How I PMed BB today.

1. Opened 2 Browser windows
- 1 on Bestbuy on the one I want
- 1 on Microcenter on the one I want

Make sure you have the same exact product including the COLOR

2. Open Chat on Bestbuy Window
3. Ask them to price match
4. I pasted Bestbuy web page
5. I pasted mirocenter web page
6. I remind them it's the SAME exact product that I want to price match
7. they will ask for time to check
8. come back with offer
9 they did mess up for some reason twice so I pasted the URL twice and they finally saw the 1079 price and approved PM. They said 1349 at first.
10. They will ask for your contact then email you an INVOICE that already has delivery or pick up info already confirmed with you thru Chat
11. Check your email, click thru link and pay for the it.... once you're paid it's all done
12. Go back to chat, they will paste the order information as well in like 1 minute later.
13. Go pick it up or wait for delivery. whatever the option you selected.


My home state is WAY far way (700 miles away) from Indianapolis and they never questioned anything. Just tell them you want to order and hope the rep does not check that it's local only to Indi if that was the case.
Thank you! Was able to price match with this method in the bay area.

She'll do better with a 16" M1 Pro if portability is an afterthought

Got BB pricematch on first try.

Just some tips:

These PMs are always YMMV (really, Your Chat Agent May Vary)
If a rep gives you any resistance, don't press it. They are correct in denying you per their policy (assuming that you aren't in Indiana). Just close the chat and try again. You aren't going to win with, "well, someone else on SD got a PM, why not me?" If a rep isn't playing ball, you are just wasting your time continuing your chat. Just exit chat as soon as they give you any flack and try with the next rep. Sometimes you will get lucky and get a PM on your first try, other times you are going to have to go through 10 reps until you finally find the one who doesn't know (or care about) BB price match policy. Ill gladly go through reps for an hour straight if it saves me $400. Good luck.

With regards to the screen type (PWM vs not, eyestrain etc.) how do the M1, M2 and M3 MBAs fare ? Particularly the 13" models. I read that there are some differences in the screentypes that (might) matter.

People who say the m1 is as good as the m3 only because they have an m1 already likely wouldn't say this if they had an m3 and then used an m1. 🤣
