Commissario
I'm a little bit excited to have ordered an M1 based MacBook Air to potentially replace my 12" MacBook.
Poll: *** The official 2020 MacBook Air/13" MacBook Pro thread (it has the M1 chip and everything!) ***
- Thread starter Feek
- Start date
Yup, yup and yup.
I cancelled the order I made a couple of minutes after the presentation and re-ordered using my wife's discount link which took nearly £90 off. It's not quite educational discount but it's better than nothing and the delivery date is unchanged from the 25th November.
Payment has just been taken for mine.
The more I read about this M1 chip, the more likely I think it is that this laptop is going to be a keeper.
Five minutes was too much for me.
I'm looking forward to seeing some proper subjective reviews over the next day or so.
Oh, it comes with 11.0?
They're all starting to hit now.
She's still bonkers but she's calmed down in recent years. I still enjoy watching iJustine.

That's me. I doubt I've ever got this MB warm enough to throttle.
I've just had the shipped email with the tracking info that says it's in Eindhoven which is utter rubbish, it's not there yet. I can guarantee that the tracking won't change until Monday or Tuesday next week when it actually gets there.
The MacBook Air is 400 nits (same as the previous model) compared to the MacBook Pro which is 500 nits (same as the previous model).
The new ones both have Wide colour (P3) whereas the old Air was just Full standard colour (sRGB)
When I bought my first Apple laptop back in 2009 (ish), I spent a lot of time comparing models and the screen on the Air was much worse than the MBP and that really was the deciding factor.
The 2016 MB I'm typing this on is 327 nits so the new Air will be an improvement for me but I'll probably never even notice as it's very rare for the brightness to be at maximum.

14%?
The Apple fourteen day return is ideal for you - If you're in the market for a laptop and are prepared to give it a try then you have the safety of knowing you can return it for a full refund if you're not happy for up to a fortnight.
DHL have updated and I'm now showing with an estimated delivery date of Monday 23rd, it's come forward by two days.
MBP or MBA?
It looks like the MBAs have moved before the MBPs.
Mine has now departed the Netherlands.
That's exactly the spec I've ordered and replacing exactly the same model MacBook. I'm in Essex and it looks like they were shipped on the same day.I went for the 16gb, 8 core GPU 512GB air. Replacing an older 12" m7 - 16GB 12" Macbook, I was waiting for the new shapes but I am curious about the performance of these and it seems they don't want to release another 12
Yet yours appears to have come by a different method because that doesn't look like DHL to me. Odd.
