Costco Wholesale in store price for members is $399.99. If purchased online members will have to pay an additional $9.95 shipping fee. That is why the moderator listed this for $410.00 when this deal went Frontpage, assuming it being purchased online from
Costco.com with the shipping charge (399.99 plus $9.95 shipping charge) rounded up to $410.00.
If you want to forgo the $9.95
shipping charge and pick this up for $399.99 you need to go to the store.

- Build quality seems better; it's still got an aluminum lid and plastic everywhere else, but the keyboard deck has a nice rubberized feel to it, feels much nicer than the 330S
- Battery capacity is listed at 36WHr, compared to 30 on my 330S (some other configurations have bigger batteries). My 330S had dismal battery life - 2 hrs for heavy use, about 4 hrs normal use. This should be better but not by much. That would be my biggest reservation with this laptop.
- IPS touchscreen is decent, IPS but not the best. It's between matte and glossy - more reflective than the matte nontouch screen on my 330S, but less reflective than the touch displays on most consumer laptops.
- Keyboard is backlit, keys have nicer feel than on my 330S, which were rather cheap-feeling.
This 8GB RAM is not completely on a stick. 4GB is onboard plus 4GB stick
This takes a max of 16GB RAM in a stick (which brings the total to 20GB RAM)
Also, this comes with an empty 2.5 inch SATA/SSD slot. So, if required we can add an extra hard drive.
# I have opened the below and my RAM status in task manager shows (6.3 / 7.8 81%); CPU is averaging around 10%
# 20 chrome tabs
# Microsoft Project
# Paint brush
# Microsoft Excel
# Microsoft Word
# Microsoft Outlook
Laptop works smoothly.
Also, my battery is currently at 98%, And, it says 6hr 43 min remaining
if you have any other questions regarding this laptop, please ask here and I will try to answer as much as I can

Any particular reason to wait for the amd ryzen version that's just went out of stock over this? Looks like same specs otherwise.
