It's essentially a reservation and when made, they pull the item from the shelf and set it aside for you to pick up. To order, add it to cart then provide your contact info and select the store location. When the item is ready for pickup, you'll receive an e-mail. To pickup, you just go to their pickup counter and provide them with your order number and ID and then provide payment.

They did last time MC had these. My closest MCs are ~2-2.5hrs away but BB didn't give me any grief when they pricematched. If you get a stickler who won't because you're not super close to a Microcenter, maybe just try again with another agent.

Great buy though- excellent value. Very pleased with mine from last time - which serves as a very capable 'desktop replacement' - and uses only 2-4.5W of power consumption during real-world use, driving two large format displays (at/near 4K). I barely even use my desktop PC anymore because it uses ~100W to do the same thing, and it's no faster or smoother than the M4 Mini for general use.

Before the usual troll comments.

1 - It has "only" 256gb of storage. Yes, it sucks. USB4/Thunderbolt external NVMe/SSD will be a cheap addition, or get the aftermarket internal chip upgrade.

2 - It's still expensive. Ok, provide a link to machine that has comparable performance and capabilities in a similar form factor for this price.

You're the one justifying 16gb of ram in 2025 LOL.
. I am not justifying anything. I am saying you are making things up.
It's like you never have actually shopped for a computer before. 16gb of ram configuration is more prevalent than 32gb for non gaming machines. Not everyone needs 32 gb, it depends on usage.

How is running parallels on this?!
If you're planning few OS running, go for a higher RAM spec. SSD is replaceable, I think.
