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.

Perfect Best Buy customer service! Had me place the order while we chatted. Gave him the order number and he immediately credited me $83. Only expected $80, but happy to get either so easily.

Quote from mrprops :
Technically Best Buy will price match this but in actuality they won't let you checkout at the price matched price on this item stating technical reasons not allowing them to reduce the price further. In past Apple price match deals with Best Buy when reps have said they will credit back the price match difference many got emails several days later stating their price match was denied, so be cautious.
Do you have a link to a previous deal with user comments where this happened?

Anyone know how the MC store pickup hold period works since they're closed on Thursday, and a hold from today expires Thursday?

Damn got one couple weeks ago for $475. Also, get a usb c to DP/HDMI. The hdmi seems to be a problem in some of these.

Lowest iPhone storage is now 256 and lowest computer storage is still 256, that I don't get. I never find any sale on 512. :-(
The 512 is on sale for 150$ off on the same listing.

Oh man I'm in this exact situation. I have a ridiculous machine with a 4090 and 128GB of DDR5. I use it to drive an 8K monitor that I work from 60-70 hours per week. I once-in-a-while do some gaming. The only thing I want a mac mini for is the integration with imessages, facetime, etc. I have my iphone and ipad right on the desk too, lol. What I really want is a live 'window' in my existing desktop that would pass through imessages and facetime etc, but I'd still be using my x86 desktop as normal.. Rant over.

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.
That is what i ended up doing! Thanks for the idea and looks like i just got issued refund on the difference!
