Picked mine up in store this morning, finally got all the updates done. Here are my thoughts so far:

1) Make sure you don't do a fresh OS install right off the bat, I actually got an offer from Dropbox for 25 GBs free for 1 year (in addition to whatever storage plan I had so far). All I had to do was sign into Dropbox (that was already pre-installed)
2) Make sure you do ALL windows updates, ALL Windows Store updates, and finally, ALL HP Support Assistant Updates (which does include a BIOS update already)
3) Make sure you're plugged into the power outlet to charge the battery, and go to HP Command Center and set the performance mode to "Performance"
4) Click on the battery icon in the bottom task bar, and slide the slider to the right for "Best Performance"
5) Uninstall any junk from control panel (I uninstalled mcafee, some VPN bloat ware, and alot of games from the app list)

Now, for initial thoughts on overall package:
1) I'm coming from an HP Pavillion x360 that LITERALLY just died 1 day after my 1 year warranty expired. I sworn off any HP products ,but decided to roll dice on this, PRIMARILY due to Coscto's return policy (90 days) and the 4 year warranty stack with citi card. I'm going to use the shit out of this in the next 90 days (before I upgrade SSD or RAM), just to make sure all is good.
2) The trackpad is plastic, but does support windows precision. Gestures work fine, overall feel ain't bad honestly.
3) Keyboard feels nice IMO. Nice spacing, nice feel, can't complain for something that's $599 pre tax
4) Screen is 1080p, but honestly, I wish it was brighter. Well lit indoor room is pushing the visibility on this, and outside use is impossible (just my opinion)
5) Haven't tried wifi yet (to confirm if I have any connectivity issues reported by previous comments). I'm hard wired into my 1 gig router with anker USB C dongle, getting my usual 900+ up and down, no problems.
6) Speakers aren't anything special, but don't sound bad. I haven't blasted on full volume just yet (to check for rattle as reported on some youtube video of the 4700U ryzen HP ENVY x360.
7) Power cable included is a barrel one, BUT it's kind of small and looks nice. Cable isn't braided, obviously isn't USB C, but I'm not disappointed.
8) Ryzen stickers are crooked on the deck of laptop (who cares)
9) Display unit at my Costco DID have a misaligned hinge (you can clearly tell just by looking). I haven't inspected the hinge too much on mine, but it looks OK
10) Fingerprint reader is right below the period button on NUMPAD, not on the actual keyboard (replacing the CNRL button) like one of the youtube videos I saw (which actually was for the X360 4700U model)
11) Packaging was impressive IMO for a $599 laptop. Laptop itlself was sealed in plastic, everything in box was included in box, and it was easy to open. I've never owned Apple or more expensive laptops, so to some packaging might not be best of best (who cares honestly)

Overall, honeymoon phase overview, I think I feel like $599 is a fair price for what you get. Overall speed of system is snappy, and at idle, I'm only using 2.6 GBs of RAM. 90 day Costco return policy is hard to beat, so if a better deal comes up, or I just don't like something (or it freaking dies like my x360 pavilion 1 day after the 1 year warranty expires) I'll just return.

Other freebie is the 1 month of office 365, don't forget to take advantage of that, on top of the 25GB free of dropbox for 1 year.

UPDATE: some common sense tips
1) Make sure the laptop box has unopened, SEALED "HP SEAL" stickers on top
2) All I had to do when buying in store was take a picture of display sticker, and clerk just scanned the code off the picture off my phone
3) Clerk at checkout (that you pay at), SHOULD give you a receipt (that's your copy) and some pickup slip thing for the guy that usually puts your stuff in a box to walk over to the cage and pick it up
4) I have NOT heard the fan AT ALL the whole time I've used this laptop today, EXCEPT for updating the BIOS. I'm being 100% honest, I have not heard the fan kick in at all, even during the initial 30+ Windows Update list of things to update when setting up the laptop. Laptop is cool to touch everywhere (although all I have opened right now is 4 tabs in new Edge browser and spotify - 4GB RAM use)
5) The LEFT hinge on my unit is slightly misaligned (you can tell by opening the laptop flat on the table and comparing the hinges). It's not as bad as what I saw on display at my local Coscto, and doesn't seem to cause any display issues, so I will let it be.
6) Might be due to my slightly misaligned left hinge, but when I close the laptop, the right side of the closed laptop isn't 100% closed (I can push down on the screen to "close" it completely and hear it close, but it's such a small imperfection I'm going to just liv ewith it. Just wanted to point out the real world quality control issues
Picked this up on Wednesday. So far, overall quite pleased with it and seems like the value is tough to beat at $599. At $799 I might consider other options, particularly with a better keyboard. But I am coming from a $2500 MB Pro for work, so I am slightly jaded by that. Here are my thoughts after a few days of use:

Screen - Seems pretty good so far, plenty bright for my use. Colors are more muted than MB Pro. Haven't played around with color settings though. Very glossy, touchscreen use could cause a ton of fingerprint smudges. Bezel is annoying at first but after a while I didn't really notice it. (See attached photo of the x360 side by side with my MB Pro and both screens on max brightness).

Trackpad - This is my biggest annoyance. Plastic feeling, too much travel when clicked, sometimes taps aren't recognized. Will use a wireless mouse in most situations so not end of the world, but definitely a pain when forced to use it.

Keyboard - Somewhat disappointing here as well. Smaller keys and slightly larger spacing than my MB pro has caused a lot of typos. Keys in the middle of the keyboard are fairly quiet while those at both the left and right edge have a hollow, plasticky sound. Have to get used to it being off center due to number pad.

Fingerprint reader is excellent. Immediate recognition every time.

Overall performance seems very good. Boots in a few seconds. Loads apps quickly. So far no issues with multiple tabs, but haven't really maxed this out yet.

Battery life seems very good but time will tell. Have yet to watch a movie, game, or do anything very taxing. Haven't heard fans at all or noticed any heat, even when doing updates.

Physically, it is noticeably heavier than MB Pro, but I will not be carrying this around daily so not that big of an issue. Wouldn't want to have to haul it in a backpack all day though.

Fit and finish seem quite good overall. Hinges aligned, lid closes completely, so far no QC issues that others have mentioned. Feels solid, though there is more flex in the screen than my MB, it's not concerning. Biggest complaint here is that the lid seems to be a magnet for smudges. Again, minor cosmetic thing but it is noticeable.

Probably will not use this in tablet mode, so no real comment here. Have not tried the pen yet.

Again, overall very pleased with it. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread and helped in my decision to jump on this one.
You guys bitch at 350$ lap top thats 768p now there's a Laptop with an IPS and it's still $hit? Lol you people

Can anyone help me? I have hard time pick between this and "New Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Bundle - 10th Gen Intel Core i5 - 2736 x 1824 Display - Windows 10 - Platinum". I use it for regular, and some video. Which is better choice ?
Man the only thing i dont like is that 250nits brightness. The weight is a little more on the heavier side at 4.5. Im assuming you can only upgrade one ram slot?

I updated the Intel Wi-Fi 6 drivers. When the laptop sleeps, it has a hard time recovering the connection. I need to disconnect and reconnect.
updating the drivers caused it to have sleep issues, or you updated the drivers because it was having sleep issues? If the latter, did it help?

If you're using it mostly as a laptop and for video, I'd go with a laptop. Surface pros are terrible to service, such as when eventually the battery fails. The screen will start to pop out as the battery expands. It's glued together and you need a heat gun to pry it open. At least with a laptop you're most likely able to unscrew/pop out the out casing and access the battery to replace. Not to mention the cost savings. There's a costco deal for an HP on this site that is about $360 I believe. Sure it's got an intel i3 processor vs i5 but it should meet your needs for regular and video use.

I had bought a treadmill on my daughters Costco account. When I had problems with it I tried to exchange it but her membership lapsed. They had us pay to get the membership reinstated and they exchanged the treadmill. YMMV.
Sams Club is the same way, if you are no longer a member, you do not get the satisfaction gaurantee anymore.

Anyone know if the Costco extended warranty remains in effect if you choose not to renew your membership after purchasing the laptop?

I have the surface pro 6. The i5 has passive cooling so no fans and is near silent except for "electronic noise" which is very subtle. If you use the pen and tablet mode, I think it's the best form factor. It will only have 8GB of ram for that spec. The biggest thing I don't like is the kickstand when I'm using it in bed. It's uncomfortable as it digs into my leg. My SP6 is not my main laptop. I just use it for light tasks or if I need something to do real quick. Battery life is great... again for light stuff like web surfing, Ms Office. I've done some virtualization and web development on it and it's capable. I still reach for a "regular" laptop as a daily driver. I have a MacBook Pro 2016.
Thank you for replying. I had 2 in 1 envy and I did use it for some gaming end up, the cpu getting to hot and it gotten loose from the motherboard and it stop working. The Surface Pro 7, can it install programs and runs normal daily task? What about the durability compare to this laptop? Thank you again.

It's really not that dim unless you use it outdoors or with sun shining onto the screen. One of the first things I did was lower brightness a bit, and it wasn't even on full brightness. My kids have 2 cheap HP Chromebooks with even less brightness, I believe about 215 nits and they're also just fine. All depends on how you use it.

The SP7 like the 6 comes with Windows 10 Home so you can install programs unlike Windows 10S. I've had my SP6 for a year and seems to hold up fine. It's light and very portable. I don't play games on it so I can't tell you how it performs. This HP might be better with gaming but don't expect much.

Laptops coming with 8GB ram in 2020 is ridiculous
95% of all the PC users won't ever need more than a 8GB of RAM. In fact I have 2 PCs at my home running Win 10 with 4GB RAM and everything is running smoothly. Unless you're doing something like movie editing or running a lot of programs at the same time you'll never need more than a 8GB.

Just a heads-up" for those who have already purchased and are benchmarking (Like I am), make sure you bring up the "HP Command Center" and use the "High Performance" setting if you are planning on running benchmarks, AND you are plugged into power. I was in the standard mode and was getting 1990-2040 on Cinebench 20. Now after making the adjustment, I'm seeing about a 15-20% increase @ 2380 score.
Which software do you use to benchmark?

I like to test mine before and after ram upgrades.

Thank you, I always thought the surface is portable so it better as long as you not use using it for gaming. Thank you for the input.

Any way to find the cable to purchase? I have spare small hard drive I can just add to it instead of collecting dust.

I updated the drivers because I kept dropping connections from my basement. I have no connection issues with my Roku in the basement. Now I have reconnection issues after sleeping but it could have been there already.

I bought the Lenovo Flex 5 w Ryzen 7 from Costco few days ago. After using it for a few days, there were constant wifi issues. In some cases it won't even connect to wifi, while two other laptops sitting right next to it had no issues. Returned it, going to give this one a try.
