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.

That same RAM is now over $300. WinkI was able to do a PM only after purchasing it and then having them refund me the difference. Like another poster said, they couldn't PM it pre-purchase. I would have much rather purchased this at Microcenter but it's about an hour drive from me. Thanks, OP! My first Mac after loving my AppleTV streaming box.
Although if I'm not mistaken you need an other Mac in order to restore the software if you change the internal ssd.

Not really a mac guy but having a crappy time finding DDR5 for my windows build and I use an iphone so i'm considering it.
Every person I've ever met that switched to Mac from Windows loves it IF they take the time to learn it. It really isn't tons different as far as commands, but it has a lot more capabilities and almost everything has 3-4 ways of doing it.

256 GB doesn't seem like much.
Perfect for anyone who just wants a speedy computer, just to browse on. Not only that, not needing to deal with antivirus, or all those junk advertisement Windows try to push on you, may be worth it especially if you have a good working monitor and keyboard mouse ready.

Seems like a decent deal. Reserved one. Was 25+ available in North Jersey less than an hour ago, now 12 lol. Will be using for dedicated 3D printing and design.
Edit: sold out now!

It has optimized charging that limits when it's always connected.
If battery goes kaput, do laptops still work plugged in?

Sold out in CA. Fuzzy memory, but isn't there a way to place a price matched order for Best Buy pickup in a state with microcenter stock, and then change the pickup location to one in CA?
