what is going on here

 

[DKEAMY]

I know right?!? Crazy!!

 

[thadoggfather]

Do you think it will go through? I don't have a Costco membership, and still waiting on my i5/8/256

It looks like a good buy if not an error. It seems like a very high markdown, considering this appears to be the one Apple sells directly for $1299.

 

[DKEAMY]

I ordered one. Got the confirmation email and everything. We’ll see if they will honor it. Worth a try!

Man, looks enticing! But, with a 1.1 GHz Core i5 processor, wonder if it is any faster that the 1.8 GHz Core i5 processor I have in my 2017 model. Although the one at Costco does have a 512 gig SSD, whereas mine has a 256 gig SSD. Don't really need the extra space, but it sure is priced right! I guess if I could sell mine for the same price, I would go for it, although the peripherals I use are all USB 3.

Just ordered one for my wife to replace her 2012 MBA. One heck of a deal!

 

[thadoggfather]

man wonder if I should try it.

also wonder if I should spend $60 for Costco membership or just pay the $37 surcharge

I wasn’t even in the market for one but this is too good to pass up! Almost half off!

If they don't honor it they'll just cancel your order not charge full price right?

Just placed my order as well. I have been on the fence about ordering a i5/16/256 but if that goes through ill deal with 8gb ram.

I’m not sure. But if they do you can just return it.

 

[thadoggfather]

Can return through online / don't need to deal with going to a physical store?

Maybe ill just bite the bullet on the non-membership fee

Ordered. Thanks OP, no way they actually sell it for that price. Worth a shot!

Has to be a price mistake.

 

[TalkShowHost!]

Thanks! I have another one ordered through Apple but it's not scheduled arrive until 4/7-4/14 so hopefully if this doesn't work I'll figure it out by the time the other one ships.

Exactly my thoughts, I have an i7/16/256 in process with Apple, but for $600 off, no brainer.

Thanks! Amazing find... hope this goes through.

It's out of stock now. Also, in the description by the top it says it's a dual-core i5, but in the longer description below the picture it says quad-core. I don't see an actual model number listed to double-check.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. Model number is in the description and it's the quad-core.

 

[thadoggfather]

imagine getting this thing way cheaper + sooner than BTO from Apple.com lol

I hope my non-member fee was a good luck charm

The only 8/512 config is quad core. It at least says 10th gen Intel which is right and model # which is right:

• Model # MVH22LL/A

Its out of stock now when you try to add to your cart, i bet they are realizing the mistake, unless we bought them all lol

 

[thadoggfather]

If it is a mistake, I'm sure some one is doing number crunching to see how many ordered to consider honoring it vs. manually cancelling everyone's order.

It didn't hit Slickdeals so I'd say there's at least more than a 0% chance haha

All of us right now
