Deal Details
I was able to chat with customer service to get a $50 off $500 online code and bring this down to $749 + $9.99 shipping charge (pickup instore still added shipping charge as well). I almost pulled the trigger at $899 so the extra $100 made it a no brainer along with the 2 year warranty (or 4 years if you buy with costco citi visa).

Seems good? Sister looking for laptop for college. Reviews say about 8 hour battery life. Is total warranty 3 or 5 years with costco visa?

Can't speak on the performance. But the weight of LG gram is insane! Was checking it in costco the other day.

Looks good. How does this compare to the Samsung Flex2 Alpha that has been going on sale (with student / medical / whatever discount) for around the same price point?

I wanted to be impressed by the gram but I was not...and it is not as simple as saying the screen is bigger. The Acer has a 3:2 aspect ratio vs the gram which has 16:9. The screen on the LG isnt as nice, either.

Also one thing that really annoyed me on the gram was the trackpad was centered on the laptop and not with the keyboard. This is more noticeable at 15 inch laptops and up in my opinion.

I chatted with customer service and told them I lost my coupon. They provided me a code to use online but never said if it would ever expire or not.

Having seen and played with both I would say similar with a couple considerations. The samsung is a 2-in-1 and touchscreen where the acer is not. I did not want a touchscreen. Both have good screens but the aspect ratios are different. I think the flex has a brightness boost for outside mode. The flex is more media consumption machine while the acer is more web browser/productivity machine. Of course the warranty is much much better if you buy from costco vs samsung. I liked the keyboard on the acer much better, the keys seemed to have more travel.

edit: also 90 day return @ costco vs 15 @ samsung.

For folks who are asking about coupon...I chatted to support and said that "I want to buy a laptop and gave them model #. I was told I can get 50off500. Can you please give me a coupon". They verified my membership address and asked if I didn't receive it? I said I didn't know. They apologized for the inconvenience and gave me a coupon. I tested it and it works.

I just chatted with them as well they said the coupons were valid until the end of August. I was able to snag one but I think I'm going to go with the Lenovo for $560
