What vendor doesn't charge taxes?

Same price as apple edu?

Agreed not a great deal. The benchmarks so far indicate that 16GB may be unnecessary with the efficiency of the new chip.

The fact that you need to ask this question tells me that you don't need an Intel to do whatever you need to do with a Macbook. If you are just a general user or content creator then an upgrade to a M1 would be a nice and decent upgrade just for the battery life alone. I would not get an i9 because you probably don't need that sort of performance for what you do and you have to have some very specific needs in order to even consider it. So why are you considering it and what do you mostly do with the Macbook? Just an FYI, I have multiple Macbooks and PCs (literally probably a dozen right now) and I do microsoldering and component level repairs on Macbooks especially. My day job is as a software engineer/data scientist and the repair stuff is just for fun and to help out locals when they spill liquids on their stuff.

I paid $9xx for an open box alienware gaming laptop back in 2017 and traded it for the MBR. Pretty much at the breakeven point now and find a replacement at good price. Main use is for browsing and some microsoft programs, nothing heavy duty. There are no issues with current MBR and it performs well still.

I tend to be conservative when it comes to purchasing computers and only when performance becomes a hinderance do I look to replace what I currently have and I'm getting close to that point after 3-4 years of the same desktop/laptop setup. Anyhow, I, like you, was able to find a Macbook Pro M1 at Best Buy at a "Satisfactory" level which dropped the price down to like $960. So yeah, I picked it up and I love the battery life. There are compatibility issues with some apps and my USB-C monitor doesn't work with it, even using the latest 11.1. So yeah there are some issues but for light tasks and some 3D modeling it works well and battery lasts two days of usage.

I ordered on the 28th, and I don't have a delivery ETA at all, just say "backordered". How are people getting delivery estimates?

$899 Air.

Ordered on the 26th and still no update from backordered either. But I'm sure it's one of those Murphy's Law things where the day you cancel, it would have shipped and arrived the next day...

Ordered on the 27th in NY. Still waiting for it ship. I have a feeling they're selling these in their B&M location at full retail price while holding these orders on back-order until the holidays blow over.

That's great news. I ordered mine 27th and am in online Best Buy cart tempted to pay the extra $100. I will wait 1 more day. We all get 2 day expedited shipping right?

Anyone know a way to get cash for Apple store credit? I decided to return my Macbook Air and since I used giftcards I will have a $900 Apple Account Balance

Purchase date 12/8. This sucks...

"When checking, the manufacturer is currently providing us an expected ship date of the 3rd week of January 2021 for your order.

We apologize for this additional delay."

Purchase date 11/28. Email from Adorama today...seems like the standard response.

"Thank you for your inquiry on the status of your backorder.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer is not providing us with an ETA of when to expect this item."

Mine too. Ordered on the 28th. Dark Gray, not sure if it's less common therefore longer wait, but still say Backordered. Good thing I'm not in a super hurry.

Update on mine: I had ordered November 26th, it finally arrived this week - and when I opened it, I discovered the top cover had a bunch of scratches on it.

Needless to say, I'm pretty disappointed and will be returning it for a refund. Now I'm wondering...did they ship me a returned/refurb unit, and was that the cause for the month-long delay? Last time I order from Adorama...

Ordered 11/28 and they didn't even ship yet. This looks like a Ponzi Scheme at this point.

Ordered on December 01. payment Charged but no signs from Adorama. This is the worst experience ever. Looking at all the comments above I stay away from them. My last purchase from Adorama.
