Thread: Heads up! Great discount on new 13" MacBook Pro at Costco

Costco has a great deal on the newest MacBook Pro 13" SSD with Touch Bar - $300 off retail. Only for members. Only until this Sunday.

Pro tip: I actually got mine from Best Buy, they have a price match program, just showed them the ad from Costco.com and they honored the price. Best Buy's price is the same as Apple: $1500 for a 256GB MBP, they gave it to me for Costco's price of $1200 so I put it on my BB card for 0% financing for 18 months.

This is the best deal I've seen on a new/current MBP. My iMac is 8 years old and isn't being updated anymore so the timing was perfect for me.

Going to trade in my iPad Air 2 and iMac 2011 tomorrow at the Apple Store and use the credit for the new AirPod Pros.

Channukah came early this year!

Costco is selling the 128gb 13 inch for $1000, they are out of stock of the 256gb model they were selling for $1200. I lucked out by getting Best Buy to match the price of the 256gb even after Costco was out of stock.

If you want/need a new MacBook, now's the time, I don't think Black Friday will go lower than this...and the guy at Best Buy said if they DO offer it for lower, I can bring my receipt in and they will credit the difference.

I never got the original AirPods because apple buds never fit my ears, they would constantly fall out. These are SO much better for me, they're actually secure. So far I like them, impressed with noise cancellation/transparency modes...about to go wear them for my first workout.

Will go for a run with them tomorrow hopefully.

I've been using a cheap $40 pair off Amazon and they've been ok but sound is meh and the connection goes in and out. These are comparatively expensive, but the quality and features make up for it...plus they are SMALL, like half the size of the ones I was using from Amazon.

Yeah the keyboard takes a little getting used to...but my iMac was 8 years old and on High Sierra from 2 years ago...with the deal I couldn't pass it up.

Wound up keeping the iMac though so I can use it as an external monitor when needed...

Also - just used the AirPods Pro for my first workout - the ease with switching between noise cancellation and transparency modes and the efficacy of each are really cool. I do feel they're a little overpriced for what they are, but oh well, they're definitely excellent buds.
