Got my Amazon resale unit for 710 the other day so be on the lookout as well. Perfect machine even with 8gb for most everyday things on osx. Video editing and dev work… maybe not.

How often do they discount the 16/512 models? I'm assuming more sales are coming soon with the M4 supposedly rumored soon?

Not often enough. I've been looking for it, but best I've seen is $200 off for 16/512 at Costco.

Might be better to wait for the M4. I think 16/256 is the new base model.

No way, Apple will not give base model 16 Gb before 2030.

The 16/512 is $400 more. Is it worth it for $400 more to get this configuration for the M3? Because 8/256 seems low for me.

This really is not a deal..every time I go to best buy, this is the average price. Also, it's an 8GB RAM model. I wouldn't touch anything lower than 16GB, even on a Mac considering that web browsers get pretty jammed up with 50+ tabs. Had a lot of pissed executives with 8GB models.

It's worth it if you need it. If 8gb isn't good enough, won't matter if it's $200, and Apple knows this.

It's the "everyday" deal, aka monthly somewhere

Ipad 9th for $200 a cheaper option for just browsing?

You sure you're not looking at the M2 model? This M3 model was recently released.

At these exorbitant prices, they need to make 16/512 base. 16/256 is going to create the same dilemma for most buyers as 8/256 does at this point.
