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!

Is this good enough for video editing?
Video editing 8 hours a day, professionally? Get a Pro model with 16GB. But just for fun video editing, only an hour or a few hours here and there? This (Macbook Air) is more than enough.

I was able to PM with BB using chat. When the secure link came, it was for 15" MBA, 16GB/512 for $1080 and starlight! But I didn't want the larger screen or starlight so ended up with the 13" in Space Gray instead.

Just another $100. It's already discounted $100 at BB. But I really didn't want the 15" screen.

Couldn't agree more. I have the same M1 model you have. Any idea how long Apple will support it in terms of software and security updates?
That's the real question. You may save now by buying an older model, but will you regret it in 3-4 years when it's no longer supported? Maybe, maybe not.

2 hours and 7 sales reps later. Success! They asked for my zip, and I gave them the Indianapolis zip code but let me ship it to another state. Don't give up!
