My god, AppleInsider is on a roll lately: https://appleinsider.com/articles/1...h-faster-processor-512gb-ssd-just-999-600-off

Mid-tier MacBook (old gold only) for $999 from B&H when you click through AppleInsider's affiliate link
For $200 more than the thread deal, you get twice the storage. Very good deal for those that need that kind of storage. I bet they sell out of that config.

I think I will be fine with 256GB, as I have a heck of a lot of external storage.

I just came across this deal and am thinking of pulling the trigger.. does the Macbook handle 4K video?
 
I ended up purchasing the 2017 gold version from a local Best Buy for $727. It was a satisfactory open box. It was missing the charger but I already had one at home. It was in pristine condition and only had a 11 battery cycle count. I am very pleased with my purchase.

How did you get it that cheap? Was it the open box version of the Best Buy clearance ($1039) old gold?

Yes it was the old 2017 gold. The website had the satisfactory open box listed at my store as having one for $727. I get to the store and it is actually $900 listed in store. They couldn't mark it down that low because they said its way below worth or something like that, but told me to try ordering for in store pick up and see if it works while I was in the store. So I ordered it and 20 minutes later it was ready for pickup. They said sometimes the website is able to mark things down further than they are, either that or it was a price mistake. Either way, This is a gorgeous MacBook and works great so I am happy.
