For some, buying from Amazon (at this same price) will deliver a better price - many will get 5% discount for Prime Visa, and some can get another 5% for Education discount.

You have to register with an EDU email and/or student ID.
Ask me how I know 😭

I did order a open box good condition last night I'm picking up later on this morning at $830 + tax which isn't a bad deal. I'm thinking of exchanging/return up to the 15" with 1tb storage for $1130 though.

Also the Chase Visa Signature card currently has Amazon as one of its quarterly rotating categories - 5x reward points.

Does the Amazon Chase Visa Signature get that? Do you have to do anything to activate it?

I have the card through Chase Bank, I have no idea about any "Amazon" version of it. They don't offer this card anymore at Chase but the categories concept still works. Yes you have to "activate" the bonus categories at the start of each quarter, I have no idea why it doesn't just auto activate but it is what it is. April thru June I'll be using it for all Amazon purchases, after that I'll go back to the regular Amazon store card.

While I agree with your sentiment in general, this is cheaper than the Macbook when it launched 20 years ago and a heckuva lot better! 😄
