just FYI, costco has this on sale right now for $999. its an upgraded version with i7 7700HQ, 2TB + 256SSD and double the ram at 16GB and comes with a 2 year warranty, I think if you use a costco visa you get 4 years warranty, but not 100% on that. The upgrade and warranty IMO is worth 250 bucks IMO, plus you can pick it up right now no waiting or shipping needed.
Well, in my opinion, when you are buying a laptop, more concentration will be given to the Graphics card, not whether it has a Core i7 or Core i5, in a specific price range. When I am paying $1000 for the CostCo deal, I should be looking for a GTX 1060 which will outperform any GTX 1050 Ti Laptop, whether it has a Core i7 or Core i5.

At $1000 price bracket, if you check for deals, you will find GTX 1060 laptops are popping up, mainly the 3GB model which will be still better than 1050 Ti. SSD can be upgraded in any gaming laptops and they are fairly cheap now a days. So don't concentrate on that component while buying a Gaming laptop.
Yeah, I agree that the Costco deal is worth the extra bucks - warranty, no waiting on shipping, upgraded HD, RAM, CPU...

Lenovo's shipping can be a nightmare - and once you click pay, they take the money out immediately and will make it about impossible to cancel while you're forced to wait 6 weeks for them to ship...

Their support, like many companies now days, is complete garbage too (based on my experiences with my Y580) - so buyer beware on that front... Full disclosure: my experience was in '12/13, so hopefully it's gotten better (though, if so, that wasn't my experience when dealing with Lenovo over my defective MXPE)...

At the end of the day, when it comes to specs for your money, they're at the top...and to be fair, it's a crap shoot with most all tech companies now days, so...

After my Y580 experience, I swore that I'd never buy Lenovo again - but as more and more time has passed, and when considering that I'm still using my Y580 nearly 5yrs later, it's difficult to hate on them too much... While the audio on my unit was crap due to a widely discussed/documented, yet Lenovo denied, design flaw, it was easily worked around with a $15 USB dongle... so... Yeah... At sub-1K, it may be worth the gamble to upgrade...

It is a $295 difference, not $350.
$750 - 6% cashback from ebates = $705
$1000 - $705 = $295

The cashback referenced is on this Lenovo deal, not Costco.

I have this laptop, pay less last time. It's really a great laptop but if you have the extra money go for the costco deal.

Exactly what I was thinking, I will see very small increase in performance from that i7 costco model. SSD only affects boot times. Graphics card is the same. I would go with this deal, its a case of diminishing returns.
