Told you there were better deals coming.

 

[falkon-engine]

These sales are going to get even larger whenever M4 drops…. While supplies last of course. The fact that Amazon/Best Buy have to offer such large discounts proves (in my opinion) that Apple has overpriced its higher-end MacBooks… Why offer discounts if demand exceeds supply? I’d wager that for most consumers, the new m3 pro/max machines, while good, aren’t worth the increase in price $$$ over just buying an older machine. M1 Max is still very potent and very relevant in 2024.

Undeniably great deals but the issue I have with these stock machines (non CTO/BTO) is how low they are on SSD storage. Who's buying an M3 Max 16" and only needs 1 terabyte of storage? My M1 Max has 4TB and I'd not go lower than 8TB when I replace it. Since BestBuy only stocks specific configs, I'm stuck buying direct from Apple which...

Eliminates my perk of having free AppleCare included by purchasing through Best Buy (Total Tech Family here) and saving $500. Pay to play I guess but needing more than 1 terabyte of storage in a MacBook Pro makes a Best Buy purchase impossible.

Bear in mind you may get a better config for a better price at the official Apple Refurb Store. The 16" Max 1TB 48GB is $3399 for example

No it isn't. It's $3399.

who is stupid enough to buy M3s when it's already been replaced by M4 that's coming in a few months with significant better AI chip, when everything is moving towards AI... It's not like they giving 50% off.....

 

[andiwm2003]

confused. the M3pro 18GB Ram 1TB is 2199 at apple. at amazon it's 2099. so it's just $100 off.

The M3 Pro gets better ML performance than the M4 in the iPad.

Apologies, unfortunate typo. Meant 3399

Who would be stupid enough to buy M4 when M5 is already on the way.

See how it works.

Why are you comparing pro to regular?

Not really, this is an unusual upgrade cycle due to ai. usually it’s 2 years before next cpu, here it’s close to 6 month - 1 year

I'm getting one maxed out for my daughter who's a graduate student in electrical engineering. Semester will start at the end of August, so this is the right time.

The regular M3 is also about the same, but this deal is about M3 Pro.

Apple education store discount is better for the 14"

 

[svish]

Good price for the 16" MacBook Pro

 

[MacCurry]

Apple education store discount is better for the 14"

A maxed out one is about the same. I've decided that the 14" MBP with 1 TB SSD seems to be the sweet spot.
After tax, Best Buy is $2,282 and Apple Store is $2,383 (before gift card). Best Buy is doing 18 months 0% financing too.
