Maybe B&H will price match microcenter?

Can someone advise me if upgrading to this MacBook would actually make sense for my use case?
Main usage:

  • Light video editing
  • Around 20 browser tabs open at once for running my online store
  • General multitasking/productivity
Current machine:

  • Apple 2021 MacBook Pro 14-inch (A2442)
  • M1 Pro 10-core CPU / 16-core GPU
  • 16GB RAM
  • 1TB SSD
  • Model MKGT3LL/A
Would this actually feel like an upgrade in real-world use, or would I mainly just gain newer hardware and extra RAM while losing some performance/features from the M1 Pro MacBook Pro?

Thank you in advance.

Bestbuy price matches microcenter easily…that's how I got my m4 when it came out with 24gb ram.
You're not gonna get lower than this price for an m5 24gb..this is almost on par with m4 24 512 when it came out

Did you do it over the phone or chat? Do you need a local microcenter to match?

i would, they are having trouble selling this. don't buy the fake news that claim macbook air is out of stock. no company will sell a highly demanded items for below MSRP.

Chat. You don't need a local per se, but some agents might want one closest to you..
I don't know how others do it but you have to first buy the item, the agent says to make the purchase then give the order number
