For anyone waiting to buy an M1 mac - when they do become available DO NOT BUY FROM RESELLERS STUDIO 7/iSTUDIO.

They don't honour Apple's warranty so their receipt is basically worthless. You may as well buy from one of the cheap IT malls where most everything is a counterfeit product. They try to look like a legit outfit as if they're somehow affiliated with Apple - they're not. Only order from the official Apple store. There is no saving to be made buying from the iStudio cowboys anyway - just a big headache if something goes wrong.

I must disagree, I had a warranty claim with Apple last year and the Krabi branch of studio 7 could not have been more helpful, they sent the iMac to Bangkok three times and always kept me informed. I bought an iPhone which went faulty eleven months after purchase and again a prompt replacement, they provide a pretty good service in this area.

Mac Pro isn’t new and doesn’t have the M1 chips they start at 190,000 and go up to over 2,000,000 with a monitor and other best bits

the MacBook Pro does have the M2, is available now and leaves all intel chips standing.

Yeah sorry, I meant Macbook Pro 13 inch. It has an M1 chip and seems pretty amazing.

It seems weird that they have the M1 laptops already when you can't get an iPhone 12 until the 27th November. Not going to complain though.

Ok. It must be just be my local Studio 7 who are crooks. They lied about the warranty when I bought the computer. When it faiiled after nine days they lied again. When I called Apple they were not happy - it reflects badly on their reputation. Apple spoke to the store manager - he lied to them too. Anyway, back on topic - I just ordered the M1 Mac Mini 16GB directly from Apple - should be with me mid-December.

Sounds like a very good choice having read/watched all the reviews and videos, I’m envious.

Im writing this to help other users of the M1 laptop MacBook Pro. I could not print using my old printer. I ended up buying a new HP smart tank 615 and downloading the HP smart app on both my phone and laptop. Now I can print wirelessly from both devices. 

 

I found out that I couldn't download the drivers for my old printer. It would not work on the M1.
