Available on Amazon for the same price, but I believe with Costco you get extended warranty included.

Agree with this, I've been following M2 and M3 Macbook Air deals for a while and except for the rare YMMV deal (e.g. Microcenter price matching), a $250 discount vs the more common $200 discount is the best deal most of us can reasonably get.

I think I recall the best deal on the M2 Macbook Air was $1200 for equivalent configuration (16GB/512GB) and this was AFTER the M3 was released. It probably makes sense to spend the extra $50 bucks and get the newer M3 for marginally better performance, dual external monitor support, and 2 extra GPU cores. The extra year of warranty and generally great customer support from Costco tips this over the edge.

Not for at least 2-3 more years. The design only came out in 2022. Apple keeps the design for at least 4-5 years usually.
The previous Macbook Air design lasted for over 10 years (2010-2022) so it's certainly possible the physical design of the current one will last for a while.

Another CostCo benefit is their generous 90 day return policy [costco.com].

Id get the $1049 version with 16gb/256gb of ram at bhphoto over this. 250gb of storage not worth $200. .
Can you provide a link? I found this but it appears to be dead now.

Costco doesn't provide additional warranty for Mac books and 8 think the return policy is also 15 days. I checked at the local Costco.. ask explicitly about Mac if you are planning on buying from Costco.
On the product page linked in the OP:


Warranty & Services

2nd Year Warranty

Free Technical Support

90 Day Return Policy

That is incorrect. If you go to the product page [costco.com]it clearly states:

Warranty & Services
2nd Year Warranty
Free Technical Support
90 Day Return Policy

Should I return mine to Amazon? I get 5% from Amazon's and only 1% from Costco, but Costco has 2nd year warranty
If you bought with the Amazon Visa then it has extended warranty protection through Visa

If you're using the Amazon Prime Chase card, you should have an extended year on the Apple warranty through the card…and if you have Prime, you'll get 5% cash back. Seems to more than offset Costco and for those who don't have a Costco….

Yeah it looks dead now. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...ir_m3.html
This is the configuration I am looking for but not from B&H photo. I don't think Costco or Amazon sell that configuration

Seems like a solid deal. Good combination of upgrades (16gb of ram and 512 gb ssd). I have the 16gb M1 air and it's great. Don't think I would get any Mac less than 16gb ram and 512gb in 2024.
