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 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

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?

Looks like the only color left in stock for the $1080 M3 Air is Starlight.

You need to pick a store that has it on sale and in stock. Was Indianapolis, earlier. But they are out now.

It took me two tries to PM online, but I was able to. They emailed me an invoice, for store pick-up later this week. I paid. I found another local store that had it in stock, and I wanted to trade in my base M1 Air ($475). I took the M1 Air to the store that had the 16/512/Midnight in stock, and they were able to cancel/re-purchase with the trade-in and price match. Took a bit of work, about 45 min including driving, but I have it now. Total cost $694.09.
