item 1814012 - Midnight

I'm sure there are other colors but those are the prices at my Costco.

Unfortunately they have not dropped the 15" M4 price further yet at mine.

definitely buy this over a Macbook NEO
DO NOT buy this over a M5 Air base model at $950 IMHO ($850 open box at BestBuy) 16gb/512SSD worth the higher price for newer faster CPU/GPU and 512SSD
If youre a super low basic user and don't use a lot of storage this M4 is a good/decent deal. after MacOS is fully installed it usually takes up 30+GB on the 256 SSD and you only have a little over 200GB free on the SSD.

Incredible deal. No luck at my Costco, but if you need a new laptop, $700 will not buy a better machine than this.

I don't agree personally, but yes this should certainly be considered.
$700 YMMV B&M Costco M4 base - $759 Apple refurbished M4 base VS $850open box-$950 Best Buy M5 base (which is 512 gb ssd)
The 15" M3 16 gb ram base went to $800 at my Costco, that is to be considered as well.

Storage alone is a big deal for some people and for only $150 more + 1 more year of MacOS update (usually) it might be worth it.
At $250 its a pick'em.
Like I stated, for a basic user this M4 plenty. I've been on MacOS for 5+ years now and just my music + photos alone take up close to 80GB on my hard drive. not including all the apps I have.
For those who steam media won't need to worry much about the SSD so 256 for them should be perfectly fine.
There's little to no more room to add my TV shows and movies. With TV shows and movies I'm already in the 400GB+ (but that's just me).
If you ever get to a point where you need more SSD space, its a PITA since its either external SSD or buy a new laptop alltogether.
