Not true. You don't include deals from Costco and they currently have the same price on the MacBook Pro. Last month they had (and still have today) the lowest price ever on the HomePod mini and you didn't include that in your deals guide.

Just because you don't get referral revenue from a retailer doesn't mean you shouldn't be transparent about where the lowest prices really are.

Don't buy a M1, take my word for it (yeah, I own one). Let the software developers catch up. I was naive to get on the first wagon that drove by... I jumped on like an eager little school boy. Now I'm sitting here in my skivvies and I don't know where I am. I'm cold and I'm scared.
