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?
