Can anyone chime in to the legitimacy of this company, warranty, etc.? Trying to find some info, but not having great success. Great deal though... just what I need.

I don't know for sure, but they are a publicly traded company and their website says they're a corporate reseller of Apple Products. 🤷 ♂️

They're in the same spaces as say CDW or GC Micro. Just much smaller. Basically, you'd only hear of them if you were a business.

If this meets your criteria I'd hop on it and not give a care. At worse you'll get a low level account rep poking around if you were to buy more than one.

They are legit and have been posted here multiple times in the past without any complaints.
As someone already mentioned, they're similar to CDW or tigerdirect (when it used to be good), enterprise targeting and sell most of the devices in bulk.

I've purchased from them before, they're fine.

Base silicon in a nicer system. This is still sufficient for the average consumer.

Then buy a air. Don't add confusion to the mbp line-up

See the post ahead of mine. Hes confused. Thats all apple is doing putting a non-pro chip in a device with pro in its name. I get it they are trying to replicate the intel i3, i5, i7, i9 (M3, M3 pro, M3 max, M3 ultra). Get that maximum income.

This is interesting but doesn't the m3 come in 18gb, not 16? Also the 18gb only comes on the pro models and the larger screen size (I thought). Little fishy...

M3 Pro comes in 18GB, regular M3 has 8GB/16GB.

Just a fair warning, the base M3 does not allow for dual external displays. Only one external display allowed.

I don't think the M3 was for $1799 ever. This deal is marked incorrectly.

Seconding both of the above. This is a really good price for a base 14" M3 with 16GB of ram - really what would've been the ideal base 14" MBP model & price, biggest shortcoming is the dual external display thing, which is often not needed by many anyway.

This has more ram than the base model.

They discontinued the 13" MBP which had come with M1 and M2 non-pro chips, so they had to do something with that 'base' chip. Putting it in the 14" chassis gives it big gains in terms of screen (microLED backlit/120hz) and audio.

..or would you prefer even less options with no more 'base' silicon MBP?

IMO the only thing bad about this thing was the 8gb. M3, even base model, is fast as hell.

That's a customize version. You can get up to 24gb ram with m3 chip. It's legit on apple's site: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ma...-MTL73LL/A
