Just saw this on clearance at my local. Seems like a great price, no?

That is a grab it price even if you don't need it. You can sell it for more.

That's a great price. I was loaned a 13" M2 Air for two months and I was impressed by the power. I am guessing there will be M3 Air in a few months. Should be plenty of power for most people.

I'm very unlucky with trying to sell things. If I tried to sell it, nobody would want it. You probably sell stuff all the time.

I sure wish they would make these with user installable memory and storage.

I have an M1 with 8mb / 1tb and it cost a fortune.

Do you have a link?

I don't see that at Costco's site.

Just updated my 10 year old mac laptop with one of these. With 2 year warranty seems like a deal. They were typing the close out tag up when I walked in. I also bought the Sandisk 1tb SSD for $65. That should work for backups I hope. Now to figure out if I can get an adapter for my old Acer monitor.
Thanks for the heads up.

What is the configuration of this $749 M2?

8/256?

I've decided for even my light use, 16/512 is the bare minimum.

"Bare minimum" is more likely SOP for me, as I can't see putting more memory or storage than that in a 'Book.

Ok, maaaaaybe 16/1T as I'm passed hanging a drive off a 'Book, and like the idea of all self-contained.

Until DiskWarrior is finally able to repair APFS drive, I've no reason to boot of an external drive for a 'Book.

For clarification, the older silver model, with the touchbar.

You are welcome. Maybe undersold myself but I don’t do any heavy lifting. If I can get this one to last as long as my last Mac Pro it might be my last one. Needed a modern OS to support newer apps and updated security.
I forgot to mention according to the guy in the department they had 2 discontinued M2 Airs, An 8/512gb for $1249 and an 8/256gb for $1049.

It should work fine for backups... until it doesn't. There have been a lot of cases of those Sandisk drives failing. It should still be fine for backups. Just keep in mind that it could fail at any time.

I should have done my homework. I saw the sale price and noted the 5 year warranty. Obviously not worth the paper it is printed on. Thanks for the heads up. I have been out of the loop and reading up about usb-c and thunderbolt as well as Touch Bar. Need to get up to speed. Hope I didn’t screw up with this model Mac Book but the price sure was right.
Thanks

Using it for backups should be fine. It's pretty unlikely that your computer's drive and your backup drive both fail at the same time. Just keep your eye on it. It may be fine for years to come, but if it fails, get it replaced under warranty and maybe by then Sandisk will have fixed the potential problems.

It's a pretty fast drive.
