A neighbour of mine set himself up as an authorised Apple reseller a decade ago. His best margin on any Apple item was 7%. Apple gave him a whole load of requirements about how his shop was to look like etc but as an organisation was singularly unhelpful to deal with. He was also not allowed to sell the Mac Pro for some reason never explained to him.
He ditched Apple for Bose eventually, who were much improved in terms of support.
The funny thing? @myrtlebee posted a nearly identical quote in the comments of the article you linked about the $1K off iMP at Microcenter.

Did he, how did you find that one.
Edit: Found it.
It worked on me, and it makes perfect sense it's an in-store only deal. I didn't even know there was a MicroCenter in my area and now I do. I'm not in the market for this MacBook Air, but if went in for this I'm sure I'd find myself browsing around and exercising my terrible impulse control when it comes to gadgets...
Sure it's a great deal if you want one of the two configurations offered. Not good if you want to increase th RAM and HD to 1.5TB......Not even offered. Use the education discount almost as good.
Negative! Education discount is only $50 on the base model.
I did before a few years ago and nothing was posted. Then I gave up, but good to see you’re posting them now. People just attacked me back then claiming they were a “regional” store and that was why MacRumors wasn’t posting anything from them. Clearly they aren’t a “regional” store since they are in every region of the US. They don’t have many stores, true, but they are not “regional”.
Damn, this sounds like a sweet deal comparing to what I paid for the refurbished 11" from them for $400.
Excellent price on machines straight out of the oven. It’s a shame they weren’t ready in time for back to school. A lot more would have been sold.

Not really. Many people prefer to buy them at Apple stores. Besides you have to have a Micro Center in your area. Also build to order won’t be discounted until B&H has plenty later on.
The deals are there for those who look for them and Apple still takes full retail from those who don’t. It ends up working out for everyone.

That is great Microcenter allow online reserves for in store pick up. Will consider them the next time I buy Apple tech.
I remember with the iMac Pro they kept getting stock in while running that $1000 off sale.
A much better price and awesome that MC is doing that so soon after launch.

You mean certain states. There doesn't appear to be a Micro Center store in mine.
Education discount is $50 off Apple's asking price. I would argue that isn't "almost as good" as $200 off Apple's asking price.
So I picked one up tonight to replace my wife’s old 2011 MacBook Air. The screen is very nice. It’s like a hybrid of the 12” MacBook and the MacBook Pro.
That wasn't a slight on Microcenter. I was in one while visiting the midwest once (Minneapolis I think) and it seemed like a good geek-oriented store (more real hardware and less fluff than a big box store). I was referring to the price of Apple cables and adapters you end up buying with each new device
I bought the iPhone X a year ago, replaced my MacBook Pro a few months later, and plan to get an iPad Pro at the end of month, and none of these purchases required purchasing cables or adapters, what am I doing wrong?
