[Costco] Macbook Air M1 Base Model $1090.97

Price:: 1090.97
Savings:: 200$ off
Expiry:: February 26, 2023
Retailer:: Costco

Have been looking for a drop on the M1 Macbook for a few weeks now and just happened across Costco.
I'm not certain it's Canada wide or just Buffalo Run in Tsuu T'ina (Calgary)
^
I've been informed it's on their website.

They had a price tag with $200 off so I grabbed one this is cheaper then student program and even 9$ cheaper then their referb units. All indications seem that these don't get much cheaper then that.

Invoice

Does "resale" on the receipt mean that it is a returned unit? Would explain the sale price.

Basically $100 cheaper than education pricing but not as good as the back to school $210 gift card offer

A would say this is a pretty good offer, the M1 air is a really nice laptop. I had a Air before the M1 Pro and the battery life is way better and for something without a fan it performs 90% of the tasks exactly the same without any fan noise.

Another huge plus the Air only uses a 30W charger, you can power this thing from almost any phone charger and or even power banks

thanks. I was really holding out for a 14" MBP but this is almost $1k less than the $1900 refurb MBP 14.

I also had a $100 coupon from costco

Very capable laptop and super lightweight. Kind of fumbles with intense applications like Adobe Suite. But for day to day it's great.

The absolute best deal on this is usually in August/September when you can stack the back-to-school bonus, education discount and 5-7x aeroplan points.

Edit: purchased with 15% back GCs too.

Yup, still can't believe 18 months later, the ATL is still $950 direct from Apple Store. Hopefully, AirPods loophole returns this summer.

Fyi the facetime camera on the m1s are horrible. Very grainy. Just a word of warning. And no it isn’t just on some of them.

Not a huge deal to all. This isn’t my main computer and you can just hook up a better camera if it really matter that you come in at 1080p on zoom/google
