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!

I was asked to verify my billing address. That's it. I sent them the link to the deal at Microcenter and the SKU from Best buy and they confirmed the product was eligible for price matching.

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."
Try it again. Do a new chat.

All the items posted here are either 1-3 left in stock. Not worth it and waste of time.
By the time you'd reach the microcenter (ONLY Indianapolis), it's gonna be sold out.

Price matching with best buy is the only good thing out of this.
Not a waste of time. What a sour grape. Don't understand the salt some have around here. What is a waste of time is throwing shade at someone wasting their time sharing deals with complete strangers. One can agree or disagree on the deal, but don't insult the person indirectly! Don't like it? Move on or downvote . Easy enough

Was able to price match using link as mentioned in the OPlink , do not mention about it being different location than your location. Took all of 5 minutes via online chat. Best price for M3 at this point
But they ask for your delivery address and then mine says " sorry your delivery does not match our original address"
