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:
- Call your local warehouse [costco.com] press option 1.
- Ask if they have item 1481769 (space gray) or item 1481772 (gold) in stock or at any other warehouses in your area?
- Technically you can check inventory online [costco.com] but I prefer to call.

I've also used around 8gb for some light gaming, and run some Modded Minecraft which absolutely chews through RAM and has used over 12
Not saying 8gb/256gb isn't sufficient for a lot of people, just that there are a lot of legitimate use-cases that need more than 8/256
It is one of the most common complaints people have about the macs right now. It's not so much 8gb won't be enough for watching Netflix or sending emails, but the 8gb m1 variant wears out SSD faster than the 16gb variant. This is especially true if you have the 256gb SSD, which already has a shorter lifespan because of it's small capacity.
Apple basically designed this so you'll need to replace it after about 5 years. I have two m1 8gb 256gb Mac Minis from 2020, one of them already started to fail due to SSD wear. The other I use as a TV box for my parents and can still handle things like Netflix.
So, it's up to you. If you want to spend $700 on a machine to only watch Netflix, or you know you'll replace it after just a few years, go for it. But if you occasionally need to run software that would require more power, even like MS Office, then 16gb is the better choice.

See? I can make useless subjective comments just like you?

What color(s) did your Costco have?
Yes, you have to print a ticket. My costco had only space grey color
