I'm liking this deal nice review on Newegg too, I know there was Inspiron gaming one for $700+ tax but this is no tax for most and much more portable

Just be aware that the RAM is soldered on, with no ability to add any additional.

The $540 model at Costco is a different model with different specs. It lacks Nvidia graphics, for one.

The Costco one has integrated Intel HD620. This one has a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 2GB GDDR5. No idea if it's worth it, though.

Nice deal, I think the lowest this has gone previously was $720. You're definitely paying a little premium for the Swift line's build quality, (lack of) thickness, and weight as compared to the Aspire 15 model that has the same hardware specs at $600.

For the money you can certainly find something more powerful with a 7th gen i5 quad and gtx 1050 for gaming but the real benefit here is the portability.

Much better video performance anyway. MX150 performs like a GTX 950m GDDR5 and uses very little power.

It has a TDP of 26W, 2 watt higher than 940MX but performs good amount higher than it.

Color is a bit washed out. I think i will return the Costco one. Waiting for the Aspire a615 in January to see if the color is better.
