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.
My $0.02
Waiting for something might not be the best move. Especially if it's from a company that does NOT telegraph their upcoming releases until they deem it fit to announce. So "maybe" it has oled, "maybe" it has touchscreen -- or maybe not. There's absolutely, genuinely zero guarantee of anything.
Get what you need, when you need it.

The 13 inch M4 MacBook Air at $700 stands out as a strong value for everyday use, especially for portability, battery life, and general school, office, web, and travel tasks. It is described as compact, fast enough for light photo work and even some 4K video editing, with Costco adding warranty coverage and a lower price than Apple or open box alternatives. The main tradeoff is the 256GB SSD, which can fill quickly once macOS and apps are installed, making 512GB more appealing for larger photo, music, or offline media libraries. It is a solid fit if you want a light Mac and can live with modest storage.
The $700 M4 Air can work well for basic users who stream media and rely on cloud storage for music and videos.
The compact Air form factor can make daily use easier while still handling raw photo editing and 4K video editing workloads.
Costco purchasing can add value through an included extended warranty compared with buying directly from Apple.
The Costco app can help locate nearby warehouse inventory and sometimes complete an order even when the website shows out of stock.
The 256GB SSD can feel limiting because macOS installation can take 30+GB, leaving only a little over 200GB free.
Inventory and pricing can vary by location, and the Costco app price may differ from the in-store floor marker until checkout rings it up.
Sustained heavy workloads can trigger throttling on the fanless Air, which can reduce performance and may shorten component lifespan due to heat.
Upgrading storage later can be inconvenient because adding capacity typically requires external SSD use or replacing the laptop.

No data for these Apple laptops getting so hot, they need to thermally throttle down so they don't cook themselves. If you run things at 100% max tolerances, you'll hasten failure. Otherwise, you're leaving performance on the table. Can't have it both ways.
If you're using it casually, you probably won't see any issues. But if you use it for an extended period of time under heavy load, you'll immediately have it throttle to a much slower speed -- and you'll shorten the lifespan of the components. Heat is one of the primary causes of premature component failure.
I think we both know that in normal use, there's nothing the user can do to shorten the lifespan of the components. Apple will throttle to protect the CPU and keep it fully within safe range. If you have evidence to the contrary please provide it.
Sorry, this product may be unavailable for delivery to 94301 or unavailable at the warehouse.
