This is a continuation repost of the FP deal which was for CostCo.com. This deal is for CostCo B&M for instant gratification, limit 2 and expires tomorrow Sunday 3/17. They sold a few while I was doing our weekly shopping in Clackamas, Oregon.

CostCo requires a membership, if you don't have a CostCo near you or don't have a membership you can get one for $699 at Walmart. According to the local Apple rep at CostCo they only have space gray and gold colors, no silver. Links are for reference only.

To check your local CostCo B&M inventory you may have to break sacred rule #1:
  1. Call your local warehouse [costco.com] press option 1.
  2. Ask if they have item 1481769 (space gray) or item 1481772 (gold) in stock or at any other warehouses in your area?
  3. Technically you can check inventory online [costco.com] but I prefer to call.

90 Day Return Policy
2nd year warranty (reminder the Citi CostCo extended warranty is dead)
Free Technical Support
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Only 8gb RAM in 2024? That's more like a 2006 configuration. 256GB SSD is kinda small too. This thing is a toy.

For $650, this guy wants a Ferrari and a massage.

Well I mean to be fair for $650 you can expect to get much better than 8GB of ram these days and for while now when it comes to pcs
But yeah before I start being attacked by the fruit fanboys I understand that's not an apples to oranges comparison (no pun intended) and these things are quite capable when it comes to their performance

No sure why the downvotes for saying the truth. I am a Mac user for 10+ years and I laugh at these specs as well.

Picked up one at the Costco in Manassas VA earlier today for $650. If anyone is near there, they still had 4 to 5 left.
Did they have gold? I picked one from Sterling, but they only had space gray. I would like to get the gold.

Thanks for providing the location. Did you have to print a ticket from the kiosk?

What color(s) did your Costco have?
I talked to an associate at the kiosk and he printed a ticket. Only space gray was available.

The Mac OS is much smaller than MS Windows so 8 GB memory and 256 SDD works fine. Photos go to the cloud therefore disk size is no longer critical.

I think it's both of your complete lack of context for the average man. The base m1 air is a light computing powerhouse, even today. I've been using PC for decades, but decided to buy an m1 air because the new architecture intrigued me. The battery life alone still continues to amaze me to this day. You guys need to realize that rare earth metals are not an infinite resource, and we should be applauding efficient use. These machines are meant for web browsing, document editing, and other light tasks. For that, it will continue to be quick and snappy for YEARS. Let me add, that yes, Apple often makes dumb decisions. Their decades of intel laptops were marred by poor performance and heat issues, at the trade off for design. The transition to ARM chips has seriously changed the game here, it's a legitimate computing marvel.

Wouldn't be a Mac thread without a bunch of neckbeards complaining about memory and storage.

We have a fleet of these for video production at live events and they're fantastic. The average Facebook/email/web users should be fine.

M2 has a newer processor, upgraded camera and sound, a larger brighter display and magsafe charging. It also costs $200-300 more. If you are coming from an older macbook both will feel like a nice upgrade.
