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.
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
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!

There's really no wrong choice, now that the M1 Air is $699. If you budget is >$1K then sure go for something newer/nicer. But at this $699 price, we're never had a more powerful MacBook for the price point.
Other than that, everyone asked for my zip code . But the last one didn't bother much about my zip code. So, totally depends on the agent…

I said a friend was picking it up at the Indianapolis store for the order to go through, thn I was going to wait till after the order was placed and then change to ship to me (it says this option is available on their site) but now my only option is to cancel. I can't chat with an agent right now.
Think they'll be able to change this tomorrow or should I just cancel it?
When they asked for zip, I said I live in XXXXX but am traveling for work and would like to pick it up to the closest store and use my best buy CC.
They asked me to verify my account.
When the pickup date was April 24, I said I won't be here that long, and the agent asked if shipment would work better - I said Yes.
Was on hold for a couple of mins and got a secure text for payment. Paid and got a receipt via email.
I'm guessing the BB account overwrote all that? Not sure if I would have issues having my family member pickup the laptop? Does BB only require ID at pickup? Or CC as well?
