$349 HP 14" FHD IPS LED 1080p Core i5-1035G4 10th Gen 4GB DDR4 128GB SSD Win10

Incredible price for a *10th-gen* i5 with FHD IPS and SSD. Easy Amazon Prime return if anything isn't as advertised.

Black Friday is a bunch of BS IMHO. Manufacturer specs for this model show a core i3 but seller confirmed it is i5! Yes it is only 4GB but at this price you can pop 8GB in it for about $30 for 12GB. I'm 25 years in IT, bought at least a dozen laptops and for 10th gen Core i5 this blows away any BS Black Friday deals I've seen with close to these specs (usually the BIG BF deals for rock bottom prices end up being a 1366x768 display and/or TN not IPS and/or crappy Celeron/Pentium/AMD processor - Walmart, BestBuy etc feed off of the unknowledgeable customers out there that don't understand IPS, SSD, and CPU Benchmark scores)

The only real unknown on this is battery life but it appears it is a 41 WH battery which should get 6-8 hours on web browsing usage in my estimation probably around 5 hours on video playback - Amazon spec says 5 "years" LOL - that's amazing! LOL)

It's really seems too good to be true but Amazon Prime = NO RISK (I cringe at driving to and spending any time in line returning anything to Walmart or BestBuy - Amazon, drop it off at UPS and you're done.) I've got one on the way.

For reference, this is the model that was sold as an i3 on Costco.com for $280. However when people received it, it was actually an i5. So what you see on the Amazon listing is 3rd party sellers selling what they got from Costco. Just a heads up since it's a bit confusing with the i3/i5, but this model is definitely an i5. Just a mistake on both HP and Costco's part on the specs when they sold it.

Sold by XmasMall and Fulfilled by Amazon.

looks like someone trying to flip the $279 Costco deal for $350 and claiming it is a great deal!?

I forgot about that Costco deal, which was even more incredible so I see the comparison, but really the point of these threads is to let people know what is available NOW. Does anyone no of a better deal with similar specs available NOW? ESPECIALLY considering it's "Black Friday" -- there should be lots of them right ? (roll eyes)

Funny the lengths people will go to, to make a buck. Amazon takes 15% off the top of the seller's price, so the seller is netting $296. WOW, a whole $17 profit for the seller! But then they had to pay to ship the unit to Amazon to be a Prime shipping item so if anything they are at best breaking even. Realizing that, it looks like on the 8GB models they must be opening the boxes and popping in a 4GB chip for extra profit. They're going to be rich! Looks like there's quite a few other sellers at the same price. I doubt these are people reselling Costco units. They must have sourced the units at the same cost (or close) as Costco, otherwise as I've pointed out the numbers don't match up to make it worthwhile. But that's really beside the point that it IS a great deal, just not as great as the expired Costco deal. Not sure how anyone can go thumbs down unless they can point out a current better/equivalent deal. You can predict the future either.

I jumped on this and ordered it, then cancelled a few minutes later upon discovery of 3rd party seller. Not worth the risk for mediocre computer.

No, if it is sold by 3rd party seller then it will be different and will differ by each seller

If it is fulfilled by amazon I'm pretty sure it's under their A-Z coverage. Plus amazon is even hard on sellers on their market than ebay is
