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!

Got turned down because it's an "in-store only offer" which isn't part of their price matching.

Now I cannot access chat - all agents are busy. 4 reps declined my PM request before that because of zip code
Same 2 agents said no, and now says "All agents busy right now try again later"

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.
the mba m1m2m3 have all been using the same display since the old macbook airs for the past like 8 gens... apple has literally been reusing them since intel days.

thanks OP! Purchased a few weeks ago and price matched just now the 15" 16GB M3. Time is 6:15PM EST for anyone still trying.

Make sure to let the BBY chat person know they have to select the store on the top left for pickup on the microcenter site. Zip code: 46250.

They refunded me the difference of what I paid two weeks ago vs the current price of this deal.
Ok but do I give that zip code and lie if that's not my zip code? Won't they know once I give them my shipping address? Or you actually live in Indianapolis?

Bought the 15 inch last week at Best Buy. Tried to get price match via chat but got turned down due to "limited to 1 per customer" clause. Called in an hour later, gave them the Indianapolis zip code and they were able to refund me the difference. Guess it's YMMV.

Thank you for the tip, OP

Got rejected for price matching via BB chat.
They stated it has to match the zip code.

Is this gone from Microcenter too? I do not see $1079.99 for any location or do I have to physically go to the location to see reduced price?

I just got a price adjustment with no problem. Sent the Best Buy chat rep the URL of the item I wanted with the Indianapolis Microcenter location code. They asked for my zip code for pickup (I'm in Los Angeles), made the price adjustment and arranged for pickup at my local store.

When is this? I tried with 3 reps and none agreed
