Costco members only deal, looks like online-only deal so $9.99 shipping or warehouse pickup fee is unavoidable. I bought one selecting standard shipping and the site says it will arrive next-day.
I don't believe the 12gb memory is upgradeable -- EDIT: Memory is 4gb soldered, 8gb sodimm, so it probably can be upgraded with a 16gb or 32gb chip, but I don't have verification of anybody doing this yet.
300-nits touchscreen anti-glare display is perhaps one of the key benefits here. Not really bright enough for outdoor use, but with an "anti-glare" display and 300-nits it should break through a brightly lit indoor room without many reflections compared to more common glossy touchscreen displays.

Confirmed on a laptop in my hands that the RAM is 3200mhz as per the Lenovo specs, not 2666mhz noted it the Costco specs.
Prior thread for similar laptop (with a duller TN display at 250nits) at Walmart with only 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD for $449 for comparison and feedback.

Correct, unless you use a USB to RJ45 dongle. Many of the newer Dells are configured this way. We have to use the dongle to do MDT imaging.
08-08-2021 at 06:09 PM
Most laptops made for consumer market no longer will have the RJ45. It's for cost and simplicity but also to make a thinner laptop. Ones made for business usually still have it as it's needed in some environments. Or for example an ultra-thin Samsung I got a few years ago came with a special 1G Ethernet dongle included.

THats a very broad question, gaming depends on the game and resolution, video editing? same.
Basic office use with slight casual gamin, it should be just fine.
Specs matter when you want to use it to the max limit, but almost no one ever uses it to the max in continious fashion, those who do, ofte have desktop or imac for that stuff

No, this is not a gaming laptop and will perform very poorly in 3D games.

They are not comparable...very different machines here. There are differences in specs that would imply this Lenovo is a "better" deal, but it's really a Mac vs. PC decision, then screen size decision. After that you can look into other hardware specs. Oh...and also the Mac is 50% more expensive (actually 60-80% more since the deal is over and is now listed $899 on BB's site).

Best thing to do is just call your local store with the item number and they will tell you.
I've always found them to be happy to look up stock on items.

The announce date on this model was 5/28/2021 so it's as fresh a laptop as you get.
