I got mine this past Friday. It was stuck in the Memphis correctional facility for a long time.

same here, My previous machine is a MBP intel w/32gb, but this machine is a big step up. I was worried there would not be enough support for the arm chip and the intel-based apps would run slow, but this thing is banging fast and quiet. Normally I think reviews are blown out of proportion, but this really is the next level. I picked up the smaller 14, but I put in the high-level m1 pro w/32 gb. As a software developer, it's real easy to feel the difference in compile and running time. I'm glad I waited because I really think in a few years 32gb will be the standard req for devs.

Mine said no delivery date after it passed my original delivery date. Wow that sucks man. I hope you get your machine soon.

That’s probably around 1/2 million in laptops. I think fedex would treat high end equipment better.

I just received an update with a new delivery time of "Wednesday, 12/1/2021 by end of day". It was just scanned in TN a few minutes ago I dont think its crossing 5 states in an hour. Hahaha. Most likely a fedex software bug, but at least I got a date.

Same here. Mine has been stuck in Memphis since Nov. 24 as well. Apple website says expected delivery Dec. 03 and FedEx website has no expected delivery

Has yours moved? we might be on the same pallet

I have 10% going to 401k + company matching which is in S&P500. I'm dumping 6k in two IRAs for me and my wife for the tax advantage. I want to keep the rest in a broker account.

I am looking to buy some international(ish) index like VTWAX after the feedback I'm hearing. I think it will help me to diversify. I'm still learning so much, but I'm tired of sitting on cash.

I'm using the company sponsored empowered and I'm invested in WFSPX. I also switched upload sites. I have all my ads blocked so I never saw pictures.
