What I did with my Mac mini was get an OWC Thunderbolt enclosure and drop a 4TB WD Black NVME in it. Spent about $350 which was way cheaper than adding storage with Apple's prices.

Wow that beefy of a computer should come with a 2TB SSD! At least 1TB base.
Great deal for the rest of the machine though!

A 14" MacBook Pro with the same M4 Max (and 1TB storage, minimum storage for the MBP with this chip) goes for $3,200 at Apple, just for reference.

The MBP has the screen, keyboard, trackpad, and portability (edit- and 512GB of additional storage), but this Studio gives you a few extra ports (including USB-A and 10Gb Ethernet) and is almost half the price.

The ultra version is super slick if you can get it. Too bad they don't ship.

I can't believe that Mac Studio M3U with Mac Studio Display is cheaper than a 16.2 64GB MacBook Pro with M4 Max chip w/ 2TB. Desktop computing is way cheaper than laptop. Give thanks to Mac Mini by creating the inexpensive solution over MacBook.

They are already providing this much discount. Looks like microcenter gets good profit margin for selling these devices.

Which config is ultra? Better than M4 max?

Things for a little bit less than Best buy at all times, but only limited areas, I love the store, love that they're following the anti-circuit City grow too fast fail motto but really wish we had these deals nationwide :/

Microcenter is the best when it comes to slick deals always! Maybe one day I can purchase something from them
