Apple Store never ever usually had deals. I just bought my new M2 Air yesterday from Best Buy $1,249 8GB/512GB and 35w charger. I thought what a great deal. Then I decided to go to Apple website and configured the same thing but with 16GB ram and 70w charger. $1,479 plus a digital $150 Apple gift card included. Guess what is going back?!?! I already put the new order in.
Did not know that. I also went the Best Buy route since I have TotalTech. AppleCare added free with purchase. But, they don’t offer a 16GB/70w adapter config. So, I am having to pay for AppleCare this time. Damn 16GB Apple tax!
