Thought I'd chime in. Returning my base M2 MBA because I've been sitting at yellow memory pressure on 5 safari tabs, mail, two messaging apps, and reminders in the background. Yes 8gb will get many people through most tasks like mine but if you want headroom or future proofing, best to get 16gb of ram. And at 200 ish more for a pro with 16gb already baked in, this is a no brainer. In for 1

Apple might be optimize osx better for 8gb, but it still not great. When deals for mac mini base was showing up people on SD, People said 8gb for be enough for basic media consumption. It sluggish experience for me if while watching youtube\twitch and scrolling through twitter\facebook with media feeds.

$1473 for an open box excellent condition. I've bought my last 3 macs open box from Best Buy and haven't had a problem with any of them. You lose a little bit of the 12 month warranty. It starts whenever it was first sold, but you can still add applecare.
My warranty was active on my sale date, I would check apple warranty checker after purchase tho.

To confirm this yourself:
citi.com
Login; ignore all offers
Click "Rewards and Benefits" heading
Click Card Benefits subheading
You're taken to a new site
Click VIEW CARDS if you have more than one card
Select the Costco Citi Card
Scroll down to SHOPPING BENEFITS, EXTENDED WARRANTY, VIEW MY BENEFIT

Warranties run out. Get an extra 24 months added to your warranty when you purchase items at least in part with your Citi card and/or your Costco credit card reward certificate. In the event of a covered failure, the item will be repaired or you will be reimbursed up to the amount charged on your Citi card (including Costco credit card reward certificate) or the cost to replace the item, whichever is less, up to $10,000.
Interesting I can use my reward certificate and still have it be eligible. I never use it for "large" purchases like this because I always though you needed the whole purchase on the CC for protection.

The reward cert is from Citi, so they're still paying for the entire thing....

Quote from hallen1007 :
That $700 difference is this:
16gb vs 8gb
512gb vs 256
14" vs 13"
heavier vs lighter
More power vs less
Its up to you as the user to decide whether or not its worth it. Just remember that laptops stay as you buy them. So typically would not recoomend a 8gb laptop. Yes, Apple does well with 8gb, but I still prefer 16gb. Drive space on the other hand, is a bit different, as many have external ssd's they use, which are far cheaper than you would pay buying from Apple.
In addition:
1. *much* better screen: 120Mhz pro-motion up to 1000 nits (14) vs. 60mhz (13.3)
2. Magsafe
3. more ports: 1 additional Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, SD reader
4. *much* better speakers
5. 1080p webcam vs. 720p
6. 2 external displays vs 1 ext display

Real world battery life seems fairly close as well. Obviously greatly dependent on what you are doing but some reviews have them neck and neck.

About the nits thing, from reddit sleuthing OSX maxes out at 500nits on regular desktop viewing.

I think 1000nits (1600 peak) is only for HDR content. My porn has never looked better!

HDMI will be boosted as will the SD card slot on the 2022 model.
And while those will be welcome improvements for sure, they don't necessarily warrant a $400 price increase over this deal.

Quote from luflame555 :
Picked up two different open box 14" MacBook Pros today. Trying to decide which one to keep:

1. $1470 - 8core M1Pro, 16GB, 512gb SSD (base model)

2. $1700 - 10core M1Pro, 16GB, 1tb SSD

I went to do an in-store pickup for #2, but it was out of stock. I looked in the open box case and they had the 10-core/1tb model for $2000, plus a sign saying additional 15% off open box, so I got it for $1700.

Both have less than 3 battery cycle count and warranty through July 2023. (11-months)

Worth the extra $230?
I ended up keeping the $1700 open box higher spec model.

I'll be returning the $1470 open-box base model this week to a Nashville area Best Buy. It is in mint conditon with only 3 battery cycles and Apple warranty through July 23, 2023.

If any SD'ers want it instead, shoot me a PM.

I have a question regarding the New Jersey tax free holiday through Sept. 5th.
Can this MacBook be purchased online - either via Costco or BestBuy - from an individual in another state (not NJ) but shipped to a NJ address ... Costco/BestBuy ships it directly to a NJ address.
Would that purchase qualify for no tax needing to be paid since it's delivery destination is NJ?

Tax is usually calculated based on the delivery address. For example, I have a NJ billing address, but have had packages shipped to Delaware in the past (no sales tax in DE), and was not charged sales tax on the purchase. My guess is you will not see sales tax applied if you use a NJ shipping address. Throw it in your cart and checkout with a NJ shipping address, and you should have your answer pretty quickly.
