sorted by90 day no-quibble return, basically change of mind, whatever - return it to store, no questions asked. (https://customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1191/~/what-is-costcos-return-policy%3F). I've even heard of people buying huge TVs before big sporting events, think World Cup etc and returning after the final.
I'm surprised the 8gb RAM debate hasn't started yet, but for anyone wondering; so far for me the 8gb memory hasn't been an issue at all. I use mine for work and personal use, during work hours I often have at least 3 browser sessions open and each one can have up to 20 tabs going at once, Apple Music is always open, I often have YouTube playing most of the day between meetings, Teams, Word, Excel, VS Code etc. And I've barely noticed a hiccup (if anything you might catch a minor stutter when swap memory kicks in). This thing flys man. I even opened up Photoshop to test out the new generative fill features the other day, while all of the above was open, and it all ran seamlessly.
Out of work hours I usually just browse the web, occasionally do some coding, play around on Logic Pro (biggest project so far has about 15 tracks with lots of stock plugins), and again I've never had any issues. I've never had to close anything to allow something else to run. I'm not saying I don't think I'll ever have to, I'm sure trying to run Logic and Photoshop at the same time might throw up some issues, or if I bring video editing into the mix. But hopefully you get the idea of what it's capable of based on my usage.
Apple made a mistake with the M1, its just too good. (edited)
For some reason, the uk sucks at commercialising innovation whilst Americans are exceptional at it.
