$686.

I was waiting for this sale for over a month, so most is that purchase.

About $50 of the total was unexpected -- something I needed and lucked out with a 50% discount.

The 65W PD Outbound feature allows it to power/charge USB devices.

I bought a different Type S model a few years ago at Costco.  I used it a few times, and it always worked.

I never worry about finding something better or cheaper than what Costco carries.  If it goes on sale at Costco within 30 days, they will refund you the difference,  After 30 days, they will issue a full refund, and then you can purchase it again at a lower price if that's the case,  Or use the money to buy a cheaper or newer version from anywhere you like.

That applies to almost everything except certain electronics, computers, etc.  They also started refusing refunds of certain items after dangerous weather conditions are predicted.  In general, their refund policy is insanely generous.  Just be sure to keep all your receipts for the big ticket items.  Without the receipt, they will only refund the lowest amount the item sold for which may be less than you paid.  Even though they offer digitial receipts on theit website/app, they only keep hem going back a given amount of time.  Best to either keep the paper receipts, or take a picture on your phone -- hopefully syncing it with your cloud storage.
