re: Costco keeping track of returns, why are you acting like returning something due to a price drop is some type of fraud? I'm not over here flipping macbook airs for profit. I upgrade once every few years. Costco customer service literally said "we can't match the price because we don't carry that build, you'll just have to return it, which is fine since it's within 90 days"

re: M4/M5 difference, for $100 I'll take the 2x faster NVMe read/write, 30% faster overall gpu, 2x external displays via one TB port, higher memory bandwidth, faster charging, future-proofed WiFi/BT, better trade-in value when the time comes, etc.
holy crap. guess I'm returning the m4 24/512gb I just bought from costco for $999. thanks op!

edit: curious why the downvotes? I can't return something I bought a few days ago because of a price drop?

edit 2: maybe it's not clear that Costco doesn't carry this build, so it can't be price matched/exchanged. they literally told me to return it you heroic do-gooders

Is it worth it? Costco likely has better return policy and warranty.

costco is 90 days for electronics, and B&H's is perfectly fine if there's an issue?

I was thinking about the M5 16/512GB @ $900 or this one. Is the extra ram good for daily browsing, some office suite work, and Claude? Is the extra RAM good for future proofing/necessary? Thanks!

They aren't crazy discounts. The M4 Air was as low as $750 the year it was released.
