This is bad advice for two reasons:

1. This is morally bankrupt. If you used it for its intended purpose for its intended lifespan, you should be paying for it. You are right to be embarrassed. Abusers like you are basically how we lose this amazing free warranty system that's unique in the retail industry.

2. Because of point one, I almost don't want to share point two because it might be better for the world if people get trapped in that selfish plan. However, this violates Costco's return plan which specifies that tables only have a 90-day return policy. The customer service agents will absolutely turn you away.

This would fall under Costco's 90 day return window so nah, you ain't returning your iPad to Costco. Even if you huffed and puffed and threw a fit Costco has the right to terminate your membership as....it's private entity. A manager on duty would refund you your membership and ask that you leave. They still wouldn't take your old iPad.

For that reason your advice seems wild and VERY outta pocket. The 100% satisfaction guarantee is as solid as saying "the customer is already right": it's a lie. It just means that if there WAS a product or service that didn't have a set return window assigned to it the customer could seek a proper resolution. Again, you ain't getting one at your Costco done for this.

You mean Surface? Lol... they are mid at best. The failure rate on them is absurd. Microsoft isn't a hardware company (or a security company..). Unless it's a Surface Laptop (not Studio) it's pretty much junk.

keeping my M3, but this looks like a great deal. The iPad Air is a great way to get a fast processor without going to the full pro, because I'll just use my MacBook for the full desktop tasks.

I'm a bit bummed that I forgot about the iPad Air as an option when I swapped to a mini from the pro for something lighter

How is this better than this? https://a.co/d/0iaYVas1.
Amazon has free shipping. Does the Costco one come with Apple care+ at no additional cost whereas the Amazon doesn't?

For one, Costco provides 90 days for returns vs 15 days with Amazon or Apple.

Quote from Hyrax :
Get a Windows tablet. iPad is trash. I needed to upload a recording for a podcast, needed to post it almost immediately. Not near my Mac. There is no free audio software without spyware. My flac files are worthless because Apple refuses to recognize it. So GarageBand is not an option. iPad is a toy.

So I also hate apple... will not even give it a try.

BUT IF YOU DO... don't be cheap now, spend the money and get the 256GB version, I think it is 609.99
