14-inch MacBook Pro (M5 Pro or Max)

I ordered this MacBook pro on May 29th, long before Apple had announced any price increases, the item was not in stock and backordered, the item took over 6 weeks and to my shock and horror, Expercom raised the price on me by $800, after confirming that they would NOT do this explicitly in an email back and forth. I never imagined that this would actually happen, and I was not about to cancel and then have to pay even more to B&H or Adorama or somebody else for the same spec, however had I known this was going to happen I would have made the purchase from those other merchants before the price increase as well. I will never do business with expercom again and I will never recommend them to anyone I know. I will only recommend B&H photo, Adorama, Amazon and other authorized resellers. Take care.

It took 4-8 weeks to get the laptop that I ordered. I ordered a month before Apple increased prices, and Excom told me it wouldn't ship until I paid them more money. Customer service was horrible.

It was all smooth and fine regarding the order, packaging and delivery. About the MacBook itself - there's a buzzing noise (coil whine) when it is under heavy load, especially local AI & LLMs.
