Amazon has the 14" MBP M1 for $1599 ($400 less than Apple). Anyone think it will be cheaper on Black Friday?
Got a tip for us?

Order 14" MBP now or wait until Black Friday?

I just ordered one for myself from Costco…same price. 90 day return policy. If it’s cheaper on Black Friday…problem solved.
No one can say for sure. I think if you can find a good deal today, grab it. Chances that a BF sale will have the MBP significantly cheaper is not likely. That is, it may be a little cheaper but not much, if at all.
Typical to raise prices back to (near) normal just before BF, then drop them again on BF, to make it appear BF is a big savings.
I bought the same deal through Best Buy. They'll refund me the difference if it goes on sale in the near future.
(However, I do think I'm locked into Best Buy. As in, I doubt they would refund me if Amazon discounts it further, etc.)

Yep, I used to work at a store that introduced one of those member cards where you save 5% if you use it. This was back in the when software stores roamed the world. Anyways, the night before rollout, we all raised the price of everything by 5%
Since then I never trust retail stores
I highly doubt you'll ever find cheaper than that. Black Friday and Cyber Monday aren't what they used to be. I would personally hop on that deal now, you can likely return it for the Black Friday price if there's a 30 day return policy.
Gone are the days of getting a PS4 for 99 dollars at 4:00am or something crazy like that. Deals can be had, to be sure, but the idea that you get the best deal of the year on one specific day is no longer true. I remember seeing some study a year or so ago where they reported that sales closer to Christmas provided more of a savings the BF as retailers made the final push to get better sales.
I think overall, if you find a decent deal today, BF won't be hugely different
Update on the Amazon price. Back down to $1599 this morning. Perhaps a pricing glitch. If you paid the $1909 cancel and reorder now, or even better contact them and have them update your order.
Agreed. I ordered off Amazon and they are now in the Xmas return policy where you have until Jan 31, 2023.
I'd take that price. I think the 1TB version hit $1,999 for like a day. Black Friday this year is Black Autumn.
