Since Inna's old 2021 MacBook Pro 13' M1 8GB was becoming slow and unresponsive, we decided to upgrade to a newer 2025 MacBook Air 15" M4. After looking at various models, we settled on the MacBook Air 15" due to the larger screen size, lower price, and the absence of a fan (we dislike noisy fans).
I decided to order it from Costco.com, since the price ($1349) was lower than at Apple.com or Amazon. In addition, Costco has a great 90-day return policy.
