This is a great price, I have a feeling apple is feeling the slowdown in consumer spending. BB still has M2/16GB/TB for same price. If I didnt already purchase that, this would be a great option.

I was looking at the exact same config from BB and saw this deal from B&H yesterday. I've had my eye on Costco hoping the M3/16GB/512GB config would go lower than $1650, but this showed up and it's the lowest I've seen for this config with the M3 chip.

That MC deal won't come around again. Can't really compare to it

What are you referring to? I know it's probably long gone, but just interested as a frame of reference.

Like I said, not sure it's even useful as a frame of reference because it's unlikely to happen again. But, it was this: https://slickdeals.net/f/17430126-select-micro-center-stores-apple-macbook-air-13-6-laptop-early-2024-model-1080-more-in-store-purchase-only?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

You could price match at BestBuy and some Pro models were also included in a similar post.

Stupid question, but this vs an M3 pro (non-pro CPU) is the exact same specs right (except frame and screen size)?

And then the step up would be the pro or max chips right?

Yes, if I'm understanding you correctly you are on the right track - the 13" Air, 15" Air, and 14" Pro all come with an M3 (NOT M3 Pro) in the base configs. The 14" Pro is able to be configured up to a M3 Pro or M3 Max where the Air's are not. The 16" Pro base config has an M3 Pro that can be configured up to a M3 Max.

The "Pro" term gets confusing when you can have use it with the M3 or MacBook (ex. M3 MacBook Pro vs M3 Pro MacBook Pro).

Wish they would just give the M3 some naming scheme (ie M3-5000, M3-7000, M3-9000 or something like that). Instead i see that its:

M3: 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores
M3 Pro: 11- or 12-core CPU with 5 or 6 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores
M3 Max: 14- or 16-core CPU with 10 or 12 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores

Just name them!!!!!!!!!!


Imagine:
Alder Lake with 2 efficiency cores
Alder Lake "Pro" with either 4, 6 8 or 10 cores and 5 efficiency cores
Alder Lake "Max" with 12 16 or 24 cores and 3 efficiency cores

WHAT?!?!?!?!

Yes this was for the 13". The 15" was available around $1221 or so with 16GB/512GB. It was deal of a life time as I've never seen a brand new product for that cheap before.

The same 15" machine was $1599 from Apple EDU website. I know cuz I bought one of them!!!!
