Hello,

I just received a macbook pro 14 with customized configurations. I just opened the box, turned it on and now trying to compare the device specs to what is listed on the invoice just to make sure this i received the machine that i ordered. So far i have matched a few things except these two :

I ordered a 1TB SSD Storage but capacity in the disk utility says 994.66 GB. 1. Why is that?

Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine ( i was able to match the M1 Max 10 core cpu, 32-core GPU. 1. I cannot find 16-core neural engine listed on the device. Where is this information listed? Or is it even possible to find this listed on the device?

That is all. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

994.66 GB is your 1 TB drive a few measly GB used for formatting the drive...which is what you would expect to see in Disk Utility.

You can see all your tech specs:

It includes a 16‑core Neural Engine and a media engine with H. 264 and HEVC support and ProRes encode and decode.

even the base model has your 16-core Neural Engine

Have you tried System Information? "About this Mac..." then click the "System Report..." button. That should show more detail about the processor.

Formatting that must take place before the factory can load the OS also requires some space for the basic instructions for data access. It's been that way since floppy disks ruled the waves.

Did you ever come to terms with this aulona11, any resolve to your query..?

The Terminal.app will give you all the information available, a hardware overview, copy & paste :

/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType

Drive size is confusing and has been since the beginning. See this article:
