Did it on first try. I suggest giving the link for web orders. It says in store only but at least it doesn't say out of stock.
what's the link for web orders?

Quote from deal2000 :
For all the people who own a MBA M1 or later model. In case you are in the camp of people who are using your laptops just for internet/email/youtube/office save your money and don't upgrade. I just got my MBA M4 16/512 and feel zero difference in regards of speed compared to my MBA M1 8/256.
I actually liked the more compact design of my M1. Also the M4 seems to burn much faster through the battery charge compared to my M1 which is at 84% battery capacity. It is too much haste to return it and I also promised my wife the M1 so I am going to keep the M4. But if you have M1, M2 or M3 juts wait until there is a revolutionary new generation. But if you are coming from PC or older MBA definitely go for the M4 especially if you can get one this cheap
Thanks, I'll wait.

To those who want to use multi displays, the M1 through M3 are not it.

I tried four times yesterday using the direct link to the item on Microcenter, but it didn't work. Today, I used the search link with the SKU of the model I wanted, and this time it worked—they accepted the price match. Here's the link for 13" 512GB 16GB model:

The link just shows results for a bunch of motherboards.

Quote from MrGreed :
what exactly are you talking about?

I pointed out that for $300 more you get
- double the storage (faster as well)
- much larger trackpad
- way higher quality speakers (best in class in the Pros)
- MUCH better screen
- MUCH better battery life with quicker charging
- an actual cooling system

Then i pointed out that buying a Macbook with 16GB of RAM for $1000+ is a bad investment unless you plan on selling it in the next year or so.

I JUST upgraded my home 16" Intel i9 128GB - the extra RAM keeps it flying nearly 5+ years later. Without the RAM it would be on eBay like all the other 16" Pros with low RAM.

My current laptop is a M4 Max 128GB, one of my business partners had the same laptop with 16GB of RAM. After watching me use mine, he gave his to his wife and bought one with 128GB of RAM.

RAM matters, even for watching Youtube videos/casting/basic shit, some dont notice slow downs or are willing to put up with it, but if you are spending $1k that shouldnt be the case you should future proof unless you have cash to blow which in that case you wouldnt be shopping for a $1,000 laptop.

You get what you pay for, yes 8GB and 16GB is enough to run things, but it is not an enjoyable user experience, maybe at $400-500 not at $1000-1500+

Let me guess you are the type of guy that compares a Ford to a Rolls Royce and argues they both get you to your destination so they must have equal value and user experience.

One more thing, thanks for giving me Tim Cook's future plans regarding base RAM but that really doesnt apply to me bc Ive never purchased a laptop in the last 5 years with less than 64GB of RAM. It's not a flex when you actually get use and value out of something.
Interesting reply as you started out making sense then you just fell flat on your face. Adding more RAM does not make your laptop a "Rolls Royce" any more than buying a bigger car than you need makes that car a "Rolls Royce". It's just got more room. If you don't use the room, it's wasted. Same with RAM. Maybe you have a purpose for 128GB RAM, but I guarantee you that having 128GB (or even 64GB which I have had in a ThinkPad P16s) does not make any difference if you're not doing something that uses it.

Tried PM through chat a few times and got shot down since it's showing out of stock. Tried the microcenter search link as well. Hopefully they get some in stock before the sale ends.

I had success late at night with what seemed like the offshore team. Got shot down previously multiple times during the day time.

Did you send them a link that just shows OOS for shipping and in store pickup only or did you have it pegged to a specific store?
