I was able to have Best Buy price match this via chat easily. I know there's talk about the real value of Apple and how many of them are overpriced (I foresee the comments). However, for those who are seeking a Macbook Pro, this is the cheapest that this specific model has been.

Note: This is the late 2021 model, not the new 2023 model.

Key Features:
  • Apple M1 Max 10-Core Chip
  • 32GB Unified Memory
  • Apple M1 Max Chip 32-Core GPU
  • 1TB SSD
  • Liquid Retina XDR

Not sure. Good question. Mine was in stock. I think they usually only price match in stock items, but I could be wrong…

This is why I will no longer be buying new Macs: the mainboard often overloads and kills the soldered flash storage, making recovery impossible and junking the entire computer.

As I write this on the best-ever Mac laptop: mid-2015. The last Steve Jobs model. Not a Tim Apple non-repairable atrocity.

I thought 2012 was the last year for user-upgradable RAM?

Yes, for RAM. But SSDs were replaceable / upgradeable thru 2015.

Copy. I think I may disagree with you about how limiting it became to get stuck w/ the same amount of RAM for the lifetime of the computer, but I do think we both agree that the "solder everything" mentality really damaged the opinion of the brand for some of us.

Apologize if this is a dumb question, but what is the equivalent of this in a non-mac laptop? The ram and disk size are easy enough, but what's an equivalent processor, etc?

Smoking deal for a 16" MBP if you can get it.

Fact is, ALL drives fail. Not if, but when.

thanks for the links MrSkeptic, but the zdnet article is 2 years old. Both CCC and superduper have been able to make mac external bootable drives. Additionally, you can make external boot drives with OS X, but it must be a Thunderbotl drive, not USB C. (although I have heard it does work)
