Wanted to give any United States based Mac-Forums members...interested in a new Apple computer...a head's up on some great Apple Computer deals at Costco.
Looks like pretty much everything is well below Apple Store prices.
Costco's everyday price on Apple computers is typically lower than the Apple Store (almost always a little bit below Apple MSRP). But this sale is even better.
For example...I just got a newly released base model M4 Mac-Mini (16GB RAM, 256GB storage)...for just $499 + tax.
Current Apple Store price is $599...Costco everyday price is/was $579. But now thru 12/2/24...base model M4 Mac-Mini's are $499.
Orher Popular Apple Computer examples:
* Base model M2 Mac Studio = $1799
* Base model M2 MacBook Air = $749
* Base model M3 14" MacBook Pro = $1149
* Base model M4 Mac-Mini = $499
Other upgraded models also on sale. Prices good thru 12/2/24.
Even if someone is not a Costco member...and needed to purchase a membership ($65)...you will still end up with a lower overall price than purchasing directly from the Apple Store.
Even better...if you know someone that's a Costco member...go with them & purchase.
Also Costco has a 90 day no questions asked return policy on computers. Apple standard return policy is ONLY 14 days...Apple Holiday return policy is longer.
Lastly...if all of this wasn't enough. Costco doubles the manufacture's warranty on computers (and other electronics). Thus a 1 year warranty...is extended to 2 years. I believe 1st year is the Apple warranty...2nd year warranty is thru Costco itself.
If there are extra-lucky folks on your holiday shopping list...get some of that holiday shopping done early!

p.s. I know Costco has stores/locations worldwide...very possible some Apple deals in other countries too.
