mine took like.......2 weeks? ordered on 23rd Nov, received on 5th December.
The processing is soooo long. when they ship it on 3rd Dec, it only took 2 days to get to me.

Guess its selling like a hot-chip with so many back order. 1st time bought a lappie without freebie  laugh.gif
thanks for the link. it explain in very detail. only a few weeks with MacOS, in someway it feels so advance to me. much more straightforwards than window 10. except that Close but not Quit thing.
wonder can i just QUIT it everytime i press X instead.

Dont think so. They already prepared for Xmas season. Lots of stock in the shops. In apple store USA, standard specs includes with 2tb 32gb ram. Can buy immediately from shop.

Look at my post with photo above. Comes with wireless charging. But after using a while I feel underpowered once you start connecting too many stuff to it. Unless it has its own power source.

watch through this video, i think its simplify enough of getting what you need according to what you want to do. honestly, 64gb is very overkill unless you run VM alot or you already know, you need it.
just ordered a customize 32gb with 5500 8gb on the base 2.3ghz 8-core over the phone.
find it funny you cant do a customize back-order directly at the Apple store, only sell you what they have on hand instead  sweat.gif

Damn... I bought mine then only watch this video.

Luckily, I got it cheaper than usual.

I previously own a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2016 version. I used the laptop for 2 years+ and went through multiple repairs due to the faulty keyboard. At the end Apple gave me a full refund of the amount I paid this year and I waited for a refresh.

Saw them released this 16inch and immediately ordered one.
What a big upgrade (for the same price I paid three years ago!)
I got twice the amount of Ram, twice the core count (8 core) and twice the graphical power.

I have not benchmarked this laptop because I had been using my iPad as my main computer (and stopped coding and editing photos for some time) but what I immediately noticed is how much better this keyboard felt compared to the old keyboard.
The improvements in speakers are noticeable, but not "groundbreaking" compared to the previous 15 inch. This is definitely the best laptop speakers for now and anyone who came from a laptop other than the 2016 -2019 series MacBook will be pleasantly surprised with the audio quality.

Sidecar is extremely fluid when paired with my iPad. I could draw with the Apple Pencil on Photoshop with pressure sensitivity when using sidecar! (No more reason for me to get an external monitor)

I felt like this iteration is the laptop apple should have released in 2016. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it felt more like a fix for their mistakes in the past.

Also, I got apple care+ from elsewhere because it covers accidental damage too (would recommend getting that instead of the one in Malaysia)

This is the specs of my thicc boi:

Google Apple Employee discount and came upon this.
--------------------------------
As an employee you get 25% of discount on the FIRST unit of any product you buy, so you can buy one of each Apple product line (iPhone, iPad, MacBook…) after that you have a family and friends discount, which allows you to buy up to 10 units with 15% of discount.

Just updating after a few weeks with my new 16 inch. All good for now. Battery life not that great. Speakers wonderful. Keyboard, similar to my old pre-touchbar 13 inch. No complaints other than extra weight and size when carrying it around.
