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

Not sure if they will allow refund yet. Will try later and see
M4 advantage
Quantum Dot display
Better battery and single core performance
M3 pro
2 Gb ram with 150Gb/s memory bandwidth
4 extra GPU
I don't need GPU. But hard to justify which with M3 I save 200$ more
M4 Advantage
- being 1 year newer (OS Support)
- Brighter SDR screen brightness 1000nits vs 600nits
- Better webcam center stage 12MP vs 2.1 MP
- Better battery life
- Better single core performance
- Slightly faster SSD (the M1 series Macs are still better)
M3 Pro Advantage
- More RAM 18gb vs 16gb but at a lower bandwidth 150 vs 200
- Significantly better GPU (software dependent)
The biggest advantage of the M3 Pro over the M4 is the graphics and price. (If you can get this deal) Otherwise the base M4 is the better option if price was equal IMO. Having a brighter screen for outdoor use, longer battery and better webcam are more important then the M4 is a better choice.
Everything apple wells seems to be $1200 ish
