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!

Anyone else who placed an order to ship stuck with just a label created status on the FedEx tracking website? Seems odd to me that something due to arrive tomorrow hasn't actually left the initial facility

Same for me but I did get a FedEx tracking number

Quote from TX_aggie :
I think what complicated my case was the color I wanted to swap to wasn't in stock at my store so they were going to have to order it from another store, which then required another price match adjustment which the manager refused to do. If it's in stock at your store you may have better luck exchanging.
Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at the other colors in person and see if it's worth my time or if I even want to get a different color.

Thank you OP. Was able to price Match the 13 inch 2024 Air for 791.99 (base model- 8GB/256 GB). This should be fine for me just browsing and basic Excel work. Still in stock at Indianapolis store, so no questions from the Bestbuy. agent. Got it ordered within 10 mins or so.

Dammit! FedEx tried to deliver mid-day when nobody was home. Best Buy restricted it (because over $1000) requiring signature and doesn't allow for option to pickup at local FedEx or elsewhere. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow.

For those that picked up the order - did you have to bring your CC? Or did it only require ID?

This $1080 M3 13" Air became an aspirational purchase as I decided to re-look at AI image generation on the local computer instead only using the online versions

Hope that's the case when my family member goes to pick it up tomorrow as I'm not even sure how I selected their name and when I entered my credit card info, it ended up changing to their name also, but the card obviously is mine...
