I’m due for a new MacBook Pro (current one is 15” bought in 2015, mid-2014 version- have loved it for a decade). I’m a freelance graphic designer.
Costco's sale on the M4 Pro 16” MacBook Pro at $250 off ends tomorrow. Final price would be $2,199 (plus I would add AppleCare, I guess). Should I buy now or will there be further discounts after the M5 16” comes out next year? Any special perks or drawbacks buying an Apple laptop from Costco? (Best Buy has the same price right now, and Apple is offering a $250 Apple gift card which would not be as useful.)
My old MacBook still works okay but will want to buy something in 2026 at latest, so I just didn’t want to miss the sale and regret it later.
Thank you in advance for advice/opinions!!
Per the title - sharing in case anyone wants to buy a 14 or 16 inch MacBook Pro from Costco.
Edit - I’m not promoting Costco here or my own agenda lol. Just sharing this sale for potential buyers. Cheers all and please don’t remove this post.
This is my first post so hopefully it doesn't go too poorly. Need help with what to do. I got a MacBook Pro from Costco:
MacBook Pro Laptop (14-inch) - Apple M4 Pro chip, Built for Apple Intelligence, 12-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 24GB Memory, 512GB SSD Storage - $1750
I am within the 90 days and the new M5 came out. Should I switch to this one instead?
MacBook Pro Laptop (14-inch) - Apple M5 chip, Built for Apple Intelligence, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB Memory, 1TB SSD Storage - $1750
Both are well above what I need them for but I was thinking that maybe the M5 might be a better trade in class later whenever I need to upgrade and it shows better performance but I give up some memory and cpu/gpu cores. I am upgrading an old 10 year old MacBook so pretty excited about this just don't want to be sure I get the best value and longevity out of it.
Thank you!
the m4 512gb is 1400. I currently have an m1 512gb, and it still in great shape, but I figure an m4 means its upgrade proof at least for 5 years and the costco warranty is amazing and better than applecare
