Who is returning their MBP Pro/Max 14/16?

Except for the bevel, its exactly the same dimensions as my late 2013 MBP. And it looks a lot like my much loved Powerbook Intel #1.
Are you trying to bait people into cancelling their orders so yours arrives sooner?
that's why i ordered a mbp 16" 10/16 with 32 gb and 1 tb - i am a pro user that needs a pro notebook. what did you buy?
it's smaller in all dimensions than my 2011 mbp sooo?
Get a mba if you are just using it as a prop at a coffee shop and I will take the ugly book that can actually handle my 20 gig data sets without rendering me sterile.

Ooh! Put a NSFW tag on statements like that.
Cancel? I am ordering a few and putting one each in
- 2021 Ford Bronco which has design cues from 1966.
- 2021 Mecedes G-Wagon which has design cues from the 1970s.
- 2021 Porsche 911 which has design cues from the 1960s.
I'm just saying in a lighthearted manner, but doors on our cars have been around for longer.
We wanted battery life and sustained performance - they gave us that. Simple.
MacRumors when Apple compromises performance of last generation by making it too thin: Why don't you care about us PRO users??
MacRumors when Apple don't compromise performance of new generation: Why is it so thick, I want thin and sexy!

I don't know why, my eyes went to the user handle when I read this. Oops.
I think they look great and I'm happy that they are as big as they are -No way to get this much performance and cooling if the body was much thinner.
I'm very happy that MBPs are back to seeing specs that can actually be considered appropriate for pros.
So many leading artists and creators have been holding out on upgrading their MBPs because the upgrades were so lacklustre.
The M1 Air and 13" Pro are amazing value and performance if you just want a small footprint on your portable Mac.
I also don't get why you'd spend this much on an 2021 MBP if you just want something slim and good looking -These are created with creatives and professionals in mind, not for casual users who want to travel light and just do emails, writing, watch YouTube, etc.

This 100%
Like, just get an M1 Air or 13" Pro now and sell it when the next M2(?) Air launches in Q1-Q2 of 2022.
The performance on both the M1 Air and 13" Pro is still really good, especially considering the extremely low pricing.
I also think Black Friday 2021 will also see some ludicrous deals on the M1 Airs and 13" Pros. Should definitely be worth getting if the new 2021 MBPs are too thiccc for you.
They're not the same people.

I also canceled my order. I only care about thin and light. Can't justify traveling with a brick every day when the mba m1 is more than enough as a software engineer.
MBA M1 is a really great machine for software engineering, especially if you have 16GB. Even my 8GB M1 has been good.
I'm also a dev and I'm getting the 16". I need 32GB of RAM, more multicore for compiling, and most importantly, the 16" screen for more space.
I really wish they had a 32GB mba. I might just wait for one of my client to send me one, but yes when you're running docker, 32gb does help. I'm using a portable 15inch 4k monitor with an ipad stand so it's closer to my eyes and at the right height.
I really hope when this transition is complete that Apple experiments with a successor to the PowerBook G4 12", MacBook Air 11" and one-port MacBook. If nothing else, just to show off what can be done with Apple Silicon.
That said, I am eagerly awaiting my 14" after eight years in laptop limbo, and will most definitely not be sending it back unless there are significant design och production issues that have not become apparent yet.
It looks like the Jony Ive’s Thinness complainers brigade just refocused on thickness. Way to go!
The macbook 12 was probably the best laptop I ever had until it started slowing down. This format with an m1 makes it a way better alternative to an iPad Pro with a keyboard.
Now I understand why he left apple ?. Honestly, I don't feel like the thicker size is important. It's 0.02 inch and 0.1kg bigger
