This is currently $1000 ($300 under msrp) and priced similarly to their 13" variant.

Previous FP deals for this model have expired at this same price.

I actually just bought this M1 13" Air at Walmart from Costco for $699 today (do ask): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-.../609040889

Should I cancel and get this 15" M2 instead for $300 more? Some expert please chime in!

If you need a little bit bigger screen and a little bit more power and you don't worry about x2 slower SSD, this is your deal. But I see, it's only for open boxes, not brand new.

Oh dang, it initially was sold by apple as brand new, maybe I should've gotten this instead for the deal

Well you getting the M1 13'' tells me you were looking for thin light portable. Now you are considering 15'' says conflicting preferences.

It's hard to chime in what's best for YOU when you can't describe what you are looking for.

If you are just buying because it hit FP on SD then you should get both. They are both excellent machine at great prices.

Ha. I've recently bricked my 15" mbp trying to replace the battery , and have been using my partners 13" lately which has been good enough.

My work laptop is 16" mbp m1, which I love, but won't justify 3k for one.

15 also been a bit too big to fit in my backpack, so 13 may just do it. I'm only going with an air because I'm too cheap for a mX pro 😭 would love to have type c ports on right side and dual external display support though

M1 16 inch pro was recently just $999 at Indianpolis Microcenter +10% off MC CC. the 16 512 config. Official Apple refurb.

But yeah if you already have a 16inch I think the 13 would complement it greatly.

Personally the 15inch M2 has been at $999 since basically Black Friday, so almost half a year ago. I'd want to see a $899. I believe it was $850 for Silver/Gray/Starlight and $790 for Midnight at that same Microcenter sale.

I keep seeing these microcenter deals I can't wait for our Santa clara location to open. 1k for 16" m1 mbp is a steal!

Agree. I see it is going to take over a former BB&B on Stevens Creek. Sad when the Santa Clara/101 location closed years ago, but deals seem better now.

How is your eyesight? For me, the extra screen real estate would be worth it.

Ended up getting the 13 850$ m2 from Costco because it had extra year warranty, will have to return the Walmart one.

I had 15 for a while but realized it's bigger than I need and has trouble fitting in some smaller bags

Hmm. Similar deals as the Indianapolis store? Usual practice?

Any date?

Articles say late 2024 whenever that might be. Articles said 12 years since last in the Bay Area. Was where the Walmart grocery store is in the Mercado shopping center in Santa Clara.
