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.

I was at the Plano/75 Costco yesterday and although the sign is up, there is no stock. You can check on that iPad/printer they have on the display table. There is no option to print out a ticket for the M1 Air, so no way to buy @ $649.

What time did you go? My brother-in-law works at the AT&T kiosk and they had 3 Saturday morning in space grey after he bought one. I can ask him to send over the receipt if you need it to try and price match any place that might do it.

Once you use a silent computer like this you can never go back. I use a m2 mini with 8/256 and it runs great even for open source programming work.

Maybe, since the deal expires today I would do it ASAP. After today price goes back to $849.99 which is still an amazing deal (j/k people relax).

Quote from CalmTree2810 :
This still seems pretty expensive to me with only 8gb RAM and 256gb SSD. Especially with apples closed off system that doesn't allow you to upgrade any of the hardware. It will be very limited what you'll even be able to use this for.
You can easily attach a portable SSD if more storage is needed, but that's why I keep most of my files in the cloud, downloading to my MB only when I need it.

I went about 3pm. Thanks for the offer but it would have been an impulse buy anyways. I actually already have an M1 Air, so the need is not great.

Seeing it capitalized incorrectly repeatedly by OP as "CostCo" instead of "Costco" is triggering.

Somebody call Microsoft, I guess they don't make "professional programs" anymore.
PowerPoint's video recording and live caption functions alone are enough to trigger swap memory.

Like I said, it's up to you how to spend your money. If you only need the functionality of an iPad but wants an apple laptop instead, go for it.

Quote from Abhi88 :
If you dont be blind in 2024, any comparable pc is atleast 2-3 times better than low power loww memory low storage dim macbook air. Just because you get a $350 discount doesnt make it better. Only if m2 macbook air is there for $650 then we can talk just because of decent design. All these m1-m2 macbooks with base memory and disk space are crap. Doesnt even copy photos and videos from iphone, takes hours to process it. Stop glorifying companies mess looting public
The amount of sheer ignorance in this response can't be understated.

This is probably Apple dumping their overstock for Walmart to sell off, fronting as a partnership. A way to get their lowest tier stuff to the masses. I'm not a Mac user but also not really a Mac hater. They work well and is fairly user friendly for non-techy people but yes, the specs are lacking. And like I stated earlier, a way to dump their old stock to Walmart to distribute to the masses. Everyone gets in on some Apple MacBook status symbol.

Edit: lol, not Walmart but Costco. I thought Walmart started selling too.

Reading PC people talk about Macs is like listening to single guys talking about women. 90% of it is wrong, and the other 10% is mostly wrong.
