For a desktop with this performance, this is an outstanding value. Truly remarkable how cheap *great* computers have become.

This is a deal that's hard to beat. I was looking at picking up an inexpensive mini-PC by Minisforum or GMKTek but at $400 you'd have to be crazy to buy anything other than this. Nothing even comes close to the value proposition here.

Best Buy price matches them any day.Unless you got Apple gcs 20-25% off, than it's the same.
Will BestBuy price match even if it is locally sold out?

What do people use these for? And with 256gb, I am always regretting not going higher when I bought my M1 MBP in 2021.
you can always buy 3rd party M4 SSD kit, bought mine months ago Sandisk 2TB for $167, it takes less than 10mins. to replace it, best bang for apple desktop eco system.

Could not get local Best buy to price match. They said because Microcenter is not local to our town.
Called their phone number and try to buy it that way.. the guy said he couldn't do it either because there are no overrides available to go below their current sale price $479?! What ?!

Is BB price match only in-store or can you do it online? BB is on the other side of town and don't want to drive over there just to have them refuse to match for some dumb reason

I added a 2TB SSD using a Satechi USB4 enclosure. It gets 3000mpbs read writes. I set Mac OS to run the user folders from the External SSD. Within the OS is basically indistinguishable from an internal SSD. So for about $200 I upgraded to a 2TB drive. My wife has been using it for over a year without issues.

I ran into the same issue, they said something was wrong with the system. I ended up having them refund the difference after first making the purchase at Best Buy's current price. That worked for me.
