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?
For $100 more? More power to ya. At least it's not like some 3 year-old mattress

Lol, if you wait 6 months after release, there's always a discount.

I've been watching daily hoping someone would discount the 24/512 so that I didn't have to pay extra for a 1TB I didn't need to get the extra RAM. Thanks for posting the deal!

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!
Yes, extra RAM is more important than the next-gen processor for MacBook Air models. So an M4 with 32GB RAM would be even better than this model.

if one of your reasons for buying a Macbook is to keep it for a long time (at least 5+ years), then it would be wise to future proof it a little (add more RAM and storage) if you have the money to do so.

The difference is very small for M4 and M5. From M1/M2 is massive.

Plus Costco does keep track of returns

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 [24gb memory] 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.

thank you, that's exactly why I had to return, otherwise I would've just price matched with them. it's a niche variant but exactly what I need

it's fine, one time a camera lens had an issue, they give you a return label and they send a new one

This one is configured at what apple would charge $2000 for easy.
