Costco (U.S.) has better prices and faster shipping than Apple on MBP, etc

My wife just ordered a 10-Core, 16GiB, 1TiB, 14" M1 MBP from Costco for $2449.99, with 3-year AppleCare+ for $219.99.

That saved her $110 over Apple’s prices, and delivery is December 14 vs. Apple’s January 4, or for $12 she can get it tomorrow.

Costco membership ranges from $60 - $120/yr.

I’ll take the 64" 5k QLED TV, the super-sized package of paper towels, and the four-pack of lemonade with that order please.

FWIW, educational discounting at Apple seems to bring pricing to a more competitive rate.

@JohnAtl I thought you had to buy at least a two-pack of MacBook Pros at Costco?

Costco is great as long as they have what you want. We managed to buy a first gen iPad Pro there at a good discount, but my other Mac purchases I ended up at the Apple store because Costco simply wasn’t carrying the model I wanted (or wasn’t carrying any Apple products at all!).
