Thanks for the reply. I generally try to buy with confidence and avoid returns of opened/used items unless something is wrong with it. Just curious, what did you get denied for?
Sorry that was a typo. It should have said "NEVER been denied".

500g for 400$ more, Apple really knows how to suck money
All of the computer makers seems to be over charging for memory/storage space. Having said that the Cpu is upgraded as well.

$400 off + BTS tax exemption + Paypal discover 5% points. I could save about $600! What a beautiful deal!

In general I don't return opened/used items because I've just assumed a retailer would not accept it (unless there was something wrong with the item purchased). I would assume returning items within the 90-day window (especially unopened) would not be a form of the "abuse" you're referring to haha.

I'm definitely going to have to consider future purchases with Costco though. A 90-day window helps protect you against an unexpected price drop. Is Costco cool with a return & rebuy or price-matching the new price? Once again, thanks for all the info!
Let's just put it this way. If you don't intend to abuse the system. Say if you saw an item that's few hundred dollars cheaper with in 90 days and you don't feel like price matching. Costco doesn't care. Also 90 days only applies to very specific electronics item. Everything else has up to a year I believe. Electronics has the shortest return window. In general, Costco just does not care. I have been people return half eaten cake.

Where the heck was this deal during tax free weekend?
Typically tax free weekend doesn't normally have the best deals. They know people are motivated to buy.

Is 512GB sufficient for dual-booting/Windows emulation? I'm looking to move to MacBook, but still need Windows for government stuff and don't want to lug around two laptops.
There is currently no "dual booting" of Windows in the Apple Silicon Macs, and probably not for the foreseeable future due to the fact that you can't legally purchase a Windows ARM license. Eventually, when the exclusive deal Microsoft has with Qualcomm expires, that may change, but for now don't count on it.

With that said, Parallels does fully support both Windows ARM as a VM and Apple Silicon Macs. I have Windows 11 ARM running perfectly on my Mac Studio. While this MacBook is slightly lower in specs vs the Studio, it is more than capable of running Windows in a VM. I wouldn't recommend doing it with 8GB of RAM, but the 16GB this deal comes with should be fine. Same with the 512GB of HDD. And the M1 Pro CPU again is fine for this.

Granted, as with most things, it will come down to your workload. If you're talking about some standard apps and use cases, you'll be fine. If you're talking about some very specific apps that don't support running under Windows ARM, use a ton of RAM or need 1TB of HDD space, that's a different question. Also, you should be aware that you can't run x86-64 Windows on Apple Silicon, only Windows ARM. Fortunately, Windows ARM comes with an x86-64 emulator built in to run non-ARM apps. This works in probably 98% of cases, though YMMV if you have one-off apps you need to run. It could also have a bit of a performance hit because you are running an application through two layers of virtualization/emulation. So try it out and see if it works for you.

I bought a used but flawless 1TB version with 10 core CPU and 16 core GPU for $1700 on OfferUp. 44 cycles on the battery and I can still buy AppleCare on it.

This is a phenomenal deal but check your local Craigslist/OfferUP/FB Marketplace first. You might get a better deal.

Yes, but CrossOver can run a lot of x86_64 apps on M1. I've successfully run both Guild Wars 2 and Lord of the Rings Online on my M1 Air. It can't run everything obviously, and not always well, but between the M1's power and CrossOver's translation abilities, you can do a lot.

Thanks for the reply. Does the 90-day return window allow for opened/used tech items? Some retailers state electronics can only be returned if they're still sealed. Repped!
Any reason. Can be you didn't like the color lol. Open is fine. Costco is the most generous

True, CrossOver is another option in general. I use that in some cases too and it works quite well for many apps. It really comes down to what you are trying to run, as there are a number of apps I need for work that simply can't be done under CrossOver. Since the other person mentioned needing Windows for his work in the Gov sector, my assumption is they might have more restrictions on how things are accessed that could necessitate more of a VM of Windows versus virtualization. Personally, I used to use CrossOver a lot more before I bought Parallels. With Parallels' Coherence mode, where Windows apps run pretty much like native Apple apps, I've been using it less. Parallels is faster to load and works much better. Granted it's also a lot more expensive.

Great deal. Bought it in March for $1750 and BB gave me $450 for my M1 Mac Mini which was underpowered - so I was thrilled. Had it for 6 months and it's been excellent in every measure. Output to 2 4k monitors (with a Thunderbolt 3 dock) and it's taken over as my daily driver, relegating my iMac to secondary. I'm a programmer and just a heavy consumer of system resources in general yet have no problems. I don't game so can't speak to that though. But it's an excellent machine. Battery is fantastic. Screen is ridiculous. Can't find many or any faults.
