Apple MacBook Pro M2 Pro 14" 2023 - $1849 - No Edu Required (Adorama)

Adorama is discounting the 2023 MacBook Pro 14.2" base model by $150 with code "APINSIDER".

https://www.adorama.com/acmphe3lla.html

Steps:
1. Add to cart
2. Go all the way through checkout, on the billing section, look at the top to add the promo code
3. Add "APINSIDER" for a $150 discount

This matches Apple EDU pricing for those who don't qualify. Not sure on the debacle around SSD speeds and M1 Pro vs M2 Pro overall. For $250 more ($1599 seems to be the lowest reliable price the M1 Pro hits), the newer model is slightly more future proof.

Using Best Buy CC, I believe you could get 10% off using code q4fy23save10 and/+ 10% rewards if you received e-Mail promotion (expires 1/29). I've tried it on the more expensive 16" M2 Max and it works.
Thank you thank you thank you! I've been wanting to order the 16" M2 Max and this discount code sealed the deal. You just saved me $350.

Which deal? The Adorama deal is available. Not sure on BB as you need the BB credit card and supposedly the BB code expires today.

One thing to note, always check with your university if you went to college. Mine for example allows alumni to order it with an education discount and they don't charge tax. So if the discount isn't significantly less than the education route, I go that direction. Every campus store though tends to be unique.
Why not just order straight from the Apple Edu Store? Anyone can. No checks. No ID. No auth.

What school doesn't charge sales tax on orders?

Agreed, regardless, there isn't anything we can do about it. M2 Pro still comes with better HDMI, better WiFI and better Bluetooth. Really comes down to which model you're looking at and how much disk usage on the stock SSD you'd be using.
Apologies; I realize you are comparing against the M1 Pro. Forgive me.

I did this and it works. I saved $250 on the 1TB version

Fyi BB eliminating reward zone points effective march 1 unless you have their creditcard!

I've heard they randomly check after the fact and will charge you the difference if you don't provide proof. Same price form Adorama and ships direct from the manufacturer. Why take the risk?

No problem at all, I should have been more clear in my comparison.

I'm pretty much done with BB. Tried to order iPhones from them and it was a disaster. Haven't seen too many good deals at BB lately that I couldn't get elsewhere.

I really don't purchase enough from them to warrant getting their credit card, and IMO BB has been going downhill in terms of pricing.

It was in one of the other threads maybe a year or two ago. If it's not accurate, then EDU is probably a better way to go since you would get a better discount on any config not just the base. Going to 1TB will probably alleviate the disk write issue since there *should* be multiple SSD chips, although I don't have confirmation of that.

Through Adorama, the discount drops to $100 and the 1TB config goes up to $2099, while through EDU it's $2029

When would I see the disk write issue?

Here's the moment they confirm the single/multiple SSD chip difference between the M1 Pro and M2 Pro:

Here's a video about the real world impact so you can see if it would affect you:
