That's a great idea. How do you go about price matching with BB? Customer service phone call? Sorry, but I'm new to the process.

As long as you're not running much else, anything that needs less than 48GB. Also depends a lot on what you want to do. Too vague of a question to provide a useful answer. Hugging Face lists over 2,000,00 AI models... https://huggingface.co/models.

FYI, B&H Photo will not price match Micro Center on this one (or other Apple products).

Some of these are actually 20% off retail and not 15%.
For example, I price matched the base 16" Max yesterday (32core gpu, 2TB, 36GB ram) for $3119.99 at Best Buy yesterday. It retails for $3899.99... so that's 20% off. I think a couple others might be this way as well. Model number: MGED4LL/A

Nice deal! I've had luck price matching Micro Center MacBook deals in the past at Bestbuy; as someone else mentioned above, you can usually do so via their online chat.
Does that mean they will price match if you buy it online? What's the process? Buy online and then chat or chat and buy?
