This 16GB/1TB option was made available as a standard configuration from Apple in March '24 for $1999.
Since the introduction of the M4 MacBooks last month, all new Macs come standard with at least 16GB of RAM (previously a $200 upgrade), so when comparing to new Macs, you should basically ignore $200 worth of MSRP for any Mac that previously required you to spend that much to upgrade to 16GB.
Which gets this specific config down to a real-world $1799 price point, to be compared to the M4 series. Obviously this model is 13 months old, so it's common for major retailers to reduce the MSRP by $100 (like Apple does with prior years' iPhones) with a 'new' model that's one generation old but still available in many channels.
Which is how we get to the math $1699 MSRP. Now, knock $400 off that, and you get today's sale.
Even with Education pricing, a 14" M4 MacBook Pro with 1TB is $1699, which does come with 2 more Performance cores, another TB4 port on the right, and slightly better screen. But that's pretty much it!
So if you're comparing this to a similar spec 14" Pro with M4, this $400 savings is substantial, IMO.
