I ordered on 10th itself and still stuck under Processing, and I check everyday. 🥺 When is your delivery date? Your card will only be charged when it’s Preparing to Ship. So if your delivery date is in 2021, you might need to be less expecting that you can make it.

Did you upgrade your unit? Order a MBP on the 10th 9.15am and it's scheduled me for 22nd-30th December but I'm also still in progress dry.gif

Fingers crossed that we can make it! My cycle is on 27/28th or so, I really hope i’ll get charged before that date.

Hmm that sucks. I changed from Macbook 13" to 15" previously because I cannot tolerate warm palm rest.
The 15" with dual fans cool the laptop much better.
I still go back to Windows from time to time. I think Mac OS is superior where mobility is concerned due to its battery and trackpad but OS wise I think both Windows and Mac OS are pretty good these days.

Bear in mind that's heat only when I game. Even running 20 tabs on 2 different chrome profiles with loads of other stuff in the background it didn't heat up & was ice cold.

Expect some warmth when you are running programs on Rosetta 2. I'm still satisfied. This is an incredible machine for on the go.

I was just at Machines at Midvalley MegaMall and they have stock of the MBP M1 with the MBA M1 on display already. Wanted to get the MBA but they didn't have stock for those units.

The rumored M1X might not intended for MBA. Its rumored to cater on higher end computer like the 16" MBP, top notch iMac and/or anything on par to this.
It possessed more performance cores and MBA is not intended for this category of performance, yet.

Apple have brought the MBA to another level of performance with this M1, its very unlikely for them to bump it again before the annual refreshment period. Seems like you'll have to wait for another 10-11 months. Well, why not if you can wait, since Apple first release is always public testing for the next generation to be implemented with stronger performance, less bugs, and always with more new features that is jaw dropping.

I'm currently using 15".
So naturally the upgrade path would be 16" with their advanced chip. smile.gif

I found Apple TV pretty awful. I gotta pay to watch on top of what I already paid for with the subscription .... because it’s not an Apple production.

Gosh, i still have 3-4 weeks to wait before i can lay my hand on this device. Growing more and more impatient everyday.

BTW, i got question to check with people who have landed their hand on one.
How's the initial setup via Time Machine recovery from older Intel based Mac?
Was all the data transition successful without bugs? Or if there's any pls share a bit to help enlighten.
How about applications that are not supported? When launching it, what's the experience you get?
