Ignore the eta dates, once your item is being shipped (after bank clear the funds and appear on your transaction history), you will receipt an official receipt from Apple, with an accurate delivery date on top of the invoice, that should be the delivery date and it’s usually accurate..

the million dollar question, when is it coming nobody seems to have an answer for now, but we believe it will be within 2 weeks from now, or at least before December (fingers crossed) other countries already get them so we should be next in line really soon..

when are you leaving the country?

If they are up in our stores by mid Nov then you could still make it (+1 month delivery), anything later will be a risk..fingers crossed

Nice, enjoy your new toy

At least the 15” served you well for 6 years and still pull 5 hours juice.. compare to many other laptops, even after 2-3 years their juice can barely last 2 hours its a nice upgrade to the M1 apple silicon.. enjoy your toy!

I've been using the M1 mbp well over a year without any issues with the touch bar.. in fact I kind of like it, but in also ok with the F keys.. mbp has fans and will be able to last long but if you are using it for basic stuffs then the MBA handles equally well.. MBA is also slimmer and thinner.. if you have the budget go with the MBP coz why not.. if you are reluctant coz of the touch bar then I'd say unless you are unlucky, the bar is totally fine... plus flickering touch bar can be replaced under manufacturer warranty..

Nice, the 13 mbp is still a very powerful and capable machine..with good battery etc too..only thing are the ports etc which could be replaced with additional accessories, and it’s 3k+ difference for a base to base model, close to almost double the price…so the 13” definitely has its own value
