There's more than that:

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.
The slightly faster SSD on M4 is also incorrect. The M3 Pro has the faster SSD.

Quote from ranjan12 :
I got an m3 pro from costco, but I am having a tough time making a case to keep it. I have a Lenovo Yoga 9i 32gb. I ran the same programs like pcharm, spring boot, light room, java, chrome 10 tabs, and I feel with 18gb, MacBook pro was always using 14gb (78% mem usage). On the other hand, Yoga used 22gb (68% usage), plus it had many other programs running. Mac has a gorgeous display, but Yoga has it too. Anyway, I instead bought 5.5 shares of apple to hold for 4 years 🤣
Gah! I decided to do the M3 Pro after all. I just can't justify >$500 more for the M4.

Quote from PaweP :
Thanks for encouragement, after so much wasted time I'm about to give up on this deal. Did they asked you to apply for BB Credit Card to get this price match? I already have CC with them, so I assume that the sales rep won't have any incentives in that case. It may depend on the agent, so far those that I talked to, they keep saying that it shows out of stock on the locations that I provided the ZIP, but on my end, silver shows out of stock, but black is in stock - not for delivery though.
They didn't ask to apply BB credit card to get the PM directly, in the end I didn't apply for the CC and the agent still finished up the PM.

I just called (didn't chat) I and told the agent that I was interested in making a purchase and do a price match. He asked what I wanted to purchase so I gave him the BB SKU. Then he asked where I wanted to price match it to, and I said Costco and gave him the Costco item #. I was sure he would say he can't do it, but after maybe a minute he said, "I'm seeing that it's out of stock but I'll try to price match it for you anyway". I still thought for sure he'd come back and say he couldn't do it, but instead he asked me if I had a BB account and the phone # and email address. Then he asked if he could send an email or text and when I got the email, it was a link to purchase it at the Costco price. The entire call was maybe 5 minutes. So it seems it's completely at the discretion of the agent you get. I'd try to call if the chat doesn't work for you.

I decided to get the M3 pro from BB due to their 24 months 0% interest. Could've purchases the M4 base from BH Audio for $1,400 out the door but no financing available.
