Spent hours waiting on hold for Costco Concierge only to be told that the warranty is thru Citi not them, Called Citi, they directed me back to Costco. 2nd call to Costco after hours on hold again, finally find out there is a form you fill out and send to Citi. Sent form, few days later get a response that need a repair estimate. Call Costco Concierge again, yup, hours waiting on hold. Finally get thru, told to call Acer, called Acer and was told since outside the Acer warranty it would be $449 for them just to receive the laptop and assess what was wrong. Sent that email to Citi as repair estimate, nope, not good enough, got response back that they require a detailed breakdown and parts and labor cost. Gave up at that point. From our experience the 2+2 warranty is useless and false.
On your PC running Windows 10 in S mode, open Settings > Update & Security > Activation.
Find the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Switch to Windows 10 Pro section, then select the Go to the Store link.
Note
Don't select the link under Upgrade your edition of Windows. That's a different process that will keep you in S mode.
On the page that appears in the Microsoft Store (Switch out of S mode or a similar page), select the Get button. After you confirm this action, you'll be able to install apps from outside the Microsoft Store.

The athlon is better on *none* of the metrics, but the price is lower, the ram is halved, the chassis is plastic, no backlit keyboard, 1366 x 768 screen, and I'm sure there are other areas of worsening

What about the Acer 3 are you not liking? I've really enjoyed how 'zippy' it is and that it plays DOTA2 really well. But since I haven't tried out other modern laptops at lower price points, I"m not sure if I'd already get that same performance with something like this deal?
I have two problems with it:
1. I don't like the keyboard. I find the individual keys to be too flat and too smooth. The layout of the keyboard (size, spacing and location of various keys that I'm used to) not to my liking. The key travel and tactile feedback are not to my liking. The silver keys on silver background keyboard doesn't provide sufficient contrast. The lettering and backlighting are a little too subtle for my tastes. I was surprised by how much I initially hated the keyboard. That alone made me want to return the laptop. However, in the few days of use, I'm slowly getting accustomed to typing on it. I can almost touch-type on it now. Still...
2. Acer's warranty is horrible. For the sake of comparing it with other laptops, I've totally discounted it. For details see my previous post.
Except for these two issues, the Acer Swift 3 (Ryzen 7) is a great fit for me.

Just something you can consider. If that's your only problem with it, I mean.

Any comment on the zippiness and whether this is exceptional in the swift 3 or pretty standard for new laptops these days?
1) downgrade to another cheaper system if the performance of browsing on Edge (Chromium version) or Chrome, plus light Dota2 gaming, is preserved and it has 256gb (preferably 512gb ssd). I keep a lot of tabs open lol.
Or
2) I've been looking for whether a deal comes up with Ryzen 4700U + 16gb or upgradeable ram slot + 512gb ss in the same price point (650-700). My concern w swift 3 is if it doesn't really last 4 years because ram is capped at 8gb (not for games, just day to day analyst on a computer type of work)
