Sold out: 16 inch link
The rest of the Officeworks M3 clearance is also pretty good for people who don’t need / missed the M3 max deal

why is that?
Cause old mate marshy said so 🙄
Mate - and that's coming from him!
this is coming even from me.
who even are you?
Show some respect, Marsh is ozbargainers premier laptop bargain hunter (and self-proclaimed expert and connoisseur of all things laptops), being the only 1 capable of purchasing a 4060 gaming laptop for $800, a mythical feat no one else has been capable of replicating.
Someone with both a lot of time on their hands and some very important feelings.
The 36GB 16” seems like great value? $4300 to $4900 at most other stores online, and you get $125ish flybuys points as well. Bloody tempting.
Half price go for it!
I went for it! I’m currently using a 2016 Mac that I got for around $2100, so I think this is a good price.
MacBook Pro 16 M3 36/512GB Space Black
How do you get $125 of flybuys points?
$2500 = 2500 points at Officeworks = $12.50
OnePass boosts points x5 to 12500 points = $62.50
I had 10x boost when I made the comment, didn’t realise it was targeted.
These arent m3 pro, just standard m3
doesn't the 16" only come with m3 pro / m3 max?
Officeworks says M3, but it’s M3 pro looking at the model number. 16” 36GB version anyway. MRW23X/A.
yep missed out on the 1TB but ordered one of these! Thanks OP
Ordered the 36gb/512gb version and got a “your order is under review” email. Expecting the order cancelled email soon.
512GB non-upgradable storage for a pro machine is such a joke.
It is a joke, but sadly only Tim Apple is laughing
Everyone complains about limited storage, but so few people actually need large storage drives.
You can get an flush MacBook SD to micro SDcard reader it’s not perfect but can add a 2tb micro SD and have plenty of media storage
Is 512gb still considered large storage? On my current work laptop I have a 512gb and 2tb ssd both are full. Various ISOs and programming suites + adobe collection the space goes fast.
Similar industries to you by the looks of it. VMs and dev environment running on vs. Issues will arise one azure ceases in 2027, but till then, space isn't an issue.
Specs: V8 twin turbo engine + 40L fuel tank.
This is exactly my thinking
That’s a crazy prize for a Pro chip isn’t it? Even if it’s 2 years old
But seems unattainable, won’t add to cart
Site's down for maintenance;)
Great deal, just signed up to upvote the deal. Longtime observer, finally decided to sign up to join the community. 🙌
Just ordered a 1TB. Let’s hope they accept the orders!
Thanks OP! Was disappointed to miss out on the M3 Max earlier. Bought a 16" 36/512
Can't find any stock anywhere for 36Gb RAM.
Can’t you order click and collect to your local?
join onepass for a month for $4, link your flybuys for 5 x points and free delivery (although could be free delivery regardless?)
5 x Flybuys points is no go with delivery orders. Need Click & Collect to get 5 x points.
Thanks! Just bought 36GB 512 macbook pro 16 inch. I think it is no brainer to go 36GB for extra $200. Pick up in store next Tuesday.
Was thinking about using Bupa 2% discount gift card, but the website says "in store only". If I walk in a store tomorrow with 5x $500GC , the deal might be gone!
I wonder how many purchasers would need the extra 18GB.
Received an email just now:
“We are currently reviewing your order. Given the current demand, you may experience a delay in receiving an order confirmation.
Once our review is completed, we will send you an order confirmation email and then start the process of getting your order ready.”
Did you get a follow up email yet?
I did this morning, order confirmation
I got the backorder email: choose whether to wait or cancel
Did you order before or after the maintenance on their site?
ordered 36/512 space grey, Same email, let's see.
Hey guys have you got any update or any email after that email of backorder?
I dont think there are many stocks.
Only 1 space gray 16" 18GB available in store in South Australia. Other states may be similar.
Can't check out…
Got 16”18/512 variation and order confirmed straight away. Was in market for MBA 15”. But why not at this price.
Website back up! 16inch space black already out of stock, silver still available
Both 16-inch OOS
Still available to order
Nope
Got mail from them with options of backorder and cancel to refund. I am holding it…lets hope to get it soon 🙏
congrats to ppl who got it! great price on brand new M3 Pros. MBP 16 FTW.
when I was moving to Apple silicon 2 years ago, I was worried about the weight and got MBP 14 first. I used it for a year, great machine but it always felt claustrophobic. finally decided what the hell and got MBP 16 instead.
it's totally worth it, screen real estate is priceless. also, speakers are noticeably better than on MBP 14. also it's more comfortable to type on it thanks to larger surface for the wrists. and trackpad is enormous. I have the magic mouse, but it's hardly ever used, the trackpad is so good. but for prolonged sessions using a mouse helps with the posture
it's a stellar price for 16 inchers, especially 36gb. I was happy on my 16/1TB MBP 14, but I could see it occasionally starting to swap especially when I have to run 2 editing apps at the same time, so $200 more for 36gb is totally worth it!
Wish I can buy the 36gb model. They were sold out really quickly or didn’t have much stock
What time did you order?
I didn't. was looking to buy it last night around midnight but was sold out
I think depends on each State but i recall being able to make it through payment after their maintenance last night.
Pretty sure those who were able to pick delivery day were not backordered.
Got the Under Review email last night after ordering and then received confirmation email this morning!
Fingers crossed for a shipping notification tomorrow.
Thanks!
"The cost of living is really tough these days".
Meanwhile everyone has money ready to go for a 2-3k laptop 😂
Or they have credit cards lol
I think the cost of living has made justification easier for buying a new laptop.
The level of satisfaction with 2-3k laptop is another world compare to a trolley worth of 500$ nappies 😅
or the satisfaction of scoring substantial saving on something that is usually not heavily discounted (ie Apple products)
Cost of living crisis affects some more than others, and to some extent I think gets blown out of proportion by the media to serve a purpose.
People with savings/investments and disposable income are less affected by the cost of living, and I know a lot of people on this site don't hunt for bargains out of necessity but to pursue a frugal lifestyle or just for the satisfaction of saving money.
take your pick of high yield investment cars, mobile phones, laptops, TVs, etc deals u find on here lol
you sound jealous
Not everyone.
well most of sensible people buying this already have something else that it replaces
so people trade old tech in, or sell it on, and this one only really costs you the difference if there's any..
when I went apple silicon, I sold Intel gaming laptop and a desktop, as MBP replaced both. had leftover money to put together external storage and final cost was close to nil..
and people are buying this laptop with a huge savings compared to what these configs usually cost, so.. it's a win
doesn't have a lot to do with the cost of living. similar windows laptop will cost about the same if not more
I can’t speak for all but for our business this device makes money so worth the investment
I have an M4 Air 13" and an M3 Pro 16". One subtle but noticeable difference is the keyboard, the M4 feels a bit more clicky and nicer to type on, while the M3 is slightly softer. For general tasks, both feel about the same speed wise. The Pro has a much better display, not just with local dimming and HDR, but it's also noticeably sharper due to 2x native scaling. The speakers are in a different class as well.
worth the extra to go pro then i suppose?
I hate that I miss out again :/
Went into the Carnegie officework store yesterday as they had stock for the 18/512 16" MBP on their website. Was told it was an ex-demo when I got in. Requested for further discount and the manager brought it down to 2180$. Pretty happy with the purchase. Happy shopping!!
what is 2180$
I’m sure you know it is $2180.
It’s great to see you are finally dealing with the big issues that mean so much to you.
It's pesos.
Same as me but I got it down to $2000. No marks or scratches but didn’t have a box and they gave me sealed 140w charger.
tried collection at 2 different stores and home delivery, all cancelled
Had you received any Order Confirmation emails throughout the process? Or just Under Review email
first was under review, then the rest were just cancelled, the newest ones are cancelled right away after order
Any comms about why they got cancelled? Was it just a stock issue?
Any sus payment methods/gift cards redeemed on the orders that may have put up red flags?
Got the 16" 18GB/512GB for C&C since 32GB was OOS. Order’s still under review so hopefully it will go through.
how says all unavailable online
Still in stock in QLD
Hmmmm would think they would make that available for delivery or only if you live in the state where the laptop is coming from i guess
People are already putting them on FBM place. I messaged 1 person to congratulate for making a nice profit and I was straight away blocked lol
Sad
I rung Officeworks help centre today.
My order is on backorder with and ETA of about a week. She said the order is coming from a store to warehouse then to be shipped out.
So for anyone that managed to get to the "backorder" stage with an ETA I'd just hold tight.
History:
After a few attempts, my order was marked under review on the 2nd at about 3pm, then was confirmed on "backorder" on the 3rd around 7am.
I ordered the 14inch 36gb Space Grey MBP
Still no update. Eta gets pushed back each morning 😬
Did you end up getting it? Mine kept getting pushed
Nah I didn't.
I don't think its coming. Ill leave it for as long as I can until i need the money back.
any updates ?
End up cancelling the order sadly.
The online team didn't really seem to know much of what was going on and kept saying it was coming which seems to be the default answer for orders on "backorder". But when I pushed them further they agreed it wasn't coming and cancelled the order.
When tracking the order it now said "delivery". So 48hrs later I rung again to confirm and they said it has infact been cancelled, that afternoon we got the refund. It still says "delivery" when tracking but says cancelled if you log in and check, pretty useless system on the customer end.
Ideally I'm looking for a M3 Max 14", so if anyone is selling one, holla at me lol.
Tracking number assigned on my order! Looks like its Go!
oh well. sucks i only just got base m4 air for $1280. would've been happy to pay double that for the 16" M3 pro, it's that much better.
at least i got better single core performance on the m4 chip.
MacBook Pro 16” M3 12-CoreCPU 18-CoreGPU 18/512GB Silver - still available in QLD
Anyone ordered but their tracking is stuck on being prepared? My collection date was meant to be today on the tracker but status is at order being prepared.
same here
Mine was the same and I called the head office to enquire. They canceled the order because no stock.
Grabbed the MacBook Pro 16” M3 12-CoreCPU 18-CoreGPU 36/512GB on the weekend. Will mainly use the Macbook for work - Microsoft documents, emails etc. Is 512GB enough storage for most people?
