The 13" model with 16gb ram & 1TB is a perfect configuration for me...

Update: I arrive on the 512GB model when clicking. I thought indeed that the price was a bit low.

I ended up getting the 1tb configuration from costco for the Same price and picked up Apple care + for $108. Factor in the 4% cash back plus 6 year warranty = $1969.
Best deal so far.
The 90 day return policy is within when the nov ARM announcement happens.

SIX year warranty?!?

Yeah. First 3 with apple care+, year 4 through costco, year 5&6 through Costco Citicard.

Costco running a 50% off apple care+ With purchase of apple stuff. $215/2 = $108 ish

wish I was in Oregon with no sales tax.

I immediately thought “bs this won’t work. Prove him wrong”. I thought there would be no way the 2yr Citi card would stack to it... but it does (from their site):
Coverage begins when the manufacturer’s warranty, or an extended warranty you bought, expires.

As long as the concierge 2nd year warranty stacks too, you’re good to go!

And? Those are fake too...along with Christmas.

Sounds like someone is getting coal in their stocking this year.

Hard to argue with Apple that a scratch is a defect. They have no way of knowing when it happened. They goodwill a lot of things, that rep was probably right.

He said that "out of the box there was a deep scratch" - so I took him at his word. If that was the case, that would be a "manufacturing defect" covered by warranty. He also indicated that the Apple rep said Apple would not cover it because it was not purchased at Apple (NOT because they didn't believe him) - and that statement is 100%, unequivocally false. The Apple warranty applies to all new products exactly the same, regardless of where they were purchased. Now, if there is a dispute about whether the OP was being honest, that's a different story.

Irrelevant that you, me, or anyone here believes him. The rep gave a short hand explanation of goodwill extended to Apple customers purchasing from Apple. It sucks no doubt, but Apple isn’t a bad guy here

Okay, you seem to misunderstand the basic concept of warranties. It is not "goodwill", it is required for the manufacturer to honor their warranty. And it is certainly relevant whether the defect is a manufacturer defect or customer damage. How can you not get that?
