Saw this in CostCo yesterday and thought it was a very decent deal. I forgot that CostCo does give an extra year of warranty and basically a lifetime replacement, as long as you don't abuse it.

Space Black

Silver
[costco.com]

Specs
M3 Pro Chip w/ 11-Core CPU/14-Core GPU
14.2" 3024x1964 Liquid Retina XDR Display w/ 1080p FaceTime HD Camera
512GB Solid State Drive SSD
18GB Unified Memory
WiFi 6E w/ Bluetooth 5.2
Touch ID/Backlit Magic Keyboard
72.4W Lithium Polymer Battery
MacOS
Inputs
3x Thunderbolt 4 USB-C
DisplayPort
USB 4
HDMI
MagSafe 3 Port

I read the B&H post wrong and did not realize it was this model for $50 less. I thought it said regular m3 and 16Gb. Do with this info as you please.
Good Deal?

Uhhh, what? No, they don't.
There are stories about folks returning printers after 4-5 years after they break from normal use and getting refunds. Costco is crazy about returns.

This is simply not true. Please link to a laptop with life that can beat a MacBook.

They are not doing any charity business either. Remember how much they charge for an executive membership. If someone getting a refund for a broken printer in few years, there is nothing wrong with it.

I'm not a fan of MacBook. I do have one but not using it much. But there is no doubt about the build quality of it, simply the best. Another plus is the performance when unplugged, you won't get the same performance with other brands, thus, carry arround. With the same amount of money, yes, you can buy a gaming laptop with better specs. But it's not for everyone. And MacBook is not only a laptop for some people, it's also an accessory, it's lightweight, powerful for their task. Another advantage of MacBook is you only need to update through settings. Windows update is not that good, drivers update on Windows is a mess, you may have to download the correct drivers (manufacturer website, then find the correct model...), these may be easy to you but not others. Also the convenience when using with other Apple's products.

Quote from jonny4 :
I'm sorry everyone. The employee informed me wrong about the replacement. This should tell you how often I post deals. No matter what everyone hates deal posters because they can never do anything right. If I could delete the whole thread, I would because of the b&h thing and then I get more info from an employee at Costco and it's wrong. I'm a worthless person, right? At least that's how it seems lately on this site. No one can do anything correct? Ffs. I'm very serious. I've seen nothing but complaints on every deal post in the last year or two. We are trying to help. Remember that.
First, thank you for posting the deal Smilie Since it seems you want the thread to end, I'll go ahead and move it to Deal Talk for you.

Secondly, though I know it's hard ignore the nay-sayers and thumbs down. Some have legitimate reasons yes, but also some just don't like Apple or the price Apple charges, some may be unhappy due to the B&H deal you mentioned, some just like to thumb down, some were possibly having a bad day or who knows.

But you also got several thumbs up on the deal too Wink Unfortunately the thumbs down outnumbered the thumbs up, but your post did what you meant it to do. It helped some users at least and that's the part that actually counts.

So please keep posting, don't let the negatives dissuade you hug Just make sure you put on your fire retardant overalls before submitting, ignore any bad stuff (unless of course it's actually useful or relevant), and post the deals YOU want to post. If it helps even just one single person, then it did what it was meant to do and your efforts were worth it Smilie

Actually...

https://customerservice.costco.co...-policy%3F

Printers aren't listed among the 90-day limited return electronics, so the return period is longer than 90 days. Unfortunately for the OP, computers are listed there.

I've had some good experiences with Costco returns in the past, though not the 4-5 year return of a printer good.

This doesn't apply to certain product categories - this was changed over a decade ago.
