans discount

Ordered. Went with midline options for RAM and GPU. Hope the GPU is as good as what I had in my 2019 16".
I'm looking forward to the new design. Just wish there had been more color options. Maybe white keyboard? Other metallic colors for chassis? And hope some day it'll have FaceID.
Estimated delivery date Dec. 2-9

EUR 2979 in The Netherlands (16GB RAM). Where are you at?
EUR 2749 in NL. Weird how that differs.
I am still trying to understand,
what is the difference on the configuration of the two new mbps,
with M1 pro chip.
I cannot find why to choose the 1st or 2nd.
Please tell me.

See all the technical specifications for the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips.

For the uses you described in your other post, you really don't need a Pro chip. You said not to recommend an Air, but honestly, that would be the smart choice for what you said you do with it. Opening browser tabs and doing online shopping is not what these machines enhance for you.
You certainly won't need 32GB of memory. I'm a software engineer and I plan to do some light gaming on mine as well, and I only went for 16GB, so unless you're doing some kind of hardcore image or video editing, go for the base model.
Woah, I guess people must be ordering them like crazy! So the demand was not an illusion...just when I decided to get one...slipped the deliver time...
delivery: nov 10th-17th... and I actually need it nov 8th....
Ordered a 16” Max. Went over my budget for sure. Was not prepared for the price by any means.
I just ordered a 14" base model to upgrade from my 2018 Air. Also the military pricing is a little better ($50) than the student pricing for those trying to squeeze every dime out of the purchase.
I'm hoping these new MBP hold up as well as the older MBP circa 2002-2013
I had issues with my all my keyboards, touchbar and trackpads with every mbp I've purchased since.
I don't mind the notch, it's unusable space for the most part with the menu bar already there. I just hope these new mbp's are more reliable.
Looking forward to the Oct 26th delivery!

Went for a 14" base model, which should be more then plenty for me.
Currently using a M1 Air 16GB which is great already for my type of work, more of a luxury update.
I really needed that two external display support though!
