          You might have to unwrap it early to “download updates” ahead of the Christmas morning crush : )

          That’s how Apple operates. They rarely mark things down, especially brand new items. They will let other retailers do it even less than them. They just care that you buy it, not where you buy it from.

          As long as you don't care about x86 gaming, that's a great deal. M1 chip is more powerful than the CPUs in numerous far more expensive computers.

          That may also be why some people want the 16gb of ram - to extend the life of the ssd which is also non-replaceable and has a much shorter lifespan.

          (5 hours later) I see it now at $645 and a “coming soon to our warehouse” note on the product page. Still a competitive price made better with the Amex promotion.

          I was concerned about the 8GB RAM until I read and watched the various benchmark comparisons.  
 
From what I’ve seen, notions of the impact of RAM we’ve all formed based on experience with...

          For people on the fence, I believe Adorama/B&H do not allow you to return computers. Just something to keep in mind if buying for a trial.

          I'm well aware of that. To the best of my knowledge, no one but Apple has any idea how often the SSD is being used as RAM. Apple might consider a 5 or 6 year lifetime sufficient, while some users...

          I picked up my Mac Mini M1 (256GB SSD, 8GB RAM) from the Apple Store yesterday (my company's EPP discount brought it down to $657 and then did the gift card deal through Target instead of Adorama).  ...

          I guess but Apple makes it a stock “upgrade” that you can buy off the shelf at most stores.

          Yes. I want to use it for the photo processing of 45MB raw files. Was in two minds if should wait for 16GB or go for 8GB. Cant' decide.

          Apple is considering the 16gb version a special order it seems, I know the benchmarks all show 8gb being "fine" but like come on now

          Got excited, went to buy using my Capital One, saw it's not in stock (and doesn't charge until it ships), which kills the 10% back. :sadbye: Thanks for the heads up, though.

The only concern I see is if the cashback will stick if the shipment happens after the initial charge block on the card expires due to backordering. Your card will actually get...
