Better ways to manage storage than pay the $/GB Apple sells, especially for a desktop device.

There's also an alternative option if you're interested in getting the M1 Max 32 GB Amazon renewed for $699. It occasionally comes back in stock. I'm always torn between the two options and haven't made a decision yet.

Quote from dealqueen34625 :
quick question guys, I traded in my macbook air M3 for $550 and bought this after tax for $500 at best buy, was it a good move? Now I lose the ability to use a computer remotely..... so now, is it worth it to spend another $800 for an ipad pro to pair with "remotely control" the mac mini? i currently have ipad air 5th M1 chip, but i want a 13 inch ipad pro. Any idea or opinion will help me decide. Thank you guys
It all depends on your use case but this is more powerful than an air so spec wise it's a win.

If you're not planning on doing heavy duty work on the ipad (like photo or video editing), you don't need to spend more on the pro. Also, the ipad can't be used as the primary display for a mac mini, only a second screen.

Does Micro Center realize that not everybody lives near one of their store?


I used to live 10 minutes away from one.... now I've 280 miles from one.
I'm sure they do realize that. Why do you ask?

I agree, but I'm determined to make it work with external SSD's that I already have.

Note they do have the 1TB version for $1869 at Microcenter, but I don't see it at Best Buy.
Apple Mac Studio Z1CD0013M (Early 2025) Desktop Computer; Apple M4 Max 14-Core CPU; 36GB Unified Memory; 1TB Solid State - Micro Center
I'd say it's a viable solution for any of the desktop Macs. It ends up being more annoying on the MacBooks, though. Storage is very expensive on the M4 Pros.

This is plenty powerful for Roblox I'm pretty sure, and they released support for Apple Silicon two years ago.

This may be a YMMV situation. Best Buy wouldn't price match for me. They said, "Thank you for waiting, I am afraid I cannot price match this item as the price entered is below the allowed discount for this item. It is already on discount at BestBuy that is why it will not allow me."
Hope you were able to try again and had better luck. Chat rep simply wanted to know SKU and the competitor I was pricing against. Sent me an invoice by email to buy and then did the price adjustment. Easy Peasy. BB Return window is through Jan 31, unlike Microcenter 15 day return policy.

No, I was tired of messing with Best Buy. I wasted about 20 minutes chatting with CS for nothing. I ended up getting one at Costco for $499. I feel better about their CS and it looks like there's a two-year warranty included.

This or wait for Black Friday?
It seems like it is this price at microcenter every other week. If you miss this, I am sure they will have it at this price again. That said, I doubt you will find a better deal. But since this price is so frequent, there is probably no harm in waiting just to be sure.

Not sure what the deal with this post is, I kept having to re-save it. Finally was able to update it.

Is this discounted price offered a few times during the year? I'm numb to this price.
