$800 for a new Macbook air, probably won't last long. Seems the deal from last week for $100 off and next weeks student deal for $100 off are currently stacking.

Best Price for a macbook air, next best is $900 from the apple store with free airpods for education discount as well.

I really wish BB would sell the 16GB variants. 8GB is ok for most use cases, but anyone working with RAW photos will quickly wish they had more memory.
My 2015 MacBook air still works like a beast
Just hopped on this, thanks OP! Used my Chase offer for another 10% off on BestBuy stacks too.

How does this compare to a p14 second generation? The keyboard is kinda bad and I want to sell it but I can't afford a x1.

Was anyone lucky enough to get this on a sapphire or freedom? I have like 8 chase cards and only got the 10% offer on my debit card... 😂

As another poster said, not sure if this extra $35 off is worth missing out on extra 2 years of extended warranty from say the Citi Costco card (bc I'd be using debit. y'all sapphire ppl who got it are lucky!)

Apparently it's 2 years, and yes! It's through Citi not Costco, so it covers any purchase in general. https://thepointsguy.com/guide/be...-warranty/

Generally it's an amazing perk for appliances purchased at Costco as it gives 2+2 years of extended warranty with use of this card.

If you live in a state without sales tax like Oregon or Delaware. Delaware mall is swarming with out of state tax dodgers 😀

My 2012 MacBook Pro still works like it's brand new. I just wish I could get the new macOS updates. I might have to upgrade.

Had this since earlier this year. Got it for $899 from BH...
Very capable laptop for the price.
Crisp display.
Quick boot-up.
It took a few weeks for me to get used to the OS coming from Windows but after this adjustment period, this was a none issue.

For a regular joe like myself who doesn't do heavy gaming, rendering, photos, etc., this M1 based MBA will be fine for years to come.

I just got sick of going through cheaper Windows based laptop every 3~4 years and now crossed over to the dark side, I meant Cupertino side.

Sounds like average Macs have much longer lifespan than Windows based machines.

Are you saying if you use this offer you don't get any of the CC benefits?

Quote from gobblygook :
Because Apple is a horrid company and they solder the storage onto the motherboard so that it's not user-serviceable. You have to overbuy because you can't upgrade RAM or storage in the future (RAM is part of the m1 SoC).
It is easy to hate on Apple but…This is the norm with basically every laptop maker putting out a thin and light laptop. Razer, HP, Dell, etc. All of the MacBook Air competitors don't have upgradable RAM and/or storage.
