Use the costco same day link for address "Lexington Road, Athens GA 30605" , it shows available and bestbuy will match it.

When BB try price match, dont they check where we live rather than providing a instacart same day delivery link ? After price match during check out process, BB agent might be knowing the wrong zip code... how this really working ?

Saw this deal yesterday while waiting on line at BB to trade in an old iPad and price match a new iPad to Costco. I saw this on my phone and funny, but the one Costco out of the 5 in my area that had the iPad in stock was the only one that had the M3 Pro in stock too. After trading in and price matching the iPad, I asked if they could price match this and they did it right away.

The BestBuy agent keeps mentioning that the link is raising error. How did others get through though ? 🤔

I was able to price match on second try today (first try yesterday was refused). I guess, today being Christmas, people might be more amenable to accepting your request :-)
May I ask the reason they mentioned ? They are saying the link is getting denied.

I don't know how it works but for me it worked fine.
Gave the link and then the address (the Lexington Road, Athens GA 30605 one, which isn't even near where I was going to send it), bb asked if I wanted it shipped or store pickup. I asked for a store pickup near Manhattan beach in CA, was given a store, though operator then asked again for my zip and I just replied that I wanted it shipped at a closer store. After couple exchanges unrelated (warranty and bb credit card) got a payment link.

I'd say it really depends the software you use but for longevity I'd go with Apple.
There really aren't any other laptops that combine all the qualities of a mbp, it may get close but never the same.

One thing about the screen in the M4 MacBook Pro is the quantum dot display. The screen latency is noticeably better on the M4 Pro than my old M1 Pro, meaning much less ghosting, which was a common issue on MacBooks.
I would go with m4 just for Thunderbolt 5 alone.

Even at a 450-500 price difference? I was able to price match this m3 pro with best buy yesterday, but I've been seriously considering cancelling this order and going for the m4 pro at Amazon for $1700. But idk if that's worth it, I honestly just need it for light web browsing and nothing else, I currently have an M1 Max which is great, extremely overkill but a bit heavy for traveling around, was just looking for a smaller form factor.

Keep that $400-$500 and put it towards an M8 or whatever in 5 years. If you haven't been constrained by the M1 Max, then going from M3 Pro to M4 Pro gets you nothing tangible for that $400+

Thanks op for the deal. I was able to get it pm'd and it is on the way. However, I am having second thoughts. Should I wait for m4 MacBook Air for $999 ($100 education discount) or this for $250 more?
I don't think a comparable Air would be $999. The base air now has 256GB SSD and it will likely carry over to the M4 MBA. A 512GB SSD M3 MBA is currently $1999 (with EDU discount). For ~$50 more, you're getting a much faster processor (M3 Pro vs M3), more RAM (18GB vs 16GB), better screen (mini-LED vs LCD), additional ports, arguably better build and you can get it now.

Thanks OP for the steal deal! Just want to share my purchase/price match experience in case anyone needs it
As of 12/25/24, the online deal has been long gone(OOS). So this is what I did to successfully got the price match from BestBuy:
1. I called costco warehouse in my area, asked for checking any locations have the items available, they provided me 5 different stores(zip code), and number of items at each store. In my case, I used Goleta, CA, 93117. You can use this if it's still available regardless where you live(as it's used for checking the deal availability)
2. I confirmed by going to the Costco app(signed in), and changed my warehouse store to one of the above store(at step 1,), then checked the "search warehouse inventory" under the "Warehouse" tab(the fourth icon from the left), with the item number 1780719, and the item should be in stock status
3. Started chatting w bestbuy customer service, and told them exactly how to search for the item from Costco Warehouse(step 2). I mentioned the online link maybe OOS, but the specific warehouse is not
4. After about 10 mins checking in, BB agent confirmed that they could do a price match and sent the checkout link(invoice) to my email for payment submission
4. Finally, I paid $1249.97 + tax as of Dec 25, 2024.

Yes, think about it: T5 allows you to use external drives at the same speed as if they were internal drives, making it unnecessary to pay for more internal usage. With Apple, you pay much more for internal storage than its worth, so I would buy a unit with more RAM instead. Also, think about resale value, m3 machines' prices are dropping like a rock on eBay, check them out; with m4 you'll have a bit more room in case you'll need to sell it. Lastly, m4 Pro chips offer a very good performance not only over m3 Pro but even m3 Max in most important benchmarks. Finally, if you don't have the Best Buy credit card and sign up for it, you'll get 20% off that would make it close to the price of M3 Pro at Costco.

Soon to be 2 years old laptop. Still great, but my choice would be new Air 15.3' 16GB all day long.
