Which laptop do you recommend from costco?
Is the display issue with all of the flex laptops or else just the ones from costco.

Ok all. Been doing some of my own research on these 2 in 1 laptops, as I want to get one for my wife. Im looking for the best 15" model that has the highest specs and comes with a full keyboard and numeric pad. This unit does not have that and its about $600. Here are some other options for anyone else in the market.

Sam's Club - HP Pavilion: $650 (This seems to be the one I will get, as I already have an SSD handy to swap out; as all the other specs are the best, IMO. And has better reviews than the Lenovo).

CostCo - HP Envy - $600
https://www.costco.com/hp-envy-x3...89442.html

All have similar specs as far as CPU and dedicated GPUs and are within $50 of each other. OP, still a great find and hope this helps anyone in the market for a 2-in-1 laptop.

You will start seeing very good discounts on AMD laptops because of upcoming ryzen 4 series. AMD looks like gaining a positive response from regular buyers. Corporate buyers are more conservative so they stick with Intel. Anyway I suggest you to wait at least one month to be able to get best bang for your buck. Dell will start selling it's G5 laptops with AMD GPU and CPUs. But nobody knows how they peform in real life. So take this advise with a grain of salt
