That no more than 5 years old really hurts the deal potential.

If the surface go is $500 at bestbuy, while $599 at Costco, it tells me that I am really only effectively getting $100 for my trade-in.

How to get folks not to buy the item...
Make it super confusing regarding the qualifying trade in, so people just pass and move on.
Agree and wait for some third party to tell you 91 days later that your laptop does not qualify so you're stuck with your Costco purchase!

Will they return the trade in if it gets denied for free (like Samsung does)?

This isn't a slick deal for the Surface Laptop Go. But it might be a good deal for a more expensive laptop & $300 trade in, assuming you can meet the trade in conditions, which is dicy.

Quote from aznruffryder13 :
are you saying I can purchase a beat up or brand new laptop that fits the criteria for $150. Buy a $799 Windows laptop. Get a $300 costco gift card. Return the $799 laptop. Use the $300 gift card on a laptop I actually want. And I would save $150 on a new laptop?
Correct.
But, while it saves you $150, it is not the same purpose of recycling...

Under 'Can I Claim' in website they have a list of laptops that are eligible for trade in and most models they are asking for (check sku number) are very recent , like 1 year old. Not sure how everyone is assuming non brand old laptops will be eligible

Interesting this laptop says it qualifies despite being below $599 after coupon. I wonder if its off base price?

Only 8 GB of memory. Soldered, so not expandable. Hard pass; at least 16 GB is needed for Windows 10 or 11, imo.

Your opinion is misguided. There is a lot of work that can be accomplished with 8GB of RAM. This is a small computer, it's not going to be anyone's primary device.

What's good about Surface Laptop? Looks very average and feels like you could get a lot of other great options in this price range.

That list include the laptops with the associated Costco item numbers whose purchase qualifies for the trade in promotion

I have iPad Air 2. Would that work for the trade in ?

I have a Lenova Thinkpad Z710 manufactured in September 2018. It is not on the list of eligible laptops - what's up with that, Costco? It powers up, et al, it's new enough, and lord knows it's a pricier laptop than many of the eligible ones listed
