The M3 is only an incremental upgrade from the M2. And, realistically, the M1 is still more than enough for most people. So if you already have one of the previous models, there's not much reason to upgrade. They're becoming like iPhones and Apple Watches in that regard - there's not a strong case to upgrade each year, but if you wait a few years or more between upgrades, the incremental improvements add up and it will feel like a big step forward.

My M1 (with 16GB Ram and 1TB SSD) hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. So I'm going to give it another year and see what the M4 brings. But this is a great price if you're in the market for one now.

Add "/?storeid=165" at the end of url if your agent doesn't see the above prices. This forces the price of Indianapolis store at their end.

OMG I finally did it!

Best Slickdeals deal I ever got. $1799 for the 16" Macbook Pro (2499 on Apple's website!) I even got the Space Black, unreal. Proof: https://ibb.co/6Wd4HFT

Big thanks to Microcenter in Indianapolis for keeping ONE of these Macbooks at this price for price matching! Ha!

Step by step what I did, hope someone else can get the same!
1. Microcenter link to send to BB rep: https://www.microcenter.com/produ...ack?sp=429
EVEN THOUGH THIS LINK SAID OUT OF STOCK THEY STILL ACCEPTED IT FOR A PRICE MATCH
2. I went through 3 reps. The first rep said it couldn't do the because of "one per household". The second said she couldn't do it unless I picked up in Indianapolis. The third said the same with regard to Indianapolis, but they seemed like they were ready to go along with it (even in the color I wanted) so I just said I had a friend coming in to get in to get it and gave them a fake name. I did this because on BestBuy's website it says you can switch the order from pickup to shipped up to 30 minutes after it's placed. Except that wasn't true: the only option was to cancel the order :/
3. The kicker: I knew getting the price match on the OOS item was the hard part, so I just started another chat and explained that my friend can't pick it up. They had me cancel the order and created the SAME PRICE MATCH for my local store, pickup tomorrow, no problem with this rep whatsoever.

Hopefully someone else can replicate this!

Thank you - price matched via chat and local pick up in Los Angeles.
Coming from 14" 2021 MBPro so I just went with the 13.6" instead of jumping to 15".

The prices plus Apple silicon will make these deals so worth it. The current M1 is way better than the Walmart deal and the lineup has many options for those who want M2 or M3 with two different screen sizes.

$1224 for a M3 15" Air with 16/512 is incredible value this early on in the laptop's shelf life.

No luck through BB chat in Las Vegas. I tried to get the 15" M3. ..... "It is not eligible for 1223.99. because when we change the zip code the price changes to $1,529.99."

got shot down on my first attempt via chat with Best Buy...

"...However, we do price match with all regular deals on (retailer name) website except for the deals which has limitations such as instore only or limit one per household, either customer will have to walk into the store to avail the discount or they limit the promotional pricing to only one quantity for a household. Because of which this price match request would fall outside our price match program."

Do you guys think this is worth the $400 upgrade from the M1 Air/8gb/256? I was able to grab that for $650 from Costco and am still inside the return window
