It's essentially a reservation and when made, they pull the item from the shelf and set it aside for you to pick up. To order, add it to cart then provide your contact info and select the store location. When the item is ready for pickup, you'll receive an e-mail. To pickup, you just go to their pickup counter and provide them with your order number and ID and then provide payment.
Before the usual troll comments.

1 - It has "only" 256gb of storage. Yes, it sucks. USB4/Thunderbolt external NVMe/SSD will be a cheap addition, or get the aftermarket internal chip upgrade.

2 - It's still expensive. Ok, provide a link to machine that has comparable performance and capabilities in a similar form factor for this price.

Post looks good to me


Thanks for posting + repped

Notice that most of the Apple products are back to 15% off at Microcenter. Including laptop and desktop computers.

Why don't they do these closer to EoY, when I need more 179 deductions?

Great price, esp given the m1 minis that are 8/256 are $270 on eBay.

How does Microcenter work? I have one within 30 miles, but don't understand how to order.

2TB Ssd upgrades on aliexpress are about $220-280 now. People made upgradable modules.
