You're paying 25 percent more for a 12-15 percent increase in performance, for a better screen, getting one port back because of the MagSafe, and updated design. Whether that's worth it for you, only you can assess.

"While the M1 MacBook Pro and M1 MacBook Air have two NAND chips of 128GB each in its 256GB version, the M2 MacBook Pro – and now M2 MacBook Air – has a single 256GB NAND chip. In the first case, the M1 Macs can achieve faster speeds in parallel, while the latter fails to reach the same SSD speeds since it has only a single SSD."
Plenty of discussion on this topic out there from other resources as well.

I believe you can pay using Discover on Costco.com. This laptop is available online so it works out.

It looks like Amazon has price matched the M2, at least for the midnight color I was looking at. And yes I've read the reviews that the midnight color picks up fingerprints pretty badly.
Since not everyone is a Costco member, buying from Amazon you would lose the one year extended warranty, but if you have Chase freedom and activated starting today for the next 3 months it is 5% cash back from Amazon and Lowe's.

You can actually buy this on Costco.com as a non member at the same price, many things are available on their website without a membership. I buy a lot of baby diapers and wipes online with no membership and free shipping. This laptop is also available without a membership and no extra non member fees.
