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

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.
Which frequency are you using for your wifi: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ? The Roku uses the same ?

By default, HP using 5 GHz. Roku I assume is on 2.4. I will see if I have today when I step away for lunch. Shutdown and reboot next day has no issues connecting.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't make this free shipping when it went on sale.

Laptops coming with 8GB ram in 2020 is ridiculous

Yeah seems a bit light
Idiot complainers. Go and get your 16GB soldiered ram laptop then if you want more ram for cheap. Lenovo has plenty of those laptop with more ram and most of the new low to mid tier lenovo ram now are soldiered.

I would rather them giving me a laptop with Zero ram included but have two free sodimm slots anyday than a laptop with 16GB soldiered ram!

Quote from CT200H :
All you people who are complaining about soldered Ram are now complaining about expandable 8gb ram not being 16gb... This is a good deal and the extra Costco warranty is a plus.
Right on, Bro! Ignore those other idiot complainers!

I bought this at full price and on my way to adjust in a few. I also bought the Amazon Lenovo flex 5 r5 4500u. Both are nice units with the lenovo seeming a bit better feel/quality even though the case is plastic. The Flex came with 16gb so no worries there. The HP comes with 8gb ??? Like c'mon its 2020. You will need to upgrade that and you need to know how and be very careful. You need to remove the rubber strips on the bottom and the adhesive below is done very poorly. Once you get the bottom off, there is a heat shield [box style] and thermal tape to deal with. I've been doing this for 25yrs so easy peasy, but to most Costco shoppers it will be quite daunting. The bigger screen on the HP is nice but comes at +1lb or so overall. I put 32g in the HP so its beating the Lenovo by a hair on benches, but cant really tell the difference. Costco has the better warranty and 90days or more returns. Just comes down to size and need to upgrade ram.

Yep. At $600 I DEMAND 128gb of ram, dual processors and 3x1TB SAS SSDs in Raid 5.
Otherwise I may start a Gamer class-action lawsuit for Gamer discrimanation.

I just looked at this in person at the store. Screen seems decent to me. Only thing keeping me from upgrading my 2-year-old pavilion is the bezel and I don't need a touch screen. Just hoping other models are released later in the year with this processor. Otherwise very nice.

Just order it, I will use it for a few weeks, and most likely upgrade the ram to 16GB / question, Will going up to 32GB be worth it, will the gain justify the extra cost?

You can upgrade RAM to 16GB for less than $70. And ports are same and better on this as this has HDMI 2.0
